Goober says he found a friend at school today.... I hope that friend will last as long as this one has for me :)The is Erika, I've known her for like... a billion years... or in other words, since 2nd grade. While we spent the 2nd and 3rd grades in the same school, after that we had completely different paths though somehow managed to stay friends. And boy has that been a godsend! It's so nice when you know you have a friend that likes you for YOU, not for your friends or your clothes or your social status. In high school when my friends were being a bit challenged I would always pick up the phone and call Erika... and we would talk for hours.
In college we were roommates for a fantastic summer semester before we once again split schools. And ever since we have been Email and IM buddies because long distance phone bills can be a real booger, especially when one of you lives in Italy for a few years. :)
Well, she has been spending a little time in town due to her husband being in training and her house in TX being up for sale... so today she stopped by for a visit!
It's always so nice to talk to someone you know won't think your a nutcase or "one of THOSE parents". I think she and her girls stayed for about three hours, but man, it felt more like 20 minutes! Time flies when you enjoy the company! The kids enjoyed playing with each other, the babies took naps, and we "adults" tried to avoid any major kid mishaps.
I'm so glad she was able to come by....even if she did break her toe to avoid going walking with me! j/k

ERIKA!! How awesome you guys were able to see eachother!
How fun! I never made super good friends with people until I moved here and moved in next to Nat. :) I can't imagine what life would be like without her.
Aww, look at Erika, all pretty and happy. I'm so glad that you two were able to spend some time together, it sounds like you had a nice time!
How fun! It's so nice to be able to catch up with life-long friends. I don't know if I ever met her, but I know her hubby, and he was really nice in HS.
Awww April! Darn you, you made me get all teary eyed! We had such a great time at your house (both times) and it's always so great to see you! I am SUPER jealous of your carpet, though. You have great carpet in that house! Oh, and next time I see you we are going to take a NEW pic. One where I look relatively un-gross. :)
That is so great. I love it when old friends stop by. I wish I could go to SLC and visit a few of them. They're all down there!
