As the title says, Eric and I went back to our alma mater, Washburn University, on Saturday. Eric played football in college so we went to watch the football team's senior day. I didn't exactly love Topeka when we lived there, but it isn't the worst place for someone to live. I have so many amazing memories there. I feel like Topeka is where I finally felt free, confident, and comfortable. I don't want to move back, but I've had to go back a few times since we moved since Max's vet is there. I've driven around to a few sentimental places each time. When I enrolled in Washburn, I had no intention of finding someone new to date, etc., but things did work out rather well. Now I think it's so much fun that Eric and I graduated from the same university. It makes going back just a little better :) The football team unfortunately lost to Emporia State, a huge rival, so Eric was kind of upset while watching the game. We hung out in Topeka all night, and ended up sleeping there because we had too much "fun", haha. I really did enjoy being back on campus! On our drive back this morning we stopped by Perkins and got blueberry muffins-those things are HEAVEN. Also, while leaving town, we drove past a newly established Panda Express, right down the street from where we lived. Argh! I love that place. Thankfully I'm surrounded by them now, but I had to laugh at the irony of it!
