One more Texas Post

While in Waco, we stopped by our former home, Baylor University.  We have nothing but fond memories of this wonderful place and miss the people and places that make it special.
Brooks Hall was a residence hall where Larry worked and where he and I had our first date.  It was a special place to us and there are many special friendships connected to the original Brooks Hall.  Brooks Hall was demolished to make way for a new complex- one residence of which was our home for the last two years of our life at Baylor.  It is such a special place to us that we named our firstborn- Brooks. Brooks Residential College was our baby boy's first home and we have LOTS of great memories of this home.
We took our Brooks to Brooks (:)) and walked around.  Brooks (the boy) was so enamored by seeing his name everywhere- exclaiming "i'ts me! it's B-R-O-O-K-S- it's my name!"
Here are some of the best pictures:
 This was our front door at Brook's College.
