Sixteen years ago, I was a freshman in college. Instead of living with my best friend from home, we opted to "meet new people" and live apart. (Also, she wanted to live in the cafeteria dorms and I wanted to live in the apartments with kitchens.) I had a good year and made some good friends. My friend, on the other hand, had the craziest, most fun freshman year ever. Ever. So, when they were deciding where to live for sophomore year, I asked if they would take me in.
And the rest is history.
This past weekend, I got together with nine of those wonderful ladies. After all this time, we still have the best time—laughing, crying, talking about our real-life adult dilemmas, and reminiscing about the past. I've been looking forward to this weekend for months, and now I'm so sad that it's over. But I know that I'll have plenty of memories to see me through until the next reunion.
I will always be grateful that the 6th floor U-hall girls took me in 15 years ago and let me be one of the group. And I will always be grateful that I have such an amazing group of ladies in my life. Love you guys.

awesome. So very awesome. I'm so glad you were able to go and get a break and refresh. Such friendships are golden treasures and I'm glad you have them.
I just adore you. I am so grateful that you chose to live with the crazy bunch of us. What an amazing weekend. love ya.
You were a part of us before we moved off campus. And I have the late-night photoshoot pictures to prove it. Melinda got out a blanket for a backdrop and everything. As you may imagine, we looked fierce. It's been a fab 16 years.
Tennille-y - what would life be without you? Not nearly so fun and wonderful. You are a rock star. And you make me laugh (which is definitely a rock star personality trait). Love you!
I'm a U-Hall alum myself. I, on the other hand, hated the place with a passion and ended up sleeping at home half the time; my roommate and I couldn't stand each other! Ha ha!
i also have the late night model shots to prove it. i am so happy we grafted you in.
