it's the most happiest time of the year

i've been checking on those reunion websites for a few years now hoping that i'd find a few old friends. today was the day!
i was notified that someone had looked at my profile. i checked it out with little hope that it would be someone i actually knew...but i was so wrong.


we moved to south lyon michigan during the summer of my 7th grade year. south lyon is a small town. all the kids knew each other. thankfully we moved into a house right next door to a girl who was my age. becky was tall and beautiful and athletic. she walked over and asked if i wanted to join cross-country with her. i thought it would be a great way to make friends so i went along with her. becky had a friend who lived down the road a bit and the three of us became as close as girls can be. tara was also beautiful and athletic...not sure how i fit into the mix, but tara, becky and i did everything together.
then tara moved to the next town. it was a sad day. we still saw one another at church but it just wasn't the same. becky got a boyfriend and well, we all know what happens to the girls when a new boy gets involved.

thanks to the internet i have now contacted both these lovely ladies. i'm really hoping to get together with them this christmas.
i'm also hoping to have my camera so i can document the occasion...if i'm lucky i'll be able to find a picture of the three of us in jr. high...that'd be something!
