Thinking of You

I remember kindergarten and elementary school all the way through high school with you. I remember sleepovers and the scavenger hunt and trying to stay awake all night and not succeeding. I remember your bedroom done up 80s style and talking to you on the phone about boys and how your older brother never talked to us. I remember watching your mom cook in the kitchen and teaching you how to ride a horse. I remember church camp and your Mickey Mouse shirt. I remember you always happy but knowing there were other things going on inside that you never spoke to anyone about. I remember laughing with you in class and arguing about when to add the laundry detergent. I remember your first car and how you forgot the headlights and the Chinese firedrills and curfew. I remember agreeing with you when you told me your first boyfriend was playing mind games with you. I remember going to the same college and not speaking to each other for 6 years or longer - maybe we needed to figure out who we were without each other. I remember dreaming about you on a regular basis.

Dreams have a way of telling us who should be in our lives.

I remember your baby shower and your baby and your little boy and seeing our little boys play together.

If you didn't already know, I'm thinking of you.

Here's to Good Friends

I'm back from my trip and wanted to say thanks to my good friends who made the trip so meaningful. We had fun, we had long talks, we ate good food. I love you guys/gals.

Listen to "Where Everybody Knows your Name" the theme from Cheers, and you'll get the vibe I'm feeling.
