Recently, Hubby has been going capturing old videos and transferring them to DVD's. We've had so much fun watching them; laughing as we remember things long forgotten. It's been fun to show our children what they were like when they were babies; the obvious love we had for them as newborns.
Yesterday, hubby came across some pictures of our dear friends from 1993! I just have to share this one and tell the story behind it!
This is my sweet friend. She ALWAYS makes me laughs. Someone once asked me to describe her, and my reply was, "She's the type that when she walks into a room, you automatically smile." We've been friends for over 17 years. We met when our husbands were working at an office supply store together. Turns out we were all the same age (give or take a few months) and we went to the same church. So, one weekend, the husbands decided the wives should meet. I was six months pregnant with the Talented One at the time. I'll never forget walking into their superbly clean, white apartment. The men introduced us, then walked into another room to do something with computers and left us standing there alone.
And we've been talking ever since!
The above picture was taken several months later, on an outing we took right after the Talented One was born. But the story to the outfit she was wearing brings back forever memories.
You see, we'd decided to go on a camping trip for Labor Day weekend. We waited and waited for them, and finally drove over to their apartment to meet them and hurry her up. When I walked into her bedroom, she was standing there, IRONING her cute little green outfit with white polka dots. To go camping. In the woods.
In her defense, she'd never been camping before; and I don't believe she's ever gone camping since.
I still laugh today at that outfit!
We had so much fun on that trip! She also took with her WHITE sweats. I'd have to say my fondest memory was sitting on the rocks, peeling potatoes.
And of our strapping young husbands, taking a bath in the freezing creek. And having the Good Looking One, six at the time, join them.
We've come a long way from "The Princess Bride" every Friday night at our house. We haven't made home made pizza in ages. They have three children now that keep them busy and her husband is gone much of the time, flying people here and there. We've a houseful of kids ourselves now!
But we are still there when it's important. We still make each other laugh. And we still have those memories.
