Actually, there was a pool in Duquesne Towers! I'm serious!

I only know this because one of my committee members was bummed it was closed when she could have used it.

I heard there was practically a pool in some of those showers when the water didn't go down the drains properly...

Was that because of the roaches blocking them?

Ok, we gotta get past the accommodations for VLC. I must say, my college dorms were a little more primitive and I wasn't all that surprised. Thankfully I was able to move into the House my senior year and escaped!

Now...yes, I'll be at Convention with bells on!

As for family, we have been trying to figure out a good post-5th-grade vacation for our oldest, and we agree that an historical tour of San Antonio sounds grand! Hubby will fly out with the children as we wind down Convention and we'll hang out for a few days afterward. That's the plan as of now.

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to bring my young man along due to the bar exam, but I think we're in the clear. I hope he enjoys San Antonio for a graduation trip because that's what he is getting.

I am so proud of him for not even thinking twice about going, of course he is also meeting my whole extended family next weekend so he's either really brave, or takes a a lot of Valium when I am not looking.

Did anyone else stumble over the phase "my young man"??? I did... I thought it was a son not a Potential Hubby (we can shorten that to PH... like PNM). Any guy who is meeting the whole EXTENDED family is a PH in my book!

I'm going so hubby better come or I'll go without him.

GtownGirl98 · #9 07-27-2007, 08:02 PM

Well you all know that my hubby will be there... maybe if there is enough IHQ will organize something just for them!

I think the term boyfriend is kind of goofy at our age, so I call him that, but I guess significant other works as well. He also has no qualms about changing my one year old nephew's dirty diapers, or carrying him around in a baby Bjorn or back pack so I'm pretty sure I'm keeping him. The question is will he want to keep me after meeting the WHOLE family next weekend? He's even staying in a hotel suite with my sister and my infant nephew, what a trooper.

To soften the blow we're going camping and rafting Sunday/Monday, and we're going to the Full Sail Brewery enroute to the family reunion next Friday. If he can make it through recruitment I'm buying him something nice. He volunteered to bring me Starbucks at the chapter house, so I hope he likes clapping and singing.

OHHHH HE IS A KEEPER... diapers and chants... what a guy!!!

So is it time to start a Convention 2010 thread?
