Picking up where we left off.

So last week, on Friday, I went down to Lehi to catch up with an old friend. We were best friends in high school and hadn't chatted in a long time.

It was so fun!

It was my first experience with just picking up where you left off.

I think we both planned on chatting 1 maybe 2 hours. 4 hours later, I was heading home. And we just talked about life and everything in it.

This friend is recently divorced, so we talked about that.

We talked about a lot of crap that I've been through in the last year.

We talked about the good we've both had.

We talked about old friends.

We talked about where we thought we were going to be by now, and where we've actually ended up.

We realized that we've been friends for 1/3 of our lives.

It was just fun to catch up.

And then at the end of the night we decided we want to chat more often, stay more connected. So we came up with this rule. If one of us texts or facebooks the other, we have to respond within a week.

That seemed reasonable and realistic.

Basically, it was great to be with a friend and realize that something, good and bad, never change.
