I love it when I can get together with my friends from college and "reminisce" about all our good times. It ALWAYS happens every time we get together! Maybe its because our 9-5 jobs now are just not as exciting as the things we did and got into in college. The times I had in college were some of the best and worst times in my life. I went through my first heartbreaks, my first bad grades (2.1 GPA), my mom first diagnosed with cancer when I was helplessly 12 hours away. Then the best times, 
I have four years of memories and friends I will never forget. As a Florida girl I survived my first snow and ice storms, countless beatings on the tennis court (and a few good wins that I remember), some crazy partys, and those late night trips to Walmart or just riding around because we had nothing else to do. Gardner-webb university in the middle of nowhere in a dry town (no alcohol) with its strict rules and nothing to do or eat past 8 pm. I know its hard to explain to people that I had the time of my life and I wouldn't of traded my 4 years there for anything. Often at work I find myself missing it, missing walking around campus, even living in the dorms or eating in the nasty cafeteria. I don't miss the long practices or weights or runs, but I do miss the motivation, team-mates, and being in the best shape of my life. I know I can never go back, but I can always remember.
And thanks to Phil for getting me an awesome scanner for Christmas I managed to make some of these "non-digital" memories, digital once again. I'm sure one day I'll get bored and really covert all my college memories onto the computer... but for now a glimpse down memory lane:

I love this picture because you can see the Rav in the window :)
Getting ready to do some grilling ...
Phil and Mike's house ... I was snowed in here a few times too 
Ilija cleaning ... the first and only time I ever saw him handle a vacuum 
An oldie but a goodie ... 
Our first snowman ... he was bad ass with a camo hat, beer, solo cup eyes, and later a burning siggy ... 
A typical Saturday night or actually any night ... lots of love at the table

My first spring break we were sent home early and we pooled our "meal money" together to buy some huge packs of chicken and beverages ... cooper fed us chicken for 3 nights straight on his little grill ... Good Times!
