Picked Up Right Where We Left Off...

You know those kinds of friends? The ones where you can go years without seeing each other (not that you want to go years, it's just that geography keeps you separated!) and when you do finally see each other, it's like no time has passed. Good friends, best friends!

I have a friend like that! Jenny. Funny, we only lived in Memphis at the same time for about 2 years. Then, she moved to Chattanooga - about 6 hours away from me. But, we managed to see each other at least twice a year. We'd usually go visit The Underwoods over spring or fall breaks, or during the summer. We did this from 2005 to 2008. Then, we moved to Texas. The commute - a little longer now.
Last week, during a "random" Facebook chat session with Jenny, she asked me if I was going to visit my family in Atlanta anytime soon. Funny, I was planning to be there that upcoming weekend for my Grandmother's 90th birthday. However, it hadn't even crossed my mind to think that she would possibly drive over to see me.

Well, she did! Wow - it had been about 18 months since we'd seen each other (surely our longest time between visits yet) and it was just as it had always been. Easy. Fun. Comfortable. Sweet.

Thank you, Jenny and Matt, Caleb, Madelyn and Leah! I love you guys and will look forward to our next get-together, whenever that might be!

Caleb
