Weekend full of Aggies

It was a weekend full of Aggies and in this case that was a good thing. Friday night I went to Emerson and Karri's party in Fort Worth. (Sorry, no pictures, I didn't even think about it.) I met Emerson through Keith and Sarah, who were in town last weekend. They all went to Texas A&M - Keith and Emerson studying architecture. Emerson's roommate Karri, was a photo student at TCU. The just moved into a great house just a few blocks away from TCU and wanted to show it off. I met tons of really nice people and enjoyed seeing Emerson and Karri's art work. Since Emerson and Karri work together as well, plenty of their coworkers were at the party. Plenty of them were Aggies too. However, Deborah, another coworker is a Tech graduate so I didn't feel completely left out. I was shocked at home fun and friendly everyone was. This is by far the best party of strangers I have ever been to.

	On Saturday, I drove down to College Station to visit Katharine. When I taught high school a couple years ago, Katharine was one of my students. We've kept in touch over the years and she's now a junior at Texas A&M! I'm so, so very impressed!! We haven't seen each other in forever, so a trip seemed like the thing to do. It was a short visit but good all the same. We got to hang out, enjoy the beautiful weather, eat good food, and most importantly talk, talk, and talk.
Katharine lives with two roommates, Laura and Shelli, in some new apartments not far from campus. This complex was absolutely amazing. Check out their view from the porch! All I know is if I lived in a complex like this when I was in college, the last thing I would have done was actually go to school!! But these women seem pretty on top of things (Laura was studying when I first got there and Shelli when I was leaving) so apparently it works for them.
	Spending time with Katharine in a non-teacher/student way was really great. She's a wonderful person whom I'm very lucky to know. It was a really great weekend.
