I thought it was funny as I looked back on our relationship. We started off as college roomies brought together by a mutual need......shared rent! We knew each other in passing as friends of friends, and as crazy as the circumstances were that brought us together (which is a story all unto itself, one of those college dramas involving ex-girlfriends and broken friendships) I count it a blessing that I walked away with a caring, goofy, neurotic, fun-loving best friend for life (I can only imagine her choice of words for me, she's a teacher, so she's alot more creative than I am.) Between our two lives, marriages, and families, we've seen each other through alot over the past 10 years (its been a decade, really???). Time and distance hasn't diminished our friendship, it has however limited our visitations. Unfortunately, of recent years, visits were only prompted by child birth, funerals, baby showers, and milestone birthdays. But that's ok, I like to think of it as we never forget the big stuff. That's why this visit was so exciting! This was the first visit in a very long time that it was for "Just Because!" We all had a great time and the weekend flew by entirely to fast. It was icing on the cake that Mississippi State beat the University of Houston! Here's a few pictures from the visit.

The Neals Visit
We were very excited to have the Neals come for a visit. I could say it was for the families to get together, or for the kids to get to play, but that would be a lie. All that stuff is just a bonus, really it was all about a visit for the girls (meaning the big girls, Jodi and Kawanda, not the little ones). Don't get me wrong, everyone had a great time, but I was very excited to see my best friend.
