Old friends are the best!

My boys and I got to take a little "road trip" up to Perry, Utah on Monday to visit one of my best friends from High School. Laurie and I were cheerleaders together both in Jr. High (go Generals) and at Taylorsville High School. Even back in High School, Laurie had it all together. I always thought of her as the "pretty one" of my friends (and she got to date all the "HOT" guys) but she was also incredibly smart, funny, and kind to everyone. I don't know of anyone who didn't like Laurie. She was also very spiritual and kept me from going off on the wrong path with her amazing example. She also made it possible for me to pass the AP American and European History tests by getting me to study all the time (and letting me use her vocabulary cards which I was too lazy to make) She is now the mother of 4 adorable children. She sews, blogs, does food storage, studies gospel topics like the second coming, cans, does Scouting activities with her son, takes her kids on awesome adventures, supports her husband in his business, and a million other things that I could never live up to.The cool thing about visiting an old friend, is that they know the real you from the beginning, and they like you anyway. Even though we haven't seen each other much since High School, when we do talk or get together, it's like no time has passed at all. That to me is the sign of a real friendship. It was so fun to go up there and spend some time together and have our kids play together. Thanks Laurie for all your years of friendship to me (and for getting me started on Facebook!) I'll love you for forever! Here is a little trip down memory lane!
