Since 1837

November 13, 2010

It’s hard to believe that Davidson has been around nearly 200 years. So many classes came before us! The last time the Class of ‘05 together it was on a rainy day in May, meaning our graduation ceremony had to be moved into the sports complex. Tonight we dined in that very location.

I had a sip of homebrewed pumpkin at the preparty Matt hosted before we left. This one is WAY better than his first two pumpkin beers!

Amy and I give a special shout out to KERIN, who I hear is a big KERF fan on the West Coast!!

My dear friend Mizzle says hello :)

After sharing a short glass of wine with Matt, we sat down to salads

Simple.

On the buffet, there was chicken marsala, potatoes, and buttery green beans, plus rolls. I did not clean my plate, but I ate all of my veggies!

I had a bite of the cobbler (because I have to taste every dessert in the world!) but tonight one bite was good enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. I miss California’s food.

Girls from my freshman hall! Third Rich!!

Who knows where Matt is by now…

It’s been really fun seeing everyone again, but I’m ready to click my heels together three times

I can’t wait to go to my first college reunion! Reunions look like so much fun! At least yours looks like it was a lot of fun :)

Reunions look like a ton of fun! I am not sure if my class will have one – I went to a big school where graduation takes place twice – once in the morning for 1/2 of the graduating class, and once in the afternoon for the other 1/2 (it’s done based on college w/in the university). I hope so, though!

Time to head home for a little rest relaxation and back to a normal schedule isn’t it.

That is so cool that ya’ll have a reunion like that! I wish I had been closer with more people from college… I guess that’s what happens when you have an off campus apartment.

I’ll just live vicariously through you! ;)

My husband and I also attended the same college. It, took is a beautiful campus and we both love strolling it when we go back. Looks like you have a fun evening!

I love that you miss California food. How lucky I am to eat it every day!

Also, I love that you are so in love with your alma mater. I feel similarly about Notre Dame. It’s so nice to get back to campus and run into familiar faces. Small private universities just have a way of leaving a mark on you forever!

Apparently, clikcing your heals on works if you’re wearing Ruby Red Slippers. Bummer, I know! Lol…you’ll be back to routine and ready for another adventure before you know it!

I’ve moved too far to go to any reunions but I’m glad to hear you’ve had such a great time!

I attended one school for my first three semesters and another for my final five, but I haven’t been back to either since I graduated in 2001! Honestly, I’m closer to my high school friends and friends made after graduation than the people I with whom I attended college. It sure looks like a good time, though!

It’s crazy to me that so many people went back for a 5 year college reunion. I guess that’s what you get when you go to a small private school. That’s awesome.

You have to be so warn out. What a crazy adventure you have been on the past couple of weeks! Hopefully you will be able to rest some in the next few days! Looks like a great time though!

There is nothing like constant travel to make you long for home! I travel a lot for work and I always look forward to my time in my own bed!

You always look so effortlessly pretty. I am in love with that dress and wish I owned it. :-P So glad you were able to have some veggies with your dinner! The food does look very different from your Cali pictures. :-/ Hope you have a splendid day!

This is hilarious! Thanks for the shout-out Kath (and Amy …) :) I was surprised when I saw Dallas on the blog a few months ago, and now Amy is all over it! Such a small world. Looks like you guys had a great time. And yes, I love your blog, keep writing!
