I Survived!

I have survived yet another harrowing trip to Pullman for Homecoming.  Ha!  This year Hubby’s brother and wife came up from CA.  It was really nice to see the both of them, even for just a weekend.  They met at WSU, so they did a fair amount of reminiscing.  It was cute to see them together; they would get this look in their eyes like they were sharing a common memory. 
My friend is doing well.  She is set to graduate in May.  Being over in Pullman is starting to wear on her a bit.  I honestly don’t know how she is doing it.  I would have a difficult time taking myself out of the working world to go to school full time, especially in a place where the average age is 18 to 23.  Her grades are amazing and she’s applying for graduate school.  She wants to go to Denver University and I really hope she gets in.  I think Denver would agree with her.
The weekend was full of laughter, singing and drinking.  We put our favorite songs on the jukebox in one bar and had the whole place singing along at one point.  We also sang our way home, sitting in the back of a pick-up truck.  It was fun.
I’m on my last week at work.  I’ve already started reading materials for the new group.  The new managers are both out of the office this week, so no new assignments.  It’s good to have something to do, though, as my old group has decided to give me the cold shoulder.  If I didn’t have the reading for the new group I would have nothing to do!
