Ready for an ’06 PEF girls reunion!

A few months back, my former roomie and fantabulous friend Vinitha suggested we try to get the ’06 PEF girls together for a reunion. About two minutes later, the two of us figured out that the vast majority of us were students (and therefore have trouble hosting a crowd), and the Jameson Inn is right in the middle of the East coast concentration of girls. Well, six ’06 girls (Vinitha, Lisa, Anna W, Tiyona, Sarah A, and Noelle) are scheduled to arrive tomorrow, and Ruth and Bonnie (and maybe Jacqueline!) plan to join us for Saturday. There’s been a lot going on at the Jameson household of late, including the start of school and renovations of the non-functional bathroom (see previous post). So we’ve been a bit behind on household tidying, and certainly non-bathroom progress. Thank God for moms! Our moms cooked food, did laundry, moved beds, made beds, and did some fantastic tidying for us. Now we have three rooms ready to host two ladies each (tying our record for number of people sleeping in the house at once, with Princeton Reunions being the other time). AND, thanks to the downright heroic efforts of my loving husband plus Steve the friendly neighborhood handyman, as of a few hours ago, we have a functioning half bathroom to compliment our full bathroom. I’m so excited for my friends to arrive!
Vanity, vanity, everything is vanity! (It’s from the book of Ecclesiastes, people.)
The 3rd bedroom–now with bunk beds! (And quilts from Gram!)
Also a cute little bear…
Moms declare victory–and after a 4th straight election win for my mom and a job offer for Eileen this week, they certainly have been victorious!
Guest bedroom is ready for guests this weekend plus missionaries in 2 weeks:
My bike can now be garaged in the armory (where walking was previously difficult).
The Mess room is no longer living up to its name.
What’s this…?
We dogsat for Woodie last week, who lives up the street. Part lab, part terrier, all love.
John likes to hold the baby… (and you will note the embarrassing pre-moms state of the house)
Ooooh! Ooooh! Me next! Although, Mom and Dad did the same thing for me a few weeks ago. Go check out my pictures on Facebook, more to come! The list of accomplishments for that weekend was many pages long.
