Memories.......like the corners of my mind.

The weekend has finally arrived!  Stephanie comes to visit. Hooray! I haven't seen her in a year, and I cannot wait. This is the girl that I rarely go a day without speaking to..... and when we don't actually speak, there will be a multitude of emails and texts. I've known her since I was 18, and there is probably very little about me that she does not know.  I anticipate lots of fun during her visit......only one girl will be missing :(

The third amiga will definitely be missed.  We always have so much fun when we all get together.  I don't know why we don't do it more often.  In fact, I miss the days of running around Hendrix with these girls, and those guys that we spent our days goofing off with... Tom, John, Colin, Mitch, Jonathan.......  The ten year reunion a couple of years ago was a lot of fun, and I am so thankful that we were able to get to spend time together, but we really should figure out a way to do this more often.

Every fall I feel a bit sad that my time at Hendrix came and went so quickly.  I miss packing up and heading to the dorm.  I  miss listening to the Indigo Girls too loudly, playing quarters with the rule that you must name a Pearl Jam song, and many trips to Windy City Pizza. I miss the fun of being back together after a summer apart..... and I'm so thankful for all of the wonderful memories I have from those years.  

If I had to pick a song that most fits this period of my life, it would most certainly be "These Are Days" by 10,000 Maniacs.  I cannot listen to that song without thinking of the many shenanigans that we got into during our years in Conway.
