I met Rebecca in one of my art history classes. The only other girl I really knew in my classes was Nicole so it was nice to kind of start to get to know other people. I believe that was an art class with Professor Johnson (Pro-Jo as Becca referred to him) having something to do with Roman art and architecture...I feel like that is wrong, but considering how often I didn't attend that class, I think I've gotten it close enough.
Anyway, Becca went to Italy after that semester, but then she came back and somehow we ended up being on the exact same track for graduation. We both graduated in December 2005 and took the same three courses our last semester. American Architecture with Prof. Hamilton, something I can't remember with Pro-Jo (architecture, maybe Italian?) and our Thesis course. Our American Arch. class was at 8AM - for those of you who truly know me, you know I do not function well before 10AM. I function, just not well. Getting up and into class was difficult for me and Becca always shared notes. Prof. Hamilton also understood our senioritis and we had both taken several classes from him so he was nice to us. He even let us opt out of writing one of the three papers required for the class and we both still got great grades.
So we studied together, we ate at the cougar eat several times a week, we lived at the Wilk. We both took turns going crazy from writing so much - our theses took quite the toll on our precious little nervous systems, but we alternated break downs in order to support one another. haha. and the entire time, Becca was planning a wedding to Reid! She was super girl! So we magically survived that semester and presented our theses and promptly put the world of art history behind us. We always talked about how we both loved art history but didn't love it enough to deal with graduate school. I was always glad not to be the only one who felt that way.
So now Becca is married to Reid and they live in Colorado Springs. They recently had their first daughter, Genna (who is so freakin' adorable) and I love hearing about how cute she is. They are always busy planning something new and always going interesting places so their blog is sure to be entertaining. I'm happy they finally jumped on the bandwagon!!
