Alpha Gams- Troy State University- 1999- after the homecoming football game.
Backrow: Lori Lee, Amy, Donna, Front Row: Jacqueline, Shelley, Jill
I'm recovering from a whirlwind weekend of Alpha Gamma Delta sisterhood! I had the privilege of hosting five of my favorite college friends this weekend and we had a blast. Here we are picking Shelley and Jill (from Louisiana) up from the airport. Jacqueline and Kelly drove in from Florida and Tennessee respectively. Shana, of course, lives here.
We went immediately to Che Lulu in Mountainbrook for a late dinner and we laughed all night!Then we went to Billy's and listened to a band. The band was playing songs from the 90s which was great b/c it brought back so many memories!
Here's Shelley and Jill.
We stayed up 'till 3:00 talking and then slept in and had a late brunch. Kelly had driven in that morning to complete our party.
We shopped all afternoon and then went to sips and strokes where we sipped wine (or in my case Sprite) and painted for FOUR hours. Our other sister Joy was able to meet up with us then.
Here we are. It's Jacqueline, Shana, me, Jill, Kelly, Shelley and Joy.(Jac will start a blog soon- Kelly says she has no time!)
And our "beautiful" paintings. None of us are hanging these in our homes. The backgrounds were ridiculous. But it was a funny adventure nonetheless. We stayed up again after painting laughing and talking until 3 a.m. again and then slept in the next day. Kelly and Jac had to leave Sunday after lunch. That night Shelley, Jill, Shana and I went to see The Women and ate dinner outside. I don't recommend the movie- they tried too hard and it didn't work. Anyway we stayed up talking again Sunday night and then Jill and Shelly flew home this morning. Thank you guys so much for coming- I love you and had a blast!!! 
The absolute real hero of the weekend, however, is my sweet husband. I feel like I was on vacation too because I basically didn't see my family the whole time. He took them to the YMCA, the zoo, the park. He fed them, bathed them and put them to bed. Since some of the girls slept in Julia's room, she and Marky shared his twin bed. It was so precious- they giggled for a while and then would pass out. They slept great and the first night we put her back in her big girl bed she cried for Marky.
