20 year reunion

Last weekend I met 6 college girlfriends in Scottsdale, Arizona, for 4 days of catch up and making new memories together. It was 20 years ago this month that we met on the campus of Calvin College! Most of us lived on 2nd Rooks, and we all stayed friends throughout college and after wards. Sometimes we laughed so hard that we cried and doubled over. We reminisced about our years in college together and caught up with eachother's families. God has been so good to all of us. I felt so blessed all weekend to be in the presence of these ladies and to be their friends. We can't wait to meet up again, hopefully in 2011! Special thanks to our husbands who held down the forts while we were away.

We had lots of pool time with great drinks. Joy was our hostess/chauffeur because she lives in Scottsdale. Can't wait to return the favor in a couple of years when you all come out to California.
Here are the ladies below: Kim Danhof Grahm, Joy Rinsema Homan, Betsy DeGroot Jacobsen, Kristi Lunenburg Elzinga, Jodi Kats VanStelle, me, Heidi Arkema Dorr.
Friday happened to be my birthday, so I spent the afternoon at the spa, and then we went shopping and out for dinner to Chelsea's Kitchen (fabulous Sangria!). We ended the night in the pool with inter tube races. Yes, you read that correctly....a group of 30 somethings were racing in the pool after midnight. It was fun: side-splitting, laughter, water coming out of your nose fun.
Saturday we did a bit more pool time, lunch at In'N Out Burger, a little more shopping, and dinner at Greasewood Flats, a fabulous hangout. We ended the night at Saddle Ranch in Scottsdale where Jodi and I rode the mechanical bull. Yes, you read that correctly too! We've still got it girls!
