Blasts from the Past

So this past week, I keep running into people from my past. 

At work last week, I ran into another very pregnant woman who is a nurse at my hospital and she looked so familiar.  Yeah, she was at my high school.  We definitely didn't run in the same circles-I being a choir nerd and her being a cheerleader but she recognized me once I got up the guts to say hello! :)

Then last Friday I went to a baseball game with my cousins.  It was so fun but I'll share pics of that later.  Anyway, I looked down the row from us and there was a girl who totally looked like a neighbor of mine in the dorms almost nine years ago!!  She was!  In fact, she was also the wife of one of the baseball players on the opposing team!  I was brave that night too and went over to ask if she was indeed Heather and she was and totally remembered me!  

I used to dread running into old acquaintances!  When my parents moved back to where I went to junior high, I worried I'd see people all the time but haven't.  I kind of have worried about the same here but this is the first that it's come true!  Luckily it was positive!

In the more recent past, a friend had lunch with me today and it was lovely.  I miss my friends in Minnesota so it was so nice to visit with her and get updates on people who I know and miss!

Okay, I am curious...which Heather did you run into? Heather RA, Heather Red, or Heather Long Legs? Oh sheesh. I can't believe I remember their nicknames!!

i have to say that i thought I was the only one that was apprehensive about running into old friends in Little Rock. my reasons might outweigh yours.
