The Crazy Twist of Life

When I was in elementary and middle school I had 3 best friends. Laura, Karlie, and Alison.

We were tight. Everyday after school we hung out and had so much fun. We fought constantly and there was always some sort of civil war going on between two of us, but we always seemed to work it out.

Flash to 10 years later.

Laura – I just got a Facebook invite from her announcing:

“Laura’s 2008 Cross Continental Summer Road Trip. Because why should I limit myself to only hooking up with people in Seattle?”

So that’s pretty dam funny.  She seems to spend A LOT of her time traveling and thinking up crazy cool things to do.

Karlie – She graduated from WSU and now works at a hospital. Pretty standard, but she is dating a 36 year old (!!). He’s great but its just interesting.

Alison – She has a son that’s like two or three years old and lives at home in the house we used to have slumber parties at.

Me – Working working working. BUT finally doing something fun with my life in 4 months.

Its crazy to think how people start in life and how differently they end up. I always wonder if we ever got together again if we would have anything in common anymore. If we would be able to get back to that pure innocent friendship we used to have and just laugh with each other again.  Or does the fact that we knew each other before we were who we are make it impossible to ever relate to each other as we once did?
