Jill, Lauren, Merritt & I roomed together in G105 North Village at Furman U our senior year. Our initials were JKLandM. We told Lauren we asked her to room with us because we needed an L.
So anyhow, JKL&M reunited in the High Country to have girl time and throw Jilly a lingerie shower since she is marrying Mr. McPhail on Dec 31 (8pm wedding, dancing till the New Year, how fun is that??).
Friday night, after I tortured Merritt & LP by driving past Happy Valley Elem, driving through Main Street Blowing Rock and driving past my house, we arrived to Mexican Fiesta made by Jill. We just talked. It was wonderful. The four of us are so different, yet we really fit with each other. As someone said that weekend, we were close at Furman because of proximity, we are close now because we choose to be.
Saturday morning we headed to Moses Cone and hiked to the firetower. The views were amazing although we were just a few days before peak leaves. We had lunch at Jill's parents' home in Banner Elk, our High Country home. We visited Jill's future home and crammed in a little shopping. Then we threw Jill her lingerie shower.
Jill was awesome. Sunday we headed to Banner Elk Christian Fellowship to hear Jill's dad preach it. We were not disappointed. And so goes another roommate weekend.

how fun. it's great that after 4 years, you guys are all still so close.
You drove past Happy Valley? You weirdo. I love you.
Aw, I miss my college friends. This made me want to go camping with them.
yay for college roomies...always a special bond!
I totally drove past Happy Valley. Mert and LP can vouch for that. It looked exactly the same...kinda drab and dreary.
