Friends for 20 years!

My friend, Michelle Holcombe, from good old college days came to visit me. She has not been able to take off for a while, she is in the middle of raising 3 kids, but now, they are a little older so she got to come hang with her possee!

We met in 1988. She was an ambitious Intramural Quarterback. I, the suspicious and somewhat jealous girl that was very intimidated by this girl that could seem to do everything I could, only better.

What would happen? Would they be friends? Would they be enemies? Would they ever get their bangs grown out? The answers to these questions are yes, no and NO (even 20 years later!)

We had a great time. We ate, shopped, relaxed, watched movies, played with Hadley, and had late night snacks. Not too many of those, though, your figure can handle that at 18, at 38 it's a little different! Baked Lays and Perrier don't compare to Donuts and Choc Milk!

We talked about everything from our families, our husbands, our pets and then we got to rewind. I reminded her, "Be kind if you rewind" as she knows who I had a crush on... that I don't want to remember! Why is her memory so good? Of course, I had a great time reminding her of a few beaus as well. It's nice to be with people that knew you "way back when". Before you were a "Mrs." and before you had a serious career. Way back when a hectic day meant choosing how to squeeze in time to go to Young Life and make the Intramural Championship Football Game. If you are wondering, I never did get to be quarterback!

Thanks for coming Michelle and thanks for wanting the best for me. You are a true friend!
