I had a faaaaabulous weekend in Maryland/DC visiting college friends and going to Katie's wedding. Friday I drove down to Maryland and the drive wasn't too bad, it is easy and about half of the drive I used to do for wac. I was sad when I should have gotten on 896 in Delaware, and then drove past 40 and saw signs for Elkton and then 213, because that was near where I taught. I wish I could have had time for an eastern shore excursion, because I miss Chestertown. So got to Hil's and it was amazing to see her! The last time I saw her was graduation! So Friday night was spent talking, catching up and just some quality time.
Saturday was crazy! Hil and I met up with Emmy, Lindser and Eye for lunch. It was a mini-worcester renunion. My worch girls were my core group of friends in college. We all lived on the same hall our frosh year, there were 9 of us - Amy and I, Emmy and Aubs, Blair and Hil, Christine, Lindser and Eye. and we all pretty much lived with each other all through college - lots of roommate switching but we remained friends. Senior year Emmy, Lindser, Amy and I lived together and Aubs, Hil, Eye and another friend Alex lived together. Christine finished college in December and Blair transfered for senior year, but I just think it is so cool that my main group of college friends stayed the same. We were a really lucky group, to be all placed together, and to be such a close group. I don't really know anyone who had the same crazy group of friends all 4 years. So lunch on Saturday was fabulous. It is great to hear what everyone is doing a year out of wac.
After lunch I took the metro into DC and met up with the girls at the hotel to get ready. It was so much fun, and it felt like we were in Florida getting ready for deserts at our our coaches' inlaws. We also spent a lot of time in hotels with crew. It was great to see Jclark, Katherine, Walburn and Betsy. So we headed out to the wedding, it took place at this gorgeous mansion in DC. Amazing gardens. The ceremony was outside and was short and sweet. The bridesmaids were in green and her dress was amazing. The wedding was totally Katie. It was so much fun. The crewie table was hilarious, we had a lot of fun. It was also great to see Amy (who was the senior coxswain when I was a freshman) and Leslie and Sarah. And I also got to see a few ZTA sister's who were bridesmaids, nametwin, Lindsay and Amanda. So it was just a great night and soooo much fun :)
Sunday we met up with another crewie Jamie, who is a senior at wac now for brunch. So that was fun, talking and getting to spend more time with my lovers. Then after saying goodbye :( I met back with Hil and got the car and drove up to outside Baltimore to meet up with littttttle! YAY! So we had a fabulous lunchy and it was great to see her. I miss my little. So she is also doing well, so that is fun. The rest of my drive home was good. I kinda created my own way home, I got off the turnpike because it was backed up, and I can just take 206 home. I was outside Trenton, and 206 makes a few turns and it isn't really well labled in Trenton. So I ended up on 31, which I saw signs saying Flemington - 20 miles and a few other places I knew. So I knew the road I was on would intersect with 206, or I could have even taken 31 up to almost Hackettstown. It made my Dad laugh that I can pretty much find my way home from anywhere in the state, because I can always find my way to somewhere I know how to get home from. So that was my little driving adventure. I really miss driving. It was sooo nice to just drive and sing along with the radio :)
So today was just doing things around the house, I am scanning a bunch of old photos from when I was little and then high school because I always want some, so since I have time. Its been fun to do and look through the albums to see them all.
So YAY! for my mini-college renunion weekend. I am loving being home in the states. The weather is just amazing, I love the hot weather and sunshine. And just all the random little things, I don't notice usually are nice. I'm drinking vitamin water like it is going out of style, enjoying all the little random food I've missed and loving the kitties and Brandy. YAY!
