Oh what a gift childhood friends are!! Over the Christmas Holidays I got to visit with my best friend Sally. She and I have been friends for nearly our entire lives. It all started back in first grade, in I believe Mrs. Woods class, but that doesn't matter. She is one of the best friends a girl could ever ask for. She is one of those friends you could be separated from for years and when you see each other again you just pick right up like you haven't missed a beat. Unfortunately, Sally has decided that living out West is where her heart is, so we rarely get to see each other, but when we do, the memories come flooding back. She is currently in Physicians Assistant School in Portland, OR. She will be finished in August and I was hoping I might be able to convince her into moving back this way, but I think I might as well hang that up. She is quite the adventuresome type. She climbs mountains, repels, hikes, camps, snow and water skis, swims, bikes, yoga's and anything else you can think of. I am so proud of her and all that she has accomplished in her life and little envious of her "free spirit" or traveling heart. She knows I miss her terribly and wish we could live closer together, but for now we will have to live for the next visit and pick right up where we left off.
