Sundevil Reunion!

Over 4th of July weekend I had the opportunity to see my girls from ASU up in Washington and Oregon! (We missed you, Kat!)

We had a total blast. From watching Eclipse to buying fedoras and underwear to the Pre Classic in Eugene to shuffle board playing in an Olympia bar to Betsey Johnson shopping in downtown Seattle, we caught up, reminisced and had a grand old time. And ate a ton. Seriously, I felt like I was at fat camp. Jessie's parents know how to spoil us, that is for sure.

The trip started out with Eclipse at South Center, literally an hour after I had arrived at SeaTac. Those girls do not waste time. Jenna and Jessie had waited for me to arrive so that we could all enjoy the movie together, bless their little hearts. Sadly, I cannot take perfectly centered self photos. I think anyone who can has practiced waaay too much and/or they lie and just Photoshop the picture.

Myself, Jessie and Jenna. Super stoked to watch Eclipse.


The weather in Olympia was amazing. 60-70 degrees and mostly overcast. We walked along the water and the pier one afternoon. This tagging cracked me up: Hey Girl Hey!
Down at the pier.
Stop it you two!
I'm not quite sure what is going on here. This is what happens with timed photos. Never know what you're going to get.
The Washington State Capitol.
After waking up at 6 am on July 3rd, we drove 4 hours down to Eugene, Oregon for the Prefontaine Classic: a world renowned track meet that always produces stellar times and exciting races. Second from left is Amy and 3rd from left is Des. Far left is a praying mantis. I mean come on, look at those amazingly long, skinny legs!
This is what the stands look like on both sides of the track. Filled to capacity. Yes, the track meet does sell out.
The girls lining up for the 5k. Go Amy and Des!
If I had a better camera I would have zoomed in closer. This was such an inspiring meet!
Back in Olympia the next day with Amy! No, Amy and Jenna are not related, they just look alike.
Tumwater falls.
I love how verdant and lush the Northwest is.
Making shish kabobs. That seems to be the trend in my life nowadays.
Jessie was very proud of her "spread."
Getting ready to have our own fireworks show! Happy Birthday, America!
Jessie and her dad setting some up....
ohhhh pretty! Well, they are more impressive in person, of course. I've never experienced lighting Roman candles until this year. Way too fun! Totally looking forward to next year!
I'm not sure when I'll be seeing my girls again, but I hope it's not too long! Our visit was so much fun and I hope next time someone will be married (Amy? Jenna? Jessie?) so that Clark can come and have a guy to hang out with. Poor Clark had to sit this one out.
