Last week we organized a meet up of a bunch of friends from high school, not everybody could make it-but those that did had a really great time. It's hard to describe high school friends, as you leave high school and move out into the "real" world you in a sense move on from those friends. You acquire friendships based on where you are at in that point of your life: single and living it up, married w/ out kids, or married w/ children. What you don't realize is that you never really move on from those friends; it is actually one of the few constants in your life-you know that those friends you had way back when-are exactly the same as you remember them, and the only thing you have to talk about are all those careless but wonderful things you did as a teenager going into adulthood. For a few short hours you let go of the worries of today, and just remember a "simpler" time and enjoy each other's company. And realize that while we all change, our circumstances change, outlooks change, we are essentially the same person we've always been deep down.
Just including the girls above, we have 17 children and are expecting 2 more-it's crazy to think how all our lives have changed in just 10 short years!
