Matt invited me to join mom @ the college for mom's weekend this year...I'm so glad I decided to go - even though it was hard to leave Marcus & the kids behind. Turk rented us a car for me to drive there and Jackie picked out a brand new Dodge Caravan, it was super nice. I was most impressed with the buttons that automatically opened/closed the side doors and the huge side windows that went down instead of just venting. Jackie & I had a good time talking, laughing, and crying on the drive about 5 hours each way there & back. She made great food to take over to Matt and his roommates & all the mom's for our weekend. She put cinnamon rolls in a pan before we left and they were giant by the time we made it to Pullman.
Matt & his roommates bbq'd burgers for dinner on Friday night, we had Jackie's famous potato salad too and the drinking games began. We played beer pong and surprisingly both Jackie & I were pretty good for our 1st time. We also played a game they called survivor and all the mom's & their sons were on a team together, long story short...my team lost and Jackie & I had to do lots of drinking. We left to the bar, can't remember what it was called but we danced for a few hours and I was impressed that Jackie danced the night away with all of us. I was so tired by the end of the night...I kicked my shoes off in the street as soon as we stepped outside the bar. We spend a beautiful Saturday afternoon watching the Cougar baseball team whoop up on Arizona. I was impatient to get back to Marcus & the kids on Sunday morning, especially b/c he had been home with an extra little one (Jeanette's - foster son, Christopher who's 2) and Marcus got the flu on Saturday night after Christopher left. Thanks for being a great host Matty - we love you! :)
