Alright, alright, I’ll respond. I just want to say I LOVE the book idea. How great would that be to do for our (gulp) 10 year reunion, which we are all not going to, btw. When I moved last time I found my high school box of pictures. It contained titles like: ‘da lake house – ninth grade – Amy, Halie, Kindra and Jenna get trashed – bye bye Kindra – Halie, Jenna and Janelle at jack off in the box and bowling…things like that. Photos from all our 16th birthdays, yeah, I said 16. It’s been a long time you guys and even though we don’t see each other as much as we should right now it doesn’t mean that we won’t later. We are still young and have plenty of time. I’m just graduating from college for pete’s sake! So, I’m being optimistic here, we can keep in touch, dinner once a month from now on, remember? I miss everyone too and I miss the good times we had and I do genuinely appreciate all of my high school girlfriends. I think we were really lucky to have that group of friends and I am so proud of where everyone is today. We all grew up to be amazing people, and that is definitely something to remember.

Kindra – I too miss all of our friends as you put it, fiercely. Please know that you are not the only one who feels guilty about all of us growing apart. I think about that more than you know. I am so glad you wrote this piece. It really touched me and please know that I love you and all of our friends dearly, and always will.

(To all of you blog readers out there I am sorry for the personal note)

I too have discovered the box ‘o treasures at my mom’s house and each time I visit her, I always head to the storage room where it is kept and dig through it again, hoping to see things I may have missed the last time I went digging. We wrote hundreds of notes and it’s so funny to go back and read them and realize that we had nothing to say. It really was just a way of passing the time.

I have the same feelings about clutter as you…..it gives me some anxiety. But these are the kinds of things that are worth keeping forever.

Haha! My parents just moved and I was told I’ve got similar “Ganj-e Penhan” (hidden treasure) at their house that they’d like to dispose of. Keep some of it. Your kids will thank you one day

Oh Kindra – you’ve verbalized what I’ve been thinking for years as I randomly go through boxes of our seemingly endless notes. If you ever did decide to make a book of all of our notes with all the girls, I’ve still got several boxes I can’t seem to part with that you can use!

I can’t even get through 3 or 4 notes because they all get so repetitive but at the same time it’s fun to jump back in time for a few minutes and relive all those seemingly important experiences that are completely irrelevant now.
