Reunion

My best friend, Amanda came into town to visit me and help me through this difficult time in my life...what a true friend. Amanda and I met when we were 14 years old; it was the summer before our freshman year of high school. We have been through a lot together, both great and not so great, and have grown closer through the years...we are more sisters than friends. I'm so thankful for Amanda...I love you Manna Fanna!

Before Amanda had to leave sunny San Diego and return to freezing cold Canada (hahaha!!) we were able to meet up with Tara Bennett, one of our good friends from way back in the day. We ate fish tacos and updated each other on our lives. Time is such a crazy thing--it changes everything yet things don't really seem to change...does that make any sense?! Being together again, the three of us, it seemed as though it was just yesterday that we were toilet-papering houses and giggling about the boys we liked. But the reality is 20 years have passed by...now we're buying toilet paper in bulk from Costco for our own houses and the giggling has turned into the laughter necessary to deal with life's trials. It is always great to get together with old friends and to feel the emotions of youth again.
