5 years and counting…

This weekend we celebrated John’s 5th year Citadel reunion in Charleston- crazy, huh?  It’s neat to visit with him and hear him proudly explain each part of campus and to see where he spent 4 trying years of his life.  Not only was it his reunion weekend, it was also Veterans Day and our first time back since he proposed.  8 months to the day to be exact! 

We started the weekend with my first “parade” experience.  {Embarrassingly enough I must admit I asked John on the way down if there would be floats at the parade. He got a BIG laugh out of that.}We later met friends out at Wasabi for sushi and drinks! Saturday, we were up bright and early {well some of us} for the Citadel football game!  The McQueeneys were sweet enough to let us crash their tailgate and invited us to watch the game from their box too!    John opted out of marching onto the field with his class- a tradition for your 5th, 10th, 15th…you get the point. The favorite part of my day?  The peanut man!  If you’ve never seen him, you're missing out.  He caught my attention with his peanut rap.   The ‘Dogs weren’t able to pull out a win but we had a great time nonetheless.  We made our tailgating rounds and ended our night at Rue De Jean for some sushi, pasta and wine!  

We are already looking forward to John’s 10th- he has even promised to march with his class this time too!

This weekend The Citadel heads to Columbia to take on the ‘Cocks.  A house divided indeed!
