rah rah rah rah rah goooooo Cougars!



Yesterday, Andy and I took our girls to visit our alma mater, Brigham Young University. We met up with some dear friends in the student center for a food court lunch at the CougarEat. Ah, the memories! I had a roommate who worked at the Creamery in the CougarEat. She got to bring home the leftover bagels and brownies when she worked the Saturday evening shift. And I spent much time chatting with her at the ice cream counter while she gave me samples of ice cream. Earnestly Chocolate is fantastic, by the way.

Looking around at all the fresh, young faces, I realized that I could no longer pass for a college student. Sigh. That's okay... I am so glad to be done with finals and a heavy backpack among other things.

We took the girls to the bookstore and outfitted them in some fine Cougar apparel. Alli and Ruby were thrilled with their matching BYU shirts. Me too. They were so cute bopping around campus in their BYU gear.

We took the kids to the art building where I spent much of my time. We walked across campus to the science museum to see the extensive collection of animal specimen. We chilled at the Creamery on 9th East. We walked through the law school. We found the children's section in the library and read some books (and tried to stay quiet so all the students could study).

It was fun for Andy and I to reminisce about our newlywed years, cheap student housing, fun moments on campus, good friends... we had a great time at BYU... again.

Mmmm! Earnestly Chocolate... I could go for some of that right about now.

How fun to show the girls all around! They look so cute in their matching shirts.

College kids are getting littler, it's true. I see undergrads around here and can't believe that their parents are letting them leave home already!

It was so much fun to see you guys! It looks like the rest of the Cougar visit was a resounding success. Rise and shine . . . and all that jazz.

See you in May!
