On Tuesday I was lucky enough to spend the evening with 4 of the most wonderful ladies I have ever met! It all started 10 years ago (AHHH!) when we met in our freshman dorm room. I remember moving day well. I was a nervous wreck about attending a college a whoppin 30 miles from home (It's ok, I'm laughing too!). My roommate was from my home town and I had known her for years. That part wasn't scary. What was scary was the large hoppy spiders we encountered, sharing a bathroom with people I didn't know, generators that would jackhammer the walls in the middle of the night, brown recluse spiders, and a ghetto rat. But, we survived!
Seriously, I have wonderful memories with these girls! Some of them transferred to other schools after our second year, but I must say we have become quite successful in life! We've made a nice contribution to society. Two of us have gone on to become mothers, we have a nurses, teachers, doctorate students, chemist, homeschoolers, wives, adoption counselors, but most of all we have a group of ladies who laugh together and supports each other even after all these years of being apart.
We decided to make this a annual event, getting together once a year to remember the wonderful college years and the memories we made while eating ramen noodles from paper bowls because the cafe was far to "gross" that day! I've said it before: I am blessed! I am so blessed to have these ladies in my life!
It was so much fun! I can't believe how we all have went on to get degrees with all the goofing off we did!
ReplyDeleteDo you know what I remember from my freshman year? SOMEONE deciding she didn't want freshmen in her suite and trying to scare them off! And one of the freshmen went back to Wisconsin! There. Don't you feel ashamed of yourself? ;-)
ReplyDeleteOnce we met you we loved you! :-) And, I must add that Erin was a RING LEADER in this! ERIN! Can you believe that?
