Crystal and I have been friends for as long as I can remember. Her mom and my mom were friends in high school and we grew up together. Even though we never went to the same school and often lived far away, family get togethers were always so much fun. I remember that her house was the first place I watched MTV and saw a Madonna video. I remember sliding down her carpet-covered stairs (ours were hardwood). I remember watching her dad make stained glass windows in the garage. We got in trouble once for painting in the bathroom. No one would ever have known if I hadn’t gotten in on my nose.

These days, Crystal lives in Auburn with her sweet family and I still live in the same little town. We keep in touch with blogs and Facebook, but finally decided it was time to get together. She brought her littles to the pool last month and we ate way too much food, laughed way too loud and played way too hard. Aren’t her children adorable? Thanks, guys, for coming up and spending the day. Let’s not wait fourteen years to do it again!
