CSD 10 Year Reunion!!!

OMG is really the best way to describe this wild and oh, so fun girls' weekend in Austin.  So hard to believe it has been TEN years since we graduated from grad school!  We had the absolute best. weekend. ever.  Katherine found us great house to rent with enough beds for all and a pool.  We truly could have stayed in a garbage can and still had fun.  This is a group of girls that every time we get together, it is like no time has passed.  They are some of my most favorite people in the whole wide world.  I guess that is what happens when you spend almost every waking moment for two years together, enduring some tough obstacles.  I am truly so lucky to have been placed with these awesome ladies.  Love love love them!

First up, Happy Hour at Hula Hut on Lake Austin.  Katherine, Jennifer, Julie, Tory, SSR, Kim, Celina, Melissa, and Megan. 

Katherine made us matching shirts with a memorable quote or something funny that happened in grad school.  We got to pick the one that "spoke to us".  We went to the Farmer's Market and got lots of interested looks of curiosity :)


Katherine (who just had a baby and was still a rock star--in between pumpings! ) by our pool

Julie and her self timer photos :)  We have just a couple of these from back in the day.  All ready to go out to eat at Contigo.

Celina (Mama of 3 boys), Melissa (Mama of one boy and pregnant!), Megan (Mama of one boy and also pregnant!) and SSR

 Kim, Celina, and Julie

The several year quest has finally been completed!  I finally got Tory to join Facebook!!!!!!!!!!

The girls!

  We made a pit stop at this "alternative Karaoke bar" that included darts and other debauchery.  This photo is only funny to those who know why it is funny ;)

This unforgettable night ended with another Karaoke bar.  We got a private room and had the best time EVER.  It was epic and a "girl-a-cane" for sure :)

I am only posting these two photos as they were the least ridiculous, LOL
