Meet my friend Katie. We met back in 1987 when we were in Jr. High and quickly became best friends. I love that I just used the words best friends, Jr. High and the 80's all in one sentence. They go together, don't they? We had so much fun together. I remember stretching out our Walkman earphones so we could both have an earpiece to "sneak-listen" to Richard Marx. Sorry, Mom.

She's in Oregon this week so we've been able to catch up after all these years. I vacationed here with her family 21 years ago--we can hardly believe it's been that long. We decided to go to the mall today, because that's what old friends from Jr. High do.

When my girls and I drove out to pick her up this morning, they asked me all kinds of questions about Miss Katie. I told them that we used to save up our babysitting money so we could go to the mall to buy clothes, and that one year for my birthday she gave me Salon Selectives shampoo, conditioner, mousse and hairspray because I loved how it smelled like apples.

It's so fun to meet up with someone from your past--someone with whom you can just pick up where you left off, no matter how long it's been.

All is forgiven in the music dept. However...let's just delve into the outfits you two wore and the feathered bangs and so on and so on...

I ditto that Nancy....goodness looking back that was the least of our worries wasn't it!!!
They were so adorable together. They forgot to mention the ice skating they LOVED to watch together and much more. I am so thankful they are able to spend some time together after so many years. Two beautiful women inside and out with the most adorable children we are blessed Nana:-).
