WEEKEND WITH THE GIRLS

It's been about 10 years since I graduated from college, but more importantly, It's been 2 long years since Elena and I took a trip to visit our college roommates...we decided it was about time again! We loaded up and left for a girls weekend with Jennifer and Michelle (unfortunately, Michelle was unable to come last minute). We met with Jennifer (aka - Fur) at the Cheesecake factory for dinner and then caught a movie together - it was so fun to go to a movie without a baby or child, because I got to watch the WHOLE movie, uninterrupted!
And we're off...

Me and Fur- all smiles- because we're eating CHEESECAKE!! We really wanted a picture of all three of us, but, honestly, the waiter was so weird we didn't dare ask; afraid he'd want in the picture too.

Fur brought her photo album from college, and that was great to look at! However, take note, do not take a photo album to the Cheesecake Factory unless you're ready to show them to your waiter (or atleast the one we had) wow, he was strange?!? (did I already mention how strange he was?) We talked, laughed, made fools of ourselves...and went to the Cheesecake Factory not once, not twice, but 3 times in less than 24 hours - who could ask for more?!?! I had a fabulous time remembering "way back when" and look forward to making the trip annually if our lives allow!!

Let's take a peek back in time....

2 years ago at the Cheesecake Factory (2007)...

Here we are at the neighbor boys apartment (1996?)...who knew back then that Fur and Ryan would end up together?!?

Fur's graduation (1996?)

One by one, we all got married..here we are at Elena's wedding (1997) - we must not have known how good cheesecake was back then...girls we looked GOOD!

And finally...Elena and Fur, this one is for you - we had a good laugh over this one! The "Where's Penny" Picture...

LOL!!!! Oh that Penny picture is the best! Man, why didn't anyone tell me to pull my skirt down a little or at least untuck my shirt a bit at Fur's graduation? Amazing what 10 years can do.

It is amazing what 10 years can do! You look like little girls in that old picture :-)

Fun times! I think it awesome how you all have stayed close!

Lenes, I love the "real waist" fashion - sad that it's gone...it was so flattering?!?
