Perfect weekend for a wedding

I spent most of the last few days with a few of my favorite people in the world -- my college roommates.

Since our university days we've all scattered a little so we don't see each other very often.  The nuptials of one member of our group seemed like an excellent reason to reunite.

Here are a few photos from our weekend together ...

There was an overturned semi on the interstate, which caused us to crawl and park on the interstate for about 45 minutes. Mandy decided to make friends with some bikers who had also stopped.

All of us (minus the bride).  From left, Kathleen, Julie, me, Kristi, Mandy, and Jenny.

A little Beaver train.  Get your minds out of the gutter -- it's a cheer from our college, where the mascot was a beaver.

All of the roommates ... even Nicole this time!

Welcoming Troy to the group ... I think.  Ha ha!

It was a great weekend together.  There was lots of reminiscing and catching up, Nicole was a beautiful bride, and the party was a ton of fun.  I hope we don't wait for another wedding for all of us to get together ... that might be a long wait since the four of us who aren't married are not in a big rush.
