Favorite Eastern Washington Town...

Once again...Pullman did not disappoint

Everything about the weekend was perfect...the drive over, the RV tailgating lot, the good friends, the new friends we made, a not too shabby showing by the Cougs, Sellas, new crimson and gray attire, Cougar Gold cheese, the Coug, Valhalla, the view from atop the library, the completely renovated CUB, walking along the mall, the leaves, the smell of the Palouse air...ahhhhh I love this place and am so happy that we finally made a trip back. I may have even enjoyed Pullman a bit more than usual considering I was sober for the entire weekend...Steve made up for my soberness.

Of course we had to pick up some gear for our future Cougar





You know you're old, when you'd rather stay in on a Friday night to play your favorite game than go to the bars



Marge, Searight and me walking into the game



The highlight of the game - at one point we were BEATING the #3 team in the country!



Steve may have been the most popular fan at the game with his partially homemade Incredible Hulk hand





Marge and Jeremy



In honor of one of the best Cougs of all time and my second cousins husband, Drew Bledsoe, Steve had to sport his jersey



Valhalla with Steve James and Scott - so fun to see some of my old co-workers from the bar



Searight and Jeff





Pretty sure this photo was taken right after Steve had repeated the same story to Eric and Jumbo for the 50th time...ahhh the things you realize when you're the only sober one around



The mall on a Sunday morning



The newly renovated Martin Stadium



Dupus Boomers - the new full service restaurant and bar with 40 beers on tap at the CUB...apparently this is the new place to study









Heading home...



Need I say more?



Thank you Pullman for another successfull weekend...hopefully the next time we're back, the football team will be just a bit better

Flashback...12 Years Ago

So, last weekend while we were driving Steve goes "do you realize that the freshman class starting at WSU this week was starting kindergarten when you started college?" After a brief lapse of hyperventilation and doing the math five times over in my head, I realized he was right.

Next thought...

Damn I'm Old

Therefore, in memory of this TWELVE year reunion and my first few months in Pullman, I dug DEEP into the photo archives. Nope, not through the Snapfish or Kodak Gallery archives, instead through the Bartells, Rite-Aid and ShopKo photo sleeves.

Bid Day...the day I joined Pi Phi's and the day I met girls that I will be friends with forever



The Pi Phi house



My girlfriends from the dorm before I moved into the sorority 2nd semester/freshman year.



Gangster Night - duh





Grout, me and Max - I'm guessing this was for the Studio 54 party





Skiing at Schweitzer with Grout, Lo, Max and a few of the ATO boys





And to reminisce just a bit more, here are a few things that were different about our lives TWELVE years ago...
- Internet/email was rare.
- Burning cd's was brand new and one of the coolest things to hit Greek row.
- Cell phones/texting were non-existent. I thank God that we didn't have texting or phones as I know for a fact I'd probably be locked up in a loony bin. BUT I was just a bit cooler (or nerdier - depending on how you want to look at it) than the rest with my pager.
- Blue eye-shadow and white eye-liner were very popular.
- Hmmmmm were fat faces in??? Or was that just the way a handful of us started off in college?
