I've been TAGGED

Denise "tagged" me so I need to post the 4th picture in the 4th folder from our computer on our blog. The only thing about this is that James has many folders of pictures on our computer from before we were dating...

This is a picture from 2000. It's Christmas morning at James' parents' house. In the picture is James' brother Bill, Ben (who will be 9 this year), Julia- James' sister-in-law, and of course Sieben and Nitney (James' parents' dog). This picture was taken 4 years before James and I started dating.

The funny thing to me about this picture is the fact that this living room and the "Christmas morning" scene looks exactly the same as it does every year that I have been at their house (which has been every Christmas morning for the last 3 years) though Nitney has now passed- sadly.

I'm going to "tag" some of my friends- but you'll have to look for their posts on Facebook not blogs. Enjoy!!

10-YEAR COLLEGE REUNION!!!

Over a week ago James and I drove to Milligan College, TN for my 10-year college reunion!!! I can't believe how quickly time has passed... I feel like it was just yesterday that I graduated.

Here are a few pictures from the weekend- we had a blast!! I was so glad to see lots of friends from our class- and of course a few friends that didn't graduate with us but have a special place in my heart!!!!!

After our small gathering- we enjoyed a parade, which is new since we graduated, but quite fun!! The students make floats or ride in a car or truck and get to entertain all of us. They even threw candy for those who brought their children.

On Saturday night a group of us went to Cici's for dinner and enjoyed catching up, laughing and (you know me) crying a little. I enjoyed so much seeing everyone!!!! The highlights of the weekend (for me anyway) were getting to spend time with "the gang" (Beth, Brian, Emily, Misty, Kyle & Megan, Ladd & Emily, Adam & MaryEllen and everyone). Thank you for being so kind to James and allowing him to feel welcome into our "family."

One of the strongest bonds that I have are to my friends from Milligan. I love that we can go for years and not see eachother- but every time we are together it is like no time has passed. I love you all... and you will always have a special place in my heart.

And- Denise, Danielle, Amy and Kerri... I missed you all soooo much!!! We'll have to get toghether soon.

We had a great time and were sad to leave. Hope to keep in touch with everyone- and see you all at our 20th (if not sooner!!)
