IE mini-reunion

Back in college, Kyle and I both were Industrial Engineering majors. Our program was relatively small, so you got to know everyone in it pretty well. Two of my good buddies were Jana and Marianne.

After college, Mare and I ended up working together at TI in Houston and Jana moved back home to Nebraska. Then Marianne moved to Arizona for awhile, and then just a few years ago moved about 2 miles away from us. Last weekend was the first time that all 3 of us had been together since this picture was taken. This is my couch - from Jana's visit 8 years ago in Houston - with our first babies.
We thought it would be fun to try to re-create the picture. Same couch, different house, way more kids!
just first-borns
To continue down memory lane, here are Jana, Marianne, and me with our senior facilities design project. We were so proud of our work. Please ignore very bad fashion - this was 15 years ago!
And here we are today, presenting my mantle.

Wow - that couch was a great investment! I love your outfit - it almost inspires me to want to have 80s bunco again just because you rock out with that outfit.
