Freshmen Friends

It's hard to believe I'm a senior now. It seems like just yesterday I was packing up our van for my trip down to BJ. I brought every single material possession I owned you would have thought I was moving into a house. I remember getting there and finding my dorm room and being thrilled! So thrilled in fact that I gave up staying with my parents at the hotel (with a pool) to stay in my dorm room all by myself. I'm such a nerd. I had the best roommates--Christie and Terase. They were so patient with me. I am ashamed to say that I was the typical out-of-control, crazy, giddy, hyper, freshman girl. I wish I wasn't but what can I say--it was a growing experience. All that to say that I got an unexpected email from a dear friend of mine. My best friend freshman year, Aimee, randomly sent me pictures today of her. It was so good to hear from her. We had so much fun and made so many memories from saturday lunches, bad blind dates, homestar videos, getting ready for artist series, assigned seats in the library, practicing speeches, spiritual encouragement, walmart stories, to crying in the hallway the night before commencement because we didn't know when we'd see each other again. Oh, I miss Aimee so much! This May it's been 2 years since I've seen her sweet, smiley face and the crazy thing is that it feels like just yesterday I was hugging her goodbye. Where does the time go!? I love you Aimee! Thanks for the pictures! They were a definite encouragement!
