Number 10 of Project 2011 was put into place yesterday. My boarding school and college roommate called during work yesterday and said she's coming into town and wanted to meet me for dinner. Hooray! We went to dinner with another friend and commented that we've known each other since we were 16! The other friend said that we've known each other for literally half of our lives. When you put it that way, it's kinda crazy! First of all, since when did we become old enough for 16 to be half of our age, and two, for a kid who moved around so much growing up, it's amazing I've known someone for that long and can still hang out with her and have a great time! Conveniently she also lives on one of my travel routes so I get to see her more often than I have in the past.
Even though I got home really late last night, I realized it's more important to spend time with old friends once in awhile. I went to her wedding a year ago, and she came to mine just three months ago. We compared stories of married life and honeymoons and all sorts of girlie stuff like that. Our conversations have come a long way since the high school nonsense we stayed up late at night to whisper about in the dark. But our old girliness still comes out when we're together and it's almost like we're 16 again... despite the under-eye wrinkles we kept pointing out on our faces.
