Reunited

So, after not seeing each other for fifteen years, my old best friend (from K-8th grade) and I are seeing each other tomorrow for a play date with our kids! We reconnected via Facebook a few months ago (and a few years ago through email, but lost touch again after we both got married).

Tatum and I were inseparable for 8 years. Then she went to the private high school in our town while I went to the public. We had every intention of keeping in touch, we hung out for two years while going to different schools, but only once every few months... Then after Sophomore year in high school I think it just got too busy and her parents moved across town... So, I think age 15 was the last time we saw each other.

There are funny things that we still have in common though. We both chopped our hair after having kids. We both had our first baby around the same time (just three months apart). Our baby's although one is a girl and one is a boy are both nicknamed Maddie (her's is Matty)... and they both call our dads "bumpa"...
I'm sure there is more, but we'll find out after tomorrow.

We originally were going to meet up at an outdoor craft/art fair tomorrow, but now due to the rain, we're going to go to the Providence Children's Museum and then lunch.

I'd be lying if I said I was nervous. I certainly am. I'm worried Maddie will break down and be miserable... I'm nervous we wont have anything to talk about... I'm nervous she's in a much better place in life than I am and that will show (she has the house and is expecting baby #2...)

But I'm also excited. I'm excited to try to catch up on the past 15 years, to hear about her family, her husband, her parents that I once was so close to.

I'll be sure to write about it on Monday...
