I graduated from Taylor University with fun, beautiful, trusted and committed friends for life. Each year, we gather for a weekend to re-live our TU days and love on each other in-person. We have a proven, simple friendship philosophy. It worked when we were planting the seeds 13 years ago and still keeps us strong now:
1. eat good food together
2. sit in our pajamas and talk
2. sit in our pajamas and talk
We visited Ali in Ohio this year and we've heard her talk about the Winking Lizard since we graduated. We've all been dying to go together, so we piled 5 adults and 2 babies into the SUV to go practice the "eat good food" part.

We all really love each others' kids. Really, we do. Even Jenny. But this is what our reunion dinner ended up looking like. Turns out babies don't like 3 hour dinners.
We ate at home the rest of the time. Which has many benefits including elastic-waisted pants. :)Never to be defeated by screaming babies in the backseat, we pumped up the music and threw a dance party in the car. See? Just like the good ol' Christian College days.
I love my friends.

Once again, I've been proven right...but this time by Ali. The girl is a blogging maniac. :) Love you, and will forgive you for posting weird face picture of me everywhere because you're so cute and fun. Love you dearly.
Oh, and look. I was repetitive with the love yous and there's a typo. Ali will love that. I'm tired.
