Eau Claire Visit

Saturday we went to Eau Claire to visit my college roommates, Liz and Kristen. Liz still lives in EC and it is a middle meeting point for us because Kristen lives in Wausau. Mattey and Kelsey came along which made the ride go quicker, although Kelsey was quite antsy this car ride and did not sleep much either way. We spent our time catching up on life, eating some yummy appetizers, and reminiscing about our time in college. Car horns honking in the middle of the night, our ar class we took and barn books, and what we used to wear to go out. Good memories :) Here we are at our 412 Hudson House in 2003.
Liz has a 7 month old son, Collin, and he and Kelsey were buddies and enjoyed playing together. Matt was a trooper and watched the kiddos while us three girls gabbed the afternoon away. I feel so blessed to have these two amazing women in my life! They are truly wonderful friends and I am always thankful that we continue to make time to see each other.

As an added bonus, we got to see my cousin Katrina who attends UWEC. We stopped to see her dorm room, took her out for supper and then got her some groceries. It seems so weird that she is already in college and makes for a deja vu moment when I am back in EC on campus. It was so good to see her! She makes me very proud.
Today we are laying around watching football and relaxing. Yesterday was a busy day and it feels good to be able to relax. I am hoping to get a little more Christmas shopping done this afternoon, but we'll see how motivated I am. The upcoming week should be nice because we only have to teach three days and then we get a four day weekend. Can't wait! Have a great Sunday!
