Rebecca and I have known each other since first grade when we were both in Ms. Cockerham's class (trying learning that name as a 6 year old). Throughout the 12 years we attended school together, we shared classes, went to the same church and had a lot of the same friends. I think, though, it was chorus that really brought us closer and bonded our friendship.
Starting in 9th grade, there was a group of us in chorus that hung out and had tons of fun. A couple of the guys were older than us and I was "in love" with the one who Rebecca dated. Everyone knew it though and we all laughed about it. I remember asking one of the other guys, Jason, how everyone knew and he said it was because I was nice to Rebecca's boyfriend and so mean to him (Jason). Jason was so crazy and annoying though, it was hard not to be mean to him. ha ha
This was the group of friends who kept me honest when my boyfriend, who didn't attend our school, was pulling me in the wrong direction.
Rebecca is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet, but she can be feisty if need be. During our 10th year reunion, her little boy, Brooks, started to toddle away from her, but one sharp, "Brooks!" made him scurry back. I marveled at her parenting, as Peyton was already running me ragged. And then the baby, Reese, every time I see his picture, I see Rebecca as a little girl with her perfect ponytails and ribbons.
I'm so glad we found each other again!

That was soooooo sweet. I went on a field trip to the Davis theatre yesterday and saw "old boyfriend" from afar. I didn't turn around and look that way again. It was just too strange.(That was just me being childish.)
Also, I just lucked out with Brooks being a good child because Reese is going to give all of us a run for our money.
Lastly, what ever happened to Jason?
