10(plus) Years Later

Last Saturday I had a message on my phone from a girlfriend from high school, whom I hadn't really seen or spoken to since we graduated, telling me she tracked down my dad, got my number, was in town for a conference, and asked if I wanted to meet for lunch on Sunday?!

Then my next message was from my dad saying that Cori just called him, asked for my number, said that she was in town for a conference and wanted to get together for lunch, and that if I see a weird number on my phone, I should answer it, because it is probably her! HA! Thanks dad!

We played phone tag throughout the day, finally resulting in the great power of text messaging and arranged our plans for Sunday, where we met at The Keg for a wonderful lunch (even Lola was wonderful sitting for about 2 1/2 hours) and great conversation! It was so nice to see Cori and hear all about life after high school! I had no idea what she has been up to, so it was really neat to hang with her! I think we could have talked for several more hours, but she had business to attend to and I had Lola who kept begging to have me take her shopping (she kinda says "shopping" with this little British accent, it is to-die-for)!

Needless to say, I do not plan to let another 10+ years go by, we exchanged emails/phone numbers/business cards (which reminds me...I need to order more)! I had a great lunch Cori, thank you for tracking me down!

How cool is that!?! Sounds like you guys had a great time. Both you and Lola look so pretty!!
Lola has the coolest clothes, and I am sad to say Jayla can no longer get the hand-me-downs.
