Hi friends! Well, as you can see, it has been a while since I have blogged. So, to get caught up with what's been going on lately Ill start with a great story finding a lost friend. I am a caregiver and go to training at the office every now and then. Last February I was at one of these training sessions, and met a lovely lady there. There was something about her that I just couldn't put a finger on. But I was drawn to her for some reason. We talked some, but actually didn't have alot of time to get to know each other. We left the training out the door the same time, chatted a little more, then got into or own cars and left. I thought that I would like to be friends with her, but since the training sessions were rather rare, I didn't see how that would happen.
In the meantime I have been hanging out (online) at Facebook. Lately I have been seeing alot of my classmates from school. I am glad to run into them, and think its cool that we can come into contact again through Facebook. We're planning our 40th class reunion for next July. Since I have been thinking about my formal classmates, I have been especially wondering about a friend I met in 6th grade named Mary Ann, and wondering where she was. We also knew each other all through Jr and Sr high school. I have thought about her through the years and would love to find her again. So one day I typed her name in the search field at Facebook. Well, immediately her picture came up(As an adult now). I was pretty sure it was her and she was actually here at Facebook! I was so excited; I clicked on her pic and it took me to her profile. I put in a friend request, and within a few hours she excepted. So we excitedly conversed in messages, and exchanged phone numbers. We made arrangements to meet at a Starbucks. I got there first, then she came in hurridly and said "Hi!, I have to leave real quick and get something and I'll be right back" and left her purse with me so I would "trust her". Well she came back in about 5 minutes with a bouquet of flowers in her hand and told me they were for me. I thought this was so thoughtful and sweet of her. We started talking and got caught up with what was going on in our lives. She told me she was a caregiver, so I was like, "oh wow thats a funny coensodence" then asked her what company she worked for. She told me and it was the exact company I worked for! Then Mary Ann asked "were you in that training seminar last February?" I said I was, then we both looked at each other and freaked out! "Oh my God!" we said. She was that same special lady I met there and talked to, and was drawn to!!!!! And she felt the same about me -she was drawn to me also. So that nice lady that I had wished I could be friends with at that training that cold day in February was actually my best friend in 6th grade and classmate 7th-12th grade!!!! How amazing is that??!!! Wow! We were both beside ourselves and couldn't believe it. What a coensodence!! So we have been talking on the phone, emailing, and she even came over to my house.I am so happy to have my Mary Ann back in my life. I hope we will never loose contact again!
