Well, one of my favorite things out of those formative years at Baylor University were the wonderful friends I made. And some of those very best friends, in addition to my soon-to-be husband, were my roomies!
Each year afterwards we have had "Roomie Reunion." Just a nice weekend out of the summer where we take a break from our crazy grown-up lives and play, eat, sleep, tell funny stories, and usually end up dying cutting or styling someone's hair.
I so enjoy this time of fun and fellowship and I really appreciate the wonderful bonds of female friendship that we have forged. God has truly blessed me with these wonderful people. But it is sad that we all live so scattered now and that it almost takes an act of Congress to get everyone together in one place! But...try as we must...and try we will again this year.
Where to girls?
Oh, AND another favorite thing about "Roomie Reunion" are the t-shirts. You can't call us Baylor kids if w don't make a t-shirt! Sheesh! Last year was great, but we gotta step it up this year girls! Beaddazzler anyone??
Can't wait! And...I'll keep you posted!

I LOVE roomie reunion! And I think this would be a great place to post plans for it! Good idea, Leanna!
I vote San Antonio!
As far as dates go, I'm still pretty open for the summer, but if we thought the weather would be better later, I'm up for Aug. or Sept., too.
Looking forward to planning!!
I too love roomie reunions! And I would love to have y'all come to San Antonio this year. Let's work on some dates. What month is better for everyone?
So excited!!!!!!
It's still hot in Aug/Sept. But I'm up for most anything...just not the first two weekends in July (weddings).
I second for San Antonio. I love going there, but since I never knew anyone there, it was hard to justify a day-trip or hotel expense. But since someone near and dear to me lives there now...yeah for Roomie Reunion!
Bad dates for me:
May 12-14
June 2-4
June 30-July 4
July 28-30
August 25-27
I'd say June is probably out for me bc Jon doesn't have school then, and we'll probably go visit parents.
I've got Labor Day off in Sept. If anyone else does, that keeps us from taking off work any, and we still get an extra day!
Karen, won't Memorial Day weekend be out, too? When are y'all moving?
Yes, we are moving on Memorial Day. Labor Day sounds fine, but so far away!
Okay, so here are good dates so far for everyone:
May 6, 20 (just giving the Sats. of each weekend)
June 10, 17, 24
July 22
Aug 5, 12, 19
If you've got a problem with any of those dates, you gotta post 'em up here or we'll never know!
June and August look the most open, so I say we pick one of those months. I've got to take time off at the beginning of June, so I'd prefer August, or late June.
NOT May. Yes, late June or August is good for me.
Ok, Dates...Hmmmm...will be moving the end of July. So no on that. I think the 15th of July is out for a Shower in Nederville and all are welcome to come!
June...hmmm nothing coming to mind except marriage counseling crap. August and September, same thing!
So...how about...AUGUST 11-13 or
June 9-11, 16-18, 23-25!!!
Ang??
Hi!
Sorry for being out of the comments loop, I have been out of town. June 23-25 and maybe 16-18 are definite possibilities for me. Let me chat with my roomie and see what her schedule is like for June and we will go from there. I'll get back with ya soon!
How about Roomie Reunion San Antonio the weekend of June 16-18?
Ugh! Sorry guys...forgot that that was the weekend that Joe's got special plans for us. Anything else?
Yeah, and I might be out of town (or just getting back in town) June 9-11. So here are the good Saturdays now:
June 24
July 22
August 5, 12, 19
Well, the up-side to us being so busy, is that it narrows our dates pretty quickly! We haven't heard from Hill yet, but I think August will be best for her.
Hillary!! Where are you?? :)
Hey guys,
Another idea is to have it in August or September and maybe combine Roomie Reunion with a shower?
Jennifer said something about a lingerie shower =) and it could coinside with RR06 and save an extra weekend. We could do it in Dallas at my new pad, wherever that may be or even at Jenni's..
Any thoughts?
I'm cool with Aug/Sept except that it sounds so far away to me! I miss you guys!
Fun! Fun! Fun! Aug/Sept is great. Whatever works best for you Leanna...you are the one with just a few things going on!!!!!
One idea for you though on the lingerie shower...it's kind of a lingerie show with a twist. It's a "Romance Shower". I have been to one and actually just planned one a few weeks ago.
The invitation/idea goes something like this...
Robes, lingerie, pjs and slippers for her feet,
candles, lotion and a bubble bath treat.
Movies, games and gift cards too
for a romantic date night for Leanna and Joe any gift will do!
Join us for a Romance Showerhonoring:
Leanna Pate
These showers were a lot of fun. Not only do you get beautiful lingerie you also get movie tickets, lotions, restaurant gift cards, etc. Just a thought I wanted to give you. Whatever you decide - we will all be there with bells on - I can't wait!
Miss you all!
