Oh Facebook, the memories you bring back!
I’ve been on Facebook for awhile, but when I first joined I couldn’t find any of my old classmates. Eventually I found my best friend from high school, but everyone else that I’ve befriended has been someone I know currently.
Until this week. All of a sudden, I’ve found tons of old friends. And seen lots of pictures from “back in the day”.
It’s so crazy to think about. It was 15 years ago! Yet, I have memories that seem like just yesterday. Some say they don’t want to relive the high school years, but it seems that my memory has blocked out all the bad things and left only the good memories. Sure, I was a dork and a nerd, but I had fun.
I pulled out my old pictures today and in every single one I’m got the biggest goofiest grin on my face. So, it must not have been that bad. I look back on these pictures and wonder what I was thinking with the big hair and the stretch pants and pegged jeans!
But mostly, I remember the great bonds that I had with people. And the fun we had. I kindof separated myself from the world right after graduation. It was a rough time for me and then I moved to Arizona. So, I just fell out of touch with a lot of people I was close to.
Now, 15 years later we’re catching up. Some have moved away, some still live in the town we graduated from. Some are married with kids, others not. It’s fun to see what careers people have ended up with. I’m pretty sure none of them expected me to be working for a judge! And I’m pretty sure most of then didn’t expect me to have four children! I think I’m in the lead in that area!
Mostly, I’m just really grateful to have these people back in my life again. They made such an impression on me such a long time ago and it’s great to be able to talk to them now too!
PS. I promise to scan some of the pictures and show them to you!
Wow, that's weird- I was looking at old pics today and even posted a few on Facebook! Would love to see yours!! :-D

Facebook is totally taking over the world. Why can't I invent something like that? The guy or gal who invented it must loaded, don't you think?

I haven't found many high school friends on Facebook yet...maybe it's because we're all too freaking old for technology? Hope not.
Soon to be 40,
Deb
