They're Reproducing!

I've known my friend Julia since before I can remember. We grew up together. Whenever we weren't at my house, we were at her house. The two of us spent hours talking about boys, and Green Day, and what we were going to do when we grew up. We dared each other to run through the sprinkler in her backyard naked. We were best friends all through elementary school and junior high, and I was devastated when her dad lost his job and the family moved to Evansville, IN for a new job.

Even though we don't see each other or talk a lot, she's one of those people I've known for so long that there's not much catch-up. We can pick up wherever we left off, and it's always great to hear what she's been up to.

It's funny how similarly two lives can start and how much they can veer off in different directions. Julia is still doing really well. She's living in Evansville with her husband, and the two of them are excitedly anticipating their daughter's arrival in a few months. I'm SO happy for them, and it's strange to be doing such different things in my life. I guess it's time to welcome in a new generation of naked-sprinkler-runners. Congratulations Julia and Jason!!
