...college seems like, well, yesterday, so it seems weird to call them old friends. But the reality is that it was fourteen and a half (holy *&$#) years ago that I walked into my freshman dorm room and came face-to-face with Sharon. And it was fourteen and a half years ago that we started playing pickup basketball with that other girl on our hall, Molly. And it was fourteen and a half years ago that we befriended that funny girl Meckenzie down the hallway. And it was just a year or two later when Edra became a part of our group.
Our conversations have evolved, as have our friendships. college-->boys-->booze-->missing home-->how the heck do you do laundry?-->sororities-->spring breaks-->internships-->turning 21-->job hunts-->first real successes-->first real failures-->I have to pay rent?-->turning 25-->wedding registries-->first homes-->bridesmaid dresses-->honeymoons-->paint colors-->husbands-->turning 30-->wanting babies, having babies, losing babies-->breastfeeding-->bottles not filled with beer-->sleepless nights.
We have lived across the country and the world - San Diego, Oklahoma, Boston, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Africa, Atlanta, Baltimore. And I have no doubt that I will always, always, always count these girls as some of my very dearest.
What a lovely post. I am so glad you all were able to get together last week.
I remember like it was yesterday, walking into that dorm room and seeing Sharon for the first time. I thought it was you, you looked so much alike!
Hello, girls. You will always be sweet young girls to me!
