The Wonders of Facebook

Facebook is amazing. Period. I've been having so much fun lately through facebook - reconnecting with friends from CampBenFrankel... a college friend who is in Thailand now.... and many high school friends. Today I had the wonderful surprise of hearing from the girl who was my very best friend when I was 12. Stacey and I met in 1st or 2nd grade (I think) and were so close until my family moved from Alabama to Illinois. This little trip down memory lane sent me to my memory box to dig out a few treasures :)

The picture is one that Stacey sent me after I moved I think. Stacey is in the yellow on the left. I wish I could remember all the names, but my memory isn't that good! I hope Stacey might be able to fill in the blanks for me :)

I'm not sure who is next to Stacey (maybe Sarah?), but I know the girl in the pink in the middle is Stephanie (? I think). Next to Stephanie is... hmmm not sure - but I think it's Elizabeth? The head at the very top is Anna? Gosh this is tough! The little head to the right of Elizabeth is Amy and the girl on the far right is Gretchen. Hmmm... am I even close?!

This scan is a page from the diary I kept as a little girl. I remember so clearly that Stacey and I would always write in our diaries when we had sleepovers! At the time we would laugh and laugh - and now I'm so glad I've kept it! We were 8 that year..... it makes me smile to realize that my Adam is that age now

OMG!!!!! I can't believe you found these old relics! You were spot on with all of the girls' names, too! I'm proud of you. That diary entry is hysterical! I remember spending the night at your house ALL THE TIME. You're pretty handy with that scanner of yours. I actually went to your blog earlier this AM to check out what you'd been up to lately - I found the link on your info page from Facebook. I'm so glad we're back in touch. You really sent me down memory lane with these treasures!
