I had a last minute work meeting in Raleigh on Tuesday and I got so excited because it meant I would be able to see a lot of my friends!
We met for lunch near NC State at a place called Porters. It's always so fun to drive around the campus and re-live the olden days of when I was in college.
Us girls loved catching up. My how times have changed...Suz just had twins, Cheryl is 26 weeks pregnant and Beth has a one year old! We used to be at sorority functions, now they are discussing how their children sleep and what to register for at Buy Buy Baby! I just kinda listened and learned since I'm a little behind! ;)

Then I went to Suz's house and held both babies at once! Zach and Lucy! They are adorable!!!
Just Lucy...
Then I got to see one of my oldest friends, Ashley and her sweet girl Jane. And of course their pups George who just got his "summer hair-do!" Ash and I grew up together but now she and her husband live outside of Raleigh. I had never been to their home so it was certainly time. I loved hanging out with them and catching up with Ashley! She literally has the perfect lil family!
Then I scooted over and met Kelly at our sorority house. She is on the house corporation and they just finished a large addition to the back (you can't see in this picture) so I wanted to check that out. This home holds so many fond memories from college. I met my best girlfriends and bridesmaids here. Special place.
Kelly and I met her husband for dinner at the old El Rodeo then I drove about an hour further late Tuesday night and crashed at a lovely Hampton Inn. Ha. I had work stuff to do yesterday in Eastern NC and then I cruised back to Charlotte. It was a treat to be in NC this week and not in the northeast!
Forgot to mention, I had an awesome navy VW Passat as a rental car this week. It was nice! I want one now!
Glad you got to see old friends! I always try to see people across the country when I travel whenever I can. Last summer I had dinner with a couple my grandmother-in-law is good friends with.
ReplyDeleteAlso - I had a Passat for four years and LOVED it. And I miss it now. I wish I had waited to get a new car until the new Passats came out. It's a great choice!
How fun that you got to see all of your friends! Those babies are too cute!
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful that you got to spend time with old friends! I can't even imagine in the next 10 years how many changes will occur in my friend group between moves, weddings, babies! O my goodness it's overwhelming to think about!
ReplyDeleteI still love my sorority too and all the wonderful women I met in it.
ReplyDeleteI would love to get back to BR again this Fall for a game and stop by but it aint going to happen.
I love visiting old friends. I just went to Denver and was able to catch up with a couple of college gfs. So nice and much-needed.
ReplyDeleteAwww it sounds like you had so much fun!! I imagine this is what I'll be doing in a few years :)
