Dorough Diaries: Reuniting with High School Friends

It's been eleven years since I graduated high school. Eleven years! I've started reuniting with old high school friends, and people I wasn't friends with in HS, through Facebook over the past two years. It's been fun to see my old friends with their husbands and kids... and to see how everyone has changed! This week has been a special week as I have been able to see four old HS girlfriends.

Monday, Macey and I went to Fayetteville to visit with the Cottons, Sandi and her four kiddos and Tiffany and her two little ones. Sandi, Tiffany and I were in the band together all four years of HS. (yep, I was in the band... I played the sax and I was actually pretty good... I wish I had kept it up. Maybe one day...) Sandi has one little girl (7 years old) and three little boys, the youngest is 10 months. She is an amazing mother. I'm thankful to have so many great mom's in my life but wish that I could spend more time with this one. I've never heard Sandi raise her voice and the girl has four kids! They are all very well mannered and are absolutely adorable. We have been emailing together for two years and I have loved reuniting with her. If only Albany were next door to Smyrna!

Kelly and Miss Molly

Today, Jo Ana and Kelly came to our house for a girls lunch. Jo Ana's new baby girl, Avery, is just two and a half months old and Kelly's baby girl, Molly, is 9 months old. These two girls and I were on the flag corps together (some of my post HS friends are learning a lot about me with this post!) and spent most of our senior year at each others houses. It's a bit surreal to have old best friends over with their babies. I'm so thankful to have reunited with these girls and am looking forward to many more playdates, dinners and lunches to catch up on the past eleven years.
