College Friends

While Brian was in Ohio he had the privelege of meeting up with some old pals. Some were friends from FE Warren and some were friends from college. Aaron was Brian's fraternity brother and their senior year they were roommates in one of the fraternity's 8 apartments (located on the same property as the frat house itself). Aaron's wonderful girlfriend Danielle went to school at Mizzou and I went to SEMO, but there were lots of weekends we were both visiting at the same time, which makes for some great memories. Aaron and Danielle even got engaged around the same time Brian and I did. We've kept in touch via Christmas letters, but not much more sadly...of course that doesn't mean we haven't thought about them lots the last few years. They are living in Ohio while Danielle finishing her residency. She will soon be a pediatrician, which will be extra handy for them as they are now expecting their first baby in a few months. Aaron is working as a project manager for a plastics company. They welcomed Brian into their home and had a great time catching up and going out on the town. I am so happy Brian got to see them and I truly hope that one of these days we'll all make our way back to Missouri around the same time so I can see you guys, too (St. Pat's, anyone?). Anyway, thank you so much Danielle & Aaron, you two are the greatest and we miss you lots!
Bri's wonderful hosts:
Some things never change. Actually they do. In college this would have been a pitcher of "grotto" beer (the bar in Rolla):
Aaron & Brian:

I'm guessing this is one of those "you had to be there" type situations!

Me likey this view! Amanda, hands off, it's a snap shirt!
