Me, Jessica, Michelle, Keri
It got me to reflecting on how blessed I was during my college years to have such fantastic roommates. Each one of them helped me grow in some way and helped to create many wonderful memories of college. So here is my little walk down memory lane. Feel free to join me, especially if you were one of my past roommates.

Thanks to all my great friends from college, both roommates and non-roommates, for wonderful memories and treasured friendships!

Looks like you had some great times with roommates! One of my roommates got married this last week and I wish I could have met up with her to reminisce- so nice that you had a chance to.
What wonderful memories and friends. I only had roomies two year before I found my eternal roomie. I had great times with them, but sadly they're not too good about staying in touch. We did have a couple of roommate dinners a while ago, but nothing much since then. It's kind of sad. I'm glad you are still so well in touch with so many of your former roomies. :)
By the way, I really want to get together with you and talk sometime. It's really been WAY too long.
Love ya!
That was so fun! You were an awesome roommate. I will never forget all the fun times we had. (I think that concert was the Kenny one). I'm so glad we found our eternal roommates about the same time. Thanks for the memories!
Clarification: The first concert was the Kenney one, the second concert was Keith Urban. Remember the scary man who took our picture?!?! Sorry if you were trying to forget that...
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too. I saw your blog link and was checking things out and ran across the trip down memory lane at college. WOW! How I look a little distant in that freshman dorm picture. But that's awesome to see the fun times you've had.
