College Roomie Weekend Getaway

This weekend I had the privilege of getting away for 3 nights to hang out with my college roommates. We met at my parent's house in Pebble Beach. It was perfect because we had free lodging and we cooked most of our meals, so the girls really just had to pay airfare. I was amazed that it worked out for all 7 of us to come. Tonja came from Iowa, Mary came from Montana, Molly and Jackie came from Colorado and Charissa and Renee came up from Southern California. We had such a fabulous time talking, laughing, and crying. We were able to share how God has blessed us and how he is challenging us. It was such a blessing for us to get together and pick right up where we left off. The last time we were all together was in 2004 for Charissa's wedding. We watched some videos from college and looked at pictures. We realized that we really have gotten a little older and we were pretty crazy in college. It is a time in our lives that we all agreed we would go back to if we could.

We didn't do a whole lot during the weekend, mostly just talking, eating, and sleeping in. Here are a few photos from our weekend. Thanks again ladies for a great time!


Out for dinner in Carmel. Charissa brought her 9 month old son Macaiah along. He was a great baby, we hardly noticed he was there.



The non California girls had to run in the ocean, "like on Baywatch," even though it was barely 60 degrees outside. Us CA girls just watched and took pictures:)

Sunday night some of us went to hear the bagpiper and get drinks.

Me with Mary and Tonja, these were the girls that were my bedroom at college and this weekend.

Another almost group shot. Jackie came out with her husband, daughter and a couple other friends, so she spent Sunday with them in San Fransisco. We missed you Jackie!

Here's all of us, plus Jackie's daughter Lydia. We spent several hours around the kitchen table. I think every meal turned into a 2 hour chat time.

Kevin graciously held down the fort while I was gone. It was the first time he had both kids for that long of a period. He did great and I know the kids had a good time. I was sure ready to see my babies when I got home!
