Make new friends... But Keep the Old!

Recently some of my college friends got together for a weekend of fun.

Here we are in 2007 on Spring Break.

 

Here we are 3 years (+ husbands + real jobs + houses + 2 kids + grad school) later... (minus 1 who could not make it)

 

We had a lot of fun hanging out and catching up.  We ventured to Samford where we checked out our sorority house, found our freshman dorm rooms, and took pictures with good ol' Mr. Beeson.

 

 Our Freshman dorm room!

Overall it was a super fun weekend.  It is great to have friends that, even though you don't see them all the time, when you do see each other it is like you were never apart.

Senior Year Memory Part TWENTY FIVE: Kickin' It at the Country Club

One of our Senior spring parties had a country club theme.  I was really pleased with me and JP's costumes! I told him to just wear a polo shirt and khakis, but he came with two cool hats and a croquet club as well.  I had borrowed a golf brand baseball-style hat from my dear little friend Braxton but decided the hat JP had did a lot more for the costume.  I also bought some golf clubs at the toy store.

Senior Year Memory Part TWENTY THREE: Formal

JP and I met a few friends at Amy's apartment before the party.  It was actually the same group that met there for the 80's party when JP and I initially met.

Afterwards we met more people at Brio for dinner.  I loved my meal but apparently JP gave his meal a funny look.

This formal held on December 2, 2006 was a little stressful.  Two nights before the party Phi Mu nationals informed our chapter that we would be required to take buses to our party... even though there would be no alcohol served and our party location was 2.4 miles (I google mapped it) away from Samford.  Despite our arguments, they did not change their mind.  It was quite difficult to find transportation at such short notice, but our president with the help of friends was able to get it taken care of.

So, JP and I got to ride in a limo for the 2.4 miles to the party.

 

We did have a fun night.

 

It is always fun to dress up! (Although JP might not agree. If you notice in the pics above JP did not tuck in his shirt.  I didn't even notice but once our families saw pictures several of them pointed this out).

Senior Year Memory Part TWENTY ONE: Spring Break '07

This summer my dear friends Blair, Laurel, Amy, Emily, and Brittany... better known as BLAMEB... are having a reunion  Anytime we are together we are bound to have.  Take Spring Break senior year as an example.

We went to Gulf Shores for the week and had such a fun time.  To this day we still bring up comments made during a game of Catch Phrase and still laugh as hard as we did on that trip.

Senior Year Memory Part EIGHT: Senior Sisterhood Retreat

Every year Phi Mu would take a sisterhood retreat. Senior year we went to Gatlinburg. Although we stayed in a SUPER sketchy hotel (i.e. cinder block walls with wallpaper trim border), we had a lot of fun! We hung out in Gatlinburg during the day and then went to the Dolly Parton Christmas show.
