19 years ago the Mommy and Daddy of Ellie met in Athens, Georgia. Last month we took our four little bulldogs back and had an absolutely wonderful time! Here are some highlights - thanks for going down memory lane with us!

| Lunch at a famous |
 |
| Ahhh, the famous Arch. |
 |
| Where it all began! A shared major, a spilled coke in class I helped Jeff clean up, a small group of close friends with common interests...1997 and 1998 were wonderful years! But I must admit, so were 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 too. |

| Go Dawgs! |
 |
| The dorm we both lived in - a year apart. |
 |
| Jacob was in a golf tournament at the University course! He placed second and had a blast. Ellie was happy to see him when it was over. |
 |
| Ellie shares her muffin. |
 |
| Silly goose kept carrying him around like that. |
 |
| The library café where we first started "studying" together but really talked and got to know each other outside of class. |

 |
| Ellie does not stay in one place for long - can I share that fact about her current phase in life right now? :) |
 |
| Happy Father's Day to a dad willing to climb mountains (and stairs) for his children! |
 |
| A bench we spotted downtown around graduation and said we'd come back "in 20 years" and sit there together with our children. Can you believe that? In 20 years though, it had been very loved by apparently every single bird in Athens so....there was no sitting. |

 |
| The Student Center - Jeff used to get popcorn here for lunch I used to take a 30 minute nap here between classes. 20 years later - he's still eating popcorn and somehow I still manage to squeeze in a nap most days! Not much has changed in some ways! |
