Cheeeetah Reunion

Once upon a time, I was in an amazing Social Work class where the professor actually wanted us to learn instead of just regurgitate information. She started by assigning us to a group our very first class period. Every week thereafter, we met with our group for the first 15-20 minutes of each class period and answered intriguing questions as well as caught up with each others lives. Well, I just so happened to get the BEST group ever and we all became great friends. MaryAnn, our professor, asked each group to come up with a name. Well, let me just tell you, I am pretty sure our group was the only group to actually come up with a name, but not only did we name ourselves the CHEETAHS, we became the Cheetahs! We took that name to the next level. Now, a year later, we are all still Cheetahs at heart. I was able to meet up with the girls for a reunion lunch today and for them to meet the baby Cheetah, Hallie.

First things first, the girls brought this ADORABLE coat for Hallie! Its a 12 month, but hey, how could they resist such cute Cheetah print? Hallie loves it, as you can see.


Cassie (also known as Cathie or Cathy) and Amy with Hallie. I recruited Amy to work at Vantage Point, where she couldn't be happier.


Jessica, Jaime, and me. Jessica is actually now in my ward and I couldn't be more excited! I knew Jaime long before the Cheetah times...we both went to Ecuador (not at the same time, but that still means she is special.)


The whole crowd of us. I am sure the people at Sammy's loved us cause we were there for a long time and we were LOUD. Oh well...:) Another thing that makes all of these girls special is that they have obviously all chosen the same career path as me: social work. They are all still in the program and listening to their stories kind of made me jealous and wishing I was back in school...(re-iterate that kind of). Thanks for the great lunch ladies and the Cheetah coat! You know it will be a staple in Hallie's wardrobe as soon as she can fit into it!!
