Here we are at Claire's wedding. Sorry, I was trying to scan a scrapbook page. Darn those scrapbooks (Don't laugh at the page.. I am NOT a scrapbooker, and this was one of my first attempts about 10 years ago)... Needless to say, we are tight friends... and although we don't stay in touch regularly... when we DO get in touch we always have a GREAT time...
We went to the ELLEN SHOW! And believe it or not, it is pretty much a full day activity. We left Claire's house in Yorba Linda at about 10:00 and got to the show and parked. You are then corralled into a number of different lines to "check in" and to "check ID" and then you wait... Our waiting became much more enjoyable when we were selected by the audience department to participate in the "GAME" for the show. After interviews, it was decided that Claire and I were the best "suited" for live TV. (Meaning, we were the craziest, and most willing to humiliate ourselves... pretty much same as it has always been). Alas, once in the show, we were not the ones chosen. You can see who was if you click on this. (Look at Wednesday's show)
As much as I would LOVE to show you pix of the studio, cameras were not allowed inside. If you set your tivo for Ellen, we were on Wednesday's show and Claire and Nicole were shown TWICE in FULL VIEW. (Good job girls, you were showing GREAT enthusiasm)
We had a great time, and of course spent most of our time just catching up with each other. After the show we headed to Jen's request.. THE CRAB COOKER!!! (like we would say no) Here we are 17 years LATER!I probably have 50 pictures of Jen doing this back in the day, things haven't changed much:
But I SHOULD have taken a picture of Nicole eating crab for what I think she said was... the SECOND time. I am honored Nic.. I can't believe I have been with you BOTH times you have eaten Crab.
After our dinner, we had to get a sweet treat and Jen used her Iphone (LOVE THAT THING) and found us a Sprinkles... YUM. You KNOW they are my fav! They were closed but there was someone still in the store. Jen hopped out of the car and knocked on the window and got us a FREE BOX! We had such a great time. Thanks girls for all of the fun. I needed a little break. I am sooooooooo grateful for our friendship and LOVE that we can get together after so many years and still have so much fun!

You are AWESOME! Thanks for planning such a fun trip. I would do it again in a heart beat! Let's make it happen again. Love you so much!
Claire
It's good to get away occasionally. When you get home you seem to remember that you actually really LIKE your kids! At least I do (insert sheepish look here). Glad you had so much fun...you deserve it!
You are the BEST!!! Thanks for getting us all together! I loved picking up where we left off! I think we do need a road trip your way. Say maybe January when its too COLD here he he he. Take care and lets chat soon.
Love Jen
That looks like such a great trip. I'm glad you had fun.
Love those girl friend trips. Looks like a blast!
I too was a rebel living off-campus is 1993 as a freshman at BYU. Crazy to think we were there at the same time.
My roomies were a little psyco so needless to say...no mini vacay's for me and those nut jobs.
Love the blast from the past photos! Sounds like a fun trip...whenever I get together with my old college friends, I feel like I am 19 years old again.
I'm so glad that you got a little break. Looks like you had a much-deserved-rip-roarin-time. Happy fall!
