    Kerry, me, and Katherine at our 8th grade graduation from Haven Middle School in Evanston, Illinois.

    It's particularly fitting that we celebrated this occasion together because we all began school together as infants at Chiravalle Montessori school and then for a time went our separate academic ways.

    Our different paths separated us and brought us back again, for one last year of school together. Then I moved to Maryland, and Kerry soon transferred to a different high school, yet I stayed in close touch with both, and continue to do so.

    We had a mini-reunion back in the spring when Kerry came to visit, and this weekend we made a more concerted effort to hang out again - this time where it all began.

    Looking forward to a weekend of fun and friends with the two oldest friends (really sisters) I have. Nearly 30 years, gals. How many women at 30 can say that?
