Girl's Weekend in Oxford

This blog really is mostly about the kids, but I have to take a moment and share something fun I got to do. This past weekend, me and 9 other Phi Mu sorority sisters took a Girl's Weekend trip to Oxford. We had the best time getting to visit, relive "old times" and share new things happening in our lives. Most of us don't live close and rarely see each other except the occasional football game weekend. So this was a wonderful treat getting to actually spend time together. We went out to dinner on Friday night, hung out at a bar (I loved the little guy at the door who actually carded me), and made a trip over to the Phi Mu house at 2:00 in the morning. (And yes, the door man actually let us inside to look around our old "home away from home.") On Saturday, we shopped on the Square, had drinks at old hangouts and had a fantastic dinner at a new place on the Square called Lenora's. The food was fantastic and the company even better. We closed out the night with a trip to Burgundy Room before making a run through McDonald's to satisfy late-night cravings. We do all know that we are getting "old." Hanging out till 3:45 am is much harder on the body than it used to be. But it was just so much fun getting to visit. These girls are a special group! We were in and at each other's weddings. We share in the birth of each other's babies, exchange Christmas Cards, and live for the chance to get to see each other in person and visit. And ...we all share a deep and undying devotion to Oxford and Ole Miss! I can't wait for next year!
