Omaha...somewhere in the Middle of America....

Well, Oprah was fantastic! Diana Ross was the guest. We went in expecting to walk away with a free CD. We walked out with brand new Samsung Galaxy Tablets (service included as well)!  It was awesome!  Oprah is not as 'big' as the tabloids make her out to be, so I was really surprised. The studio was fun and we had a great time.

Then we headed to Omaha the last weekend in February for my Sorority Reunion. We stayed with Frannie & Pete & Fritz.  It was great catching up on old times and just hanging out. It's funny to think Pete & I saw each other nearly every day for 8 years straight; so much has changed in 10.5 years!  They were terrific hosts and the girls just LOVED Fritz and Rocco.   Beth picked me up for the reunion and we were able to catch up on old times on the way there.  When we got there, it was fun to see old faces - the girls are all as beautiful as they were 10 years ago.  Everyone seemed to be doing well, and it was a lot of fun!

I posted pics on the Shutterfly site, but Omaha has changed quite a bit and Creighton has undergone a total facelift! New buildings, dorms, soccer stadium.... heck, there's even a new student center with a bar! It is gorgeous and we had a lot of fun, even in the cold, seeing the grounds I used to trek every day 10 years ago.

I wish we made it back more often, it was such a great trip.  Though, we decided to drive- which admittedly, was a bad call on my part, LOL.  7 hours, each way, in 2.5 days--- not bad with 2 adults. Add two energetic kids to that mix and it makes for a long road trip.  Ah well, the bonding......

Hopefully we'll make it back soon!

Future Bluejays!
