Speaking of packing, I discovered my old journal and took a few minutes to flip through it...almost immediately there were tears in my eyes...because I was laughing so hard! OMG Was I ever really that young and stupid?! Apparently, I was. One great thing was seeing references to friends like Cassie, Becka, and Star, and realizing how long they've been in my life and all of the things that we've been through. Here's a reminder of what we were like back then...

P.S. Don't judge us, these photos were all taken over ten years ago...and yes, Star is wearing an Elmo shirt. (Actually, I also know for a fact that Cassie is wearing a Tweety Bird bathing suit in the pool photo, too bad that wasn't caught on camera)
