We last saw each other when I went out to visit her 3 years ago and got to meet her son Owen for the first time. This time I get to meet his 5 month old brother Emmit. I also get to see her new house, visit with her mom and brothers, and go back to my home town (which I haven't lived in since 1989).
Betsy and I have been friends since we were 14 years old; we were inseparable all through high school. Oh how I wish I had detailed journals from back then! We spent almost all of our time together, and used to laugh and laugh. We also watched thirtysomething, baked cookies, studied, went shopping, worked at TCBY together, cheerleaded, ran track, had constant sleepovers, and used a lot of hairspray. Good times!
Nobody makes me laugh quite the way she does, and it's really amazing that we have lived away from each other for almost 20 years but are still close friends. It's such a blessing to be close to someone who knew me when I was young, cute, optimistic and thin!

It seems weird that you haven't seen Betsy for three years! How fun it will be to see her new little boy and her new home! And Owen will be so very changed. I hope it's a wonderful trip.

love the 80's hair! have fun!
You gotta love 80's tafetta prom dresses and their poufy sleeves, complimented by 80's poufy hair! How funny that now we all want sleek, straight hair.
Have a great time! I have no doubt that you will, but wonder how I will manage until next week without your (almost) daily thoughts. IB: Have pity on us and post!

By the way, I love all the pictures of you and your friend. They are so cute.

I can't wait to see a picture of the little one....what a cute name.
also wow how nice to be flow in....today we took my little brother to the airport and jorvik was adamant that we take a plane ride too.
No internet access there, eh?
I'm going to take issue with your "best self" label here. I think your self is better now than it was 20 years ago!
They're beautiful, I must say. Faye
Have fun on your vacation!
You so deserve to have the best time, because of all the hard work you do back home.
I can wait to hear all about your trip and see the gorgeous pictures that you always take.
