30 Year Reunion with my BYU Roommates!

We loved this saying at the Irish restaurant Mary Kelley's and decided this was our theme, "Forsake not a friend of many years for the acquaintance of a day"
Hey, we have wrinkles but we're still cute after all!! Yes we were the blonde, the brunette and the redhead!!!






My 2 favorite roommates came to visit me and celebrate 30 years since we were together on Study Abroad for BYU. We went to Salzburg, Austria for 6 months and had the best time of our lives! Even after 30 years we were able to get together and pick up right where we left off! We did get together for Mother's Week in Rexburg, ID a few years ago and we couldn't believe we all had daughters that were friends and who wanted to be roommates themselves. They had heard all our stories and were amazed at their "crazy" mothers who couldn't stop talking and laughing and having more fun than they were!!! Julie from Idaho and Jill from Washington really made my week by coming to visit me!! They are awesome mothers and grandmothers and still inspire me like they did 30 years ago!! Our fun visits in Ohio included Kirtland, Longaberger, lots of shopping and working out and swimming!! (no photos of that!) and of course lots of FOOD !!
