Friends!

Upon arriving at Calvin College in the fall of 1998, I have clear memories for meeting my roommate as well as many of the other girls assigned to live on Third Timmer.  What I never would have imagined is that  some of those same girls are still some of my dear friends!  Today was a very special day as two of those girls from the Third Timmer days came over for lunch - Emily (the roommate) and Sarah (the girl across the hall).  While we haven't changed all that much, our lives certainly have!  We are all moms now, and therefore the topic of conversation today revolved around kids, parenting, being married, and all those good kind of things!  Far from what we chatted about way back in '98!  And since all of our friends from college are scattered throughout the country, to have three of us in the same location for three hours was pretty special!  It was great to catch up, meet the newest additions, and just hang out like old times!  One of these days we will all get together for a reunion, but until that happens, I am grateful to see the old friends I can when the opportunity arises!

Me, Sarah, and Emily
