Dahlonega: post-grad

This weekend was my 1st post-grad visit to Dahlonega.  I like to call it that...it sounds official.

I wasn't sure how it was going to be going back, everyone else now being busy with school & Alpha Gam activities, someone else living in my room.  But...the apartment doesn't even look the same anymore.  All the furniture is different & "my" room, aka Meredith's is now pink, pink, pink, without a trace of zebra. ;)  It all looks great, but it's not really sad because it doesn't look like the place where I spent the last 2 years.

I took McKinlie up with me because she wanted to meet my "college friends."  We had a great time hanging out with Cait, Ashley, Alison, & Sara [missed you, Brandi!].  


Saturday we walked around the square. 

 finally real friends!

We went to see Ashley at work at The Embroidery Shop & I got this great lunchbox!  Can't wait to use it at work this week!


After that, we went back to the apartment & just hung out.  

We had a little twitorial & got one (so far) to commit.


And...one of the most important parts of the weekend...we introduced McKinlie to the wonder that is lime chicken tacos & half-baked cookie brownies smothered in french vanilla ice cream.

There was only one downside of this weekend (well...besides leaving).  And this is what you need to know before I tell you what that was: Cait & I make great playlists.  The greatness is often determined by the name.  You know how a rose wouldn't smell as sweet with any other name?  Same with playlists.  So as a prize for this weekend, I made her a CD: {pray}list.  Lots of songs about healing & believing...if you read about what's going on in her life right now, it'll make sense.

Downside: "I broke the praylist, I broke the praylist, I broke the praylist!!!!!"
Good news: I made 2.


Miss these girls so much, but am thankful that I am happy where I am.  If not...going back would just be too much bear.

  1. I'm pretty sure that the quote is that a rode WOULD smell just as sweet by any other name??? Not sure though, I could have misunderstood this for years. I miss you!
