Read your article, if I just would say: very good, it is somewhat insufficient, but I am still tempted to say: really good!

What a great story! I was so into my husband to be in college that I didn't maintain any of my college friendships!

HA! I have it in writing from 3boys1mommy! I win, I win!

I actually like your hair, it was better than mine in 1995, I assure you.

What a great friendship, those are worth their weight in gold!

I am so glad that i got to read that story. It made me a little misty-eyed. I guess I never knew how you gals became friends. I am so glad to know how I got my "brown-eyed"girl to go with my blue-eyed red-head. And what a cute. sweet picture.

That is really the best part of college! Dorms and friendships ;)

Love this little tribute and you both look adorable :)

2009-01-12T21:20:00.000-06:00

Which dorm did you live in? I lived in Kerr Hall. I rarely ate the food and actually lost ten pounds or so my freshman year (don't hate me). I dated a younger guy too, and spent too many weekends my first semester back home visiting him. Second semester I went to Mass and signed up for a retreat team. There I met the people that made my college experience what it was and I still see/visit those women (and some men) on a regular basis.

Make fun of your hair? I love you hair there. Is that wrong? I wish I had a friend like that. But, I'd say for me, that person was Puppy.

2009-01-12T20:06:00.001-06:00

What a nice post!!!! We must have been in college around the same time because I was studying to Ace of Base too!

2009-01-12T20:06:00.000-06:00

That's awesome, Elaine. And you're making me remember a bunch of stuff from my Freshman year too (I got hit with the Freshman 15 too, lol).

I'm with 3B1M, we are sooo going to make fun of your hair (since you said something!).

2009-01-12T18:15:00.000-06:00

So now we have to make fun of your hair, you know that right? unfortunately it's not unlike what my hair looks like presently, so I'll hold my tongue ;)

Hey is that a Sarah shirt? You are so in love with Canadians! You win Kami, YOU WIN!

2009-01-12T17:50:00.000-06:00

What an awesome story - it sounds like a beautiful & lifelong friendship. Yay!!

Great story of all the college memories, too. I enjoyed reading about them. University here is quite different, and I didn't live in a hostel/dorm so I missed out on some of those experiences you had!

friends for life are the best kind of friends!!!

2009-01-12T13:28:00.000-06:00

Awe, you took me on a trip down memory lane to college myself. I still have a few friends from then as well and I think we're luck for that!!!!! Your friendship sounds like a life-enhancing one and that's something to always treasure. Thanks for coming by not so long ago and saying hi. I am still playing catch up.

2009-01-12T12:19:00.000-06:00

I totally loved my freshman year in the dorms! I had so much fun. Too much, in fact, because I got suspended for bad grades. Yup. Still paying for that ONE FUN YEAR.

Great post!

2009-01-12T12:14:00.000-06:00

E!!! You're too fabulous! Thanks for the walk down our happy and sacred memory lane. The beer we bought was Shiner! Yah, buddy. The green Sarah McLachlin shirt you're wearing in this photo is still in my posession and I bust it out when I need to cuddle on the couch with my hot chocolate and three 4-legged kids. Your hair was a result of your very own Oprah makeover! I thought it was so pro! I had the hair that went down past my rear, then ended up whacking it like yours. Just you wait, I've got a nice little assortment of pix to tag you in on FB. You are soooooo sweet, and have changed my life in so many wonderful ways. I'll have to post the story about the answering machine sometime. You were my rock during those years of me fully flying by the seat if my pants and counting down the days to freedom from structure and school. I just barely got by. I was late to every class, never studied or did homework, never put laundry away, was mostly a pretty good girl but always had tons of guys over (entire fraternities, actually). Wow, you put up with a lot! But, hey, the boys were cute, and it's a good thing you liked my cooking and my music. Ok, we also did a mean harmony that would result in random applause from all of our neighbors! We weren't ever thinking about our volume being off the freaking charts! Love you back!!!!!

I am so glad I got to live with you guys, even tho...

2009-01-12T12:12:00.000-06:00

I am so glad I got to live with you guys, even though it was only a semester... not nearly long enough. Boy, Corrie does have a great perspective. I can hear her voice now. Miss you guys- glad that we are still in touch 10 years later. -JenFB

2009-01-12T11:18:00.000-06:00

I think it's beautiful that you both became and remained friends for so long :)

What a wonderful friendship!

Who didn't get the freshman 15. 1995 will be a lot funnier in about 10 years. Where have all the cassettes gone...still have a combo player in my 2006 Mazda.
