Reconnecting!

After I graduated from High School I was one of those people who ties to "hang on" to everything. My first year of college I 'hung out" at my old high school a lot and helped on with some school plays and choir events. Eventually though I started to make some big mistakes and realized that it was time to let go of the past and begin to live in the present. In doing so I completely cut myself off from everything High School related. Years later I realized that there were friends I was so sad to have left behind. I'm happy to say that tonight I had the opportunity to reconnect with some of those people I lost touch with so many years ago. I believe that sometimes we are meant to be in a certain place at a certain time because if we hadn't have moved where and when we did none of it would have been possible. At church a few weeks ago I noticed someone who I went to church with during High School and we got to talking and it turned out that her daughter whom I went to High School with is getting married. When she told Lisa she saw me Lisa was so excited she asked her mom to get my address. Next thing I know I get an invitation to her bridal shower. I was thrilled that she would remember me and think to invite me. So I went to the shower tonight I had such a great time. There were so many people there I knew way back when. We were able to catch up, share pictures of all of kids, and plan a time for all us to get together. I have been given a second chance...hopefully I'll be much better at staying connected this time around!

That sounds so fun. I am so glad that you are meeting people to hang out with and have fun. I wish I could be there to have fun with you too though!

Trust me I wish you were here too! I miss you so much...life just isn't the same without my Erika to hang out with. Derrick also misses Dave and Melody really misses the girls (she's just not fully aware of it yet). Actually we all miss the girls and can't wait till we get to meet baby Jacob! Hugs to you all!
