Re-Connected

It is the coolest thing to be able to reconnect with an old friend after so long. My dear friend, Linda, recently reached out to find me and see where I was in life. Oddly enough, I had been trying to find her as well, but wasn't having a whole lot of luck. Knowing that it would be easiest to locate me through my dad, she sent a letter there and of course, it was sent along to me. After a good ten years of not seeing each other or speaking, we have found each other again.

I can't tell you how great it has been to talk to her and to catch up. You don't realize how much life has gone by until you figure out where you left off with someone. So much has happened to both of us and it seems like we may never be fully up to speed, but I'm sure it will just take some time.

Off we went on Saturday to GR for a nice shopping trip - just her and I. No kids!! Jason, God love the man, stayed at home and entertained our girls and Linda's little sweetie. It was perfect. Emma had a playmate. Olivia had someone new to stalk.

I so enjoyed the adult company and conversation. We talked about everything and anything. Caught up on some things. Reminisced about times together. Laughed. A lot. We rejoined the troops for pizza and some Wii before they headed home.

I look forward to many more fun times to be had. Linda and I have shared a lot over the years. I only hope we can continue to share more in the years ahead. She is the kind of friend that you have forever. Even if you lose touch for a little while, it's like coming home.
