Alum Weekend

Alum Weekend was in a word, amazing. The only bad thing about the weekend was saying goodbye to all of my sorority sisters again- I cried. Being back together after so much time apart really made me appreciate that no matter how much time passes, there will always be people that can say, "Remember that one time..."

Thursday night: Heather arrives!!!

Friday: Rebecca arrives- we all get ready and go up to Ebbet's to meet up with the rest of the girls. Then we head to the FREEZING COLD cards game.

Went out for the evening- slept in till about 8:15 on Saturday- Blake had to work at 8, then Rebecca came in and woke me up (she always wakes up early and wanted company). Spent some quality time with her and Heather, then got ready for the Alum Banquet. We had a guest speaker- one of the original charter advisors that told us all about how Alpha Chi Omega got out start at Missouri State 25 years ago. And, we of course, took a class pic:

Then we went out for the night- met up with the class two years ahead of us, and had lots of fun.

To do:

• Finish cleaning the house (dust guest room, clean bathroom)
• Give Ellie a bath- should probaby do this before I clean the bathroom
• Make chocolate cookies
• Finish folding clean clothes

We finally used the pork tenderloin I bought before we were even married last night to make pulled pork... mmmm. I think that will be my lunch today as well, and I'll probably just do something quick tonight for dinner like a sandwich- that was I can get on that to do list before people start arriving!

Happy Wednesday!!! This weekend is Alumnae Weekend for my sorority and my friends start arriving tomorrow night!!! YAY! I have two friends staying with me, so Blake and I have been cleaning the house- well he has been cleaning while I've been working on free lance stuff. He had yesterday and today off, and he works tomorrow at 2, so he's gotten a lot done. I plan to attack the house tonight when I get off work, as well as Miss Ellie, who is in desperate need of a BATH!

The knee is doing... better, I think. I was going to try to walk a bit tonight, but with all we have to do, I think I'll just give it another few days and hope it's really all better. I'm debating whether or not I'll be able to do the half marathon- I REALLY want to, but I'm way behind in my training and Addie's not going to be able to do it, so it's not looking too good.
