Travels in high heels- September 28, 2010
Most OB/GYN’s recommend you don’t travel out of your greater metro-area after 36 weeks. At 35+ weeks this was the last weekend of kicking up my heels out-of-town. (I rocked the high heels the WHOLE time!)
I went back to my college for Homecoming weekend. We don’t have a football team, just a lot of awesome old friends. Typically Homecoming would mean lots of libations in little party dresses with my sorority sisters. Well, substitute my libations for water and little dress for whatever I could find to fit. I haven’t been in a few years because I was thinking I was too old to go back to college and pretend to be 19 for a weekend. But, my sweet friends wanted me to be the designated driver wanted me to have a fun weekend out and convinced me to go. I must say, I’m SO glad I went.
Here’s some fun pictures…

It was great catching up with people I never fail to have a total blast and lots of laughs with. I truly treasure my time in college. I wouldn’t be the person I am without the friends I made in my sorority and the leadership skills I developed.
But, I did leave early. Our sorority was having a benefit concert for a scholarship established in memory of a sister. I was really sad to miss the main event, but I knew Greyson was worried about me driving 1 1/2 hours away. Before I left he reminded me “his whole life” was taking off in the car. Plus, I was tired.
I figure it was just a taste of the sacrifices that come with motherhood. I plan to keep going to Homecoming and kicking up my heels in the coming years. But, this year I had to take care of the little kicking heels in my belly.
Spread it around:
Oh my gosh, that's so fun- and amazing that you were in heels the whole time! It's great that you didn't let anything stop you- sometimes, it's easy to say "I'm too pregnant" or tired, etc. You'll be happy that you took that last opportunity before the baby comes
Tell Greyson he has to stop saying things like "his whole life is driving away in that car." It makes me well up with tears every single time! So sweet. Okay, I am officially a good little sister and have caught up on your blog and officially laughed my ass off and cried at school.
