Good morning! I am happy to be back and will slowly try to catch up on life here. It seems like a whirlwhind of a month. For today, I will recap my weekend with you.
I love my Kyla! We met 37 years ago and I have been able to see her about every 2 years.
I was excited to find this at a gas station! I love a diet coke with lime. It does say limited edition.
After catching up and eating lunch, we went into stores in the downtown area. It was fun to see our college apparel in the stores since I don't see it anywhere else.
We were all Kappa Delta's together. Angie, in the white hat was my roommate. She lives about 20 minutes from me so we were able to get 4 hours of car time (the college is 2 hours away).
This is the lobby of the nice hotel there.
Here I am in front of the aviation building. This was complete my 2nd year of college and where I had a lot of my classes. My major was aviation management.
The sorority dorm hall was closed due to the holiday this week, so we took a picture outside our dorm.
There is a long light display we drove along as dusk hit before we drove home.
Sunday morning, I stayed home & made breakfast for me and Brook, who is home from college. It felt good to cook in my new place! We had bacon, fruit, cinnamon roll muffins, and scrambled eggs.
Last week, we set up the Christmas tree.
Sunday, we decorated the tree. I typically do this Thanksgiving, but unfortunately, I won't have either daughter with me for the holiday so I wanted to do this earlier.
Here are 3 new ornaments from some of my travels this year. First, is this one from Brevard, NC.
This is from Churchill Downs in Louisville, KY from our bloggers trip.
And this one from my January trip to New Orleans.
I will do a Christmas tour at the new place soon.
Have a great Monday!
Ok your new place looks beautiful! I love all of the white- it is so bright and cheerful- can't wait for the Christmas tour!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It certainly is a bright spot for me in so many ways!
DeleteWhat a fun college road trip! Thanks for showing us the aviation building and the sorority house (sorry it was closed). Your new kitchen and family room are so pretty and the decor looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy!
DeleteYour new place is so pretty! I hope you like it there and make many great memories with your family and friends. I´m sure it´s bittersweet to be somewhere new but with the place as pretty as it is, hopefully the sweet will win out over the bitter :). I love all of those travel ornaments- what great mementos and what a fun trip to your college! Have a great Monday!
ReplyDeleteThank you Maria! Yes, I am thankful for my new place.
DeleteThe tree looks nice! And the little reunion looked fun!
ReplyDeleteIt sure was!
DeleteSuch a fun weekend! I love the pics of you and your college friends. I love doing things like that...taking walks back in time and reliving so many fun memories. I loved doing that with my dad before he died last year at the college I attended!
ReplyDeleteIt was so refreshing.
DeleteThe road trip sounds like great fun and how lovely to catch up with your college roommates. Fab photos! How great to have Brook home, it looks like a delicious breakfast and your tree is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim! I enjoyed the day trip.
DeleteSo glad to see that you are moved into your new home and already embracing the holiday season. Our granddaughter is a Kappa Delta at Texas A& M. Sending hugs from Waco!
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane! How fun your granddaughter is also a KD! And how fun to be at Texas A&M, especially with such an exciting football season!
DeleteSo thankful you are getting settled into your new home and embracing the holiday season. Our granddaughter is a Kappa Delta at Texas A & M. Sending hugs from Waco!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like such a fabulous day out with your college friends! I love what I can see of your new apartment. The tree makes it look very festive and cozy.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to see your college friends! It looks like a great weekend trip. I'm so glad B is home. Is this just for Thanksgiving or throughout the holidays?
