theta reunion

This weekend was a big celebration for the K-State Theta chapter's 50th anniversary. The timing worked out so that I could come to Kansas with the girls to participate in the celebration.

Heidi stayed with me at Mom & Dad's house for the weekend so that we had more opportunities to catch-up and she could spend some quality time with Madeline and Julia. We started off our reminiscing by having dinner at Rock-A-Belly (where else?!) last night and started to run into familiar faces there. This morning we toured the house to see what had changed (as well as what hadn't!) and what was going to change with the upcoming major remodel. We would take a few steps and then there would be another person I hadn't seen since college to greet and hug... it took us a long time to get through the house!

Then we went to high tea (or as Madeline called it, the Grownup Fancy Tea Party) and did more visiting.

Look who we ran into as we were leaving the tea!


Our day of Theta concluded with dinner with the other gals who were initiated between 1990-2000, another stop at Rock-A-Belly, and a quick tour through Aggieville, including signing the paddle at Kite's. I think we were in bed, exhausted, before midnight... what a change from college days!
