I have this friend.
I talk to her ALL the time.
I have known her since we were in the 3rd grade.
She's my longest friend.
You know, usually, when a friend moves away as a kid, you lose contact with them.
Not us.
We talked when we could, wrote a million and one letters,
and visited each other whenever we could.
We even have a song. Yeah, I know, sappy!
I still get teary eyed when I hear it.
It's "How Can I Help You To Understand." It was really popular when I had moved away. And in the first few lines, it talks about a little girl who was moving away from her best friend.
(Sniff, sniff...ok, I'm good.)
I was her maid of honor in her wedding, and she was my maid of honor in
Neil's and my wedding.
I went to the hospital when her husband called to tell me she had her daughter.
She was one of the very first people who knew I was pregnant before our families knew.
We have laughed a ton, and cried a ton.
Now, we don't see each other much. Maybe once every few years.
But we talk almost daily.
And for hours.
I was talking to her, for maybe the 3rd time today, and she was playing on her computer. She told me I really needed to add to my blog. She said, "How will I know what's going on with you??" Ummm....I don't know, maybe the HOURS we talk on the phone DAILY!!!
Anyway, so, that's why I have sat down to the computer today, to add to my blog.
It was for you Rhonda!
I tried to find this picture that I love of us. It's one of the times you came to see me in Dumas. You were about to leave, and Mom wanted to get a pic of us, so you sat on our bench outside and I sat on your lap. But I couldn't find that one. But..................we all know I don't like to blog without pictures, so without further ado....

This is my friend Rhonda! This couldn't have been long after we met.
And here we are at my wedding.
This is probably the last picture I have of us.
It might be time to schedule another photo shoot!
Anyway, I just wanted to say "HI! Rhonda! and I love ya!"
Please don't hate me!!!!!!!!!! ;)
