It's hard for me to believe that it's been 6 years since we graduated from IU. Some of our friends we haven't seen since college. This weekend we were lucky enough to reunite with several of our old college buddies. Thursday night Jared's old suite mate Aaron was playing in a traveling orchestra in Aurora which is only about 45 minutes from where we live. Aaron was able to get us free tickets to the concert. So not only did we get to enjoy a great show, but we got kidnap our friend from his hotel and talked him into staying at our place for the night.
Friday my friend Staci (who lived on my floor in the dorm) was in Chicago for a conference and was able to take the train out and stay with us Friday night through Saturday afternoon. Then another mutual friend Jenny (also lived on my dorm floor), her husband and new baby drove down from Round Lake Beach (about an hour and 20 min north of us) for a lunch date Saturday.
Just like old times! . . . .with a new cute addition. Where did our 20's go??? Ever since I finished school time just goes by way too fast.
Finally for Jared's 29th b-day we had a couple of friends over for a low key night of food and games Saturday night. I think it was good times had by all. Unfortunately my camera battery died so I didn't get many pictures.
I had such a great time visiting this weekend but it was also bittersweet. I wish all our IU friends lived closer so we could see them more often. Thank goodness for the internet though, it makes keeping in touch so much easier!
