The Good Old Days

My friend Tasha just recently wrote on her blog about how her and I used to get up at 6 am to go to swimming practice. Yikes! I can't believe we were crazy enough to do that and that our moms were cool enough to take us and pick us up. Wow, as an adult you realize all the sacrifices that your parents would make for you when you were a kid, but at the time you are mostly oblivious. Thanks so much Mom! Her mom would always show up with these wonderful breakfast burritos that tasted SO amazing after a hard swim. Thanks Debbie!
I am so thankful though for those days and my friends that I used to hang out with and have fun with. We had such good times laughing until our sides hurt, or most likely I would pee my pants. Here's to the girls! I love you guys and hate that I am a world away from you, but always cherish the times we get to spend together. Oh and Vicki, I completely understand the bathroom story. It seems that just when I want to go to the bathroom one or both of my kids need me. Oh the life of a mother. But it seems that my mom never let on that she was stressed or needed a break. How did she do it?

Love you too Heather!! It seems like yesterday when we were all in high school, with no worries. But it is truly a blessing that we all remained friends, even worlds apart. That is what true friendship is all about because Christ has always remained in the center of it!

SO many memories. I pray my kids make friends like us. I am so thankful for our friendship. It seems i meet more people in my adult life that would have fit right in with us. Thanks for the shout out.
Love ya Vern
