Almost 20 years ago (gosh that already makes me sound old!), my family moved to Wills Point, Texas. My dad became the high school basketball coach, my mom worked as a school secretary, I started 3rd grade, and Mark started pre-school........WOW, how things have changed! But old friends are always the same! I met a life-long friend that year, Cathy (Lamb) Wilcoxson. We enjoyed MANY great times together growing up in a small town. We were so sad to leave each other when we moved to Azle 5 years later. We spent ALL our time together from after school to sports to church....we were always together. It was hard to leave a best friend.....But even after all those years, we are still good friends....through high school and college graduations, weddings, kids, and lots of other stuff we still remained close. Even those miles and sometimes time came between us, we could always find each other. We talk every few months and see each other once or twice a year now, but I still love her like I did 20 years ago! It is an awesome thing to know that you have known someone that long!
Today we had our annual summer meeting.....it used to be the two of us and our moms meeting to shop, then it was the just the two of us meeting to see a movie and have lunch, and NOW it is us and our kids meeting to play! We met Cathy, Abby, and Hayden at Incredible Pizza in Mesquite. The kids had a great time and we enjoyed chasing them around and catching up. Abby looks just like her and I can't believe the little man that Hayden has become. Landri loved playing with them and really wanted to go home with them! =) We are making plans to see each other again soon. We always say that is has been too long and we should do it more.....but that usually doesn't happen! We both get busy.....BUT we should make more time to get together and let our kids make wonderful memories like we did as kids!
Landri and Abby
Having a great time together!
Hayden Kyle
Friends Forever!
