roommate reunion take 1

together again!!

when i was a sophomore at utah state, i lived in a pace called old farm with some crazy roommates. here we are: kelli, linnea, deon, megan, alexis and melissa. it was such a fun year and we have kept in touch fairly well. we recently decided that we all wanted to have a roommate reunion and so we planned it and the girls ended up here. we found melissa but she was not able to come and we missed her lots. we wish she could have made it. next year for sure. so deon and linnea flew in from connecticut and colorado and we had a fabulous time acting like 20 year olds and catching up. we went out to eat and saw the sights in dc. on friday, kelli and i had to work so linnea and deon and alexis went to see the national mall and the smithsonian museums. alexis had to go home to baltimore for the evening so she didn't get to go to dinner with us that night. it was so fun to be together and catch up. here is some info and a picture
deon, megan, linnea, kelli, alexis

deon and her husband steve live in connecticut. he works for price watherhouse coopers and she has an amazing job as a photographer (http://www.deonjamesphotography.com/)
she is so talented. they are doing really well and are liking connecticut. she is so funny and beautiful. i did not want to be in any pictures with her but i caved. we made her sing for us with her beautiful voice.
linnea and josh are living in colorado springs. they have two of the cutest boys around. they just built a new house and it is beautiful. i am hoping she gets her blog up and running soon.
alexis and her husband dustin live in baltimore. they have two kids who are darling. they seem to be keeping alexis busy!!
melissa and rob live in utah and are looking for a new house. they have 2 little boys. so cute. oh my sam, we missed melissa.
kelli just passed the nursing boards and is working in the alexandria er. way to go kelli!!




on saturday, we went to the corocoran gallery to check out the ansel adams and annie liebovitz exhibits. they were so interesting and it was a great way to sepnd the afternoon. there was part of the exhibit where you could become the photographer and then your pictures would flash up on the wall. we spent a lot of time in there. i made a slide show of the images because there are so many!!



*slideshow is not working here so i will post it in another post!*


after the museum, we said farewell to lex and then we went to lunch at potbelly's. yum! it was linnea's and my favorite spot before she moved. after lunch we headed to the arboretum. the leaves were beautiful.




we took some pictures and headed on our way back home. we stopped at mark and ben's to play kelli's new favorite past time/obsession-guitar hero. i like linnea's rocking out face. after we had our fill of guitar hero, we headed out to have some pho (pronounced fuh). it was good. we all liked it lots. after pho we went home and ate pumpkin ice cream and stayed up into the wee hours of the morning talking and reminiscing. what fun. sunday was our last day together so we had brunch and then went to churchof course, we had to take more pictures!! then deon headed to the airport and linnea and i went to see old friends in woodbridge. it was over too soon!! thanks for coming roomies. can't wait for labor day 2008!!! it wil be off the hook! love you.

What a great experience! I just had my own reunion with roomies a couple of weeks ago and I think I got a hernia from laughing so hard...is that possible? It looks like you had a smokin' time;) PS I too am a bit addicted to guitar hero III. Hahaha. Tata!
