A Reunion

On Thursday I got to see some friends of mine. To say we go way back might be a bit dramatic, but well it feels like it, and we aren't that old yet... 13 years ago I was just starting out my college career. I had signed up to live in an apartment but didn't have any idea who I would be living with. Fate threw me together with some of the greatest girls ever. I actually had 6 roommates for my first semester. Since those days 13 years ago, I have kept in touch with some of them on and off. A few weeks ago, I was chatting with one who mentioned she would be in town this weekend. She lives in Arizona, and I haven't seen her in at lest 3 years. So I knew I had to get thinking and plan something. Thanks to facebook, I found most of my first year roommates, and sent out an invitation. We got together on Thursday. It's magic how the clock turned back, and it seemed liked we had just left each other a few months ago. We've married had children and earned more than a few extra wrinkles, but we also have some amazing memories. I was so blessed to know them in college and I still feel that way. We were missing three others who live too far to come, but for a few hours I was able to feel "like a kid again." So many good and hard things we went through together that helped make us who we are. Thanks girls, for everything.

Wrinkles?! What wrinkles?! Am I just in denial? Has it really been 13 years? We had a great time.
