February 7

After carefully scanning the RSVP list for tonight's senior class parent mixer, I decided I'd attend. These are two of the people whose names I spied who made the decision an easy one.

I've known both Jacqui and Kim for quite a long while now; their kids went all the way through elementary, middle, and high school with Abby. In fact, Kim's daughter Bridget was Abby's best friend for a few of those elementary school years.

Anyway, it was a blessing to be able to sit and catch up, if only for a relatively short while, because it'd been quite a long time since I'd seen them in person. So this evening, I am grateful for opportunities to reconnect with friends.
