Omaha Trip

The reason for my trip:
Melissa & Matthew

Melissa was a good friend of mine in High School. I have fond memories of sleepovers and shenanigans in Spanish class. I have no idea why we took 3rd year Spanish, but when we realized we had no idea what the Senora was saying, we decided to pass notes in English instead. Melissa had kept one of my notes all these years and could recite it almost word for word. Apparently I had written her a poem in light of some guy drama at the time. I don’t recall it all, but the last two lines went something like “One day you’ll find one of a kind; until then, forget about men.” Was I really that cheesy? However, I have to admit it turned out to be pretty profound prose.

My bestest childhood friend, Erin.

Erin and I go way back to the 3rd grade. Like most childhood friends, we drifted apart in High School, but we were both thrilled to reconnect after nearly 10 years. I caught up with her just in time to attend her wedding last Sept. Her Mom lives nearby in New Jersey and I had the chance to meet her for lunch this past Thursday. She was like a second Mom to me back then, so it was so good to see her again. Erin also attended the wedding and we were able to catch up on life and enjoy time away from our busy lives.

Even more friends from H.S days. We got manicures and pedicures for the big day.

My camera broke when we were getting our hair done (drink exploded in purse) so I’m waiting for pictures from the wedding/recpetion to be sent to me so I can post them.
