Spur of the moment a few months ago, I was thinking of my long lost girlfriends back in Greenville, South Carolina, where I attended my freshman year of high school. I couldn't believe that I've been back on the East Coast for three years now, + I still hadn't seized the opportunity to schedule a visit with these ladies that remain some of the sweetest gals I know. So seize, I did!

So, we took to Google Maps + found that Richmond, Virginia is pretty much dead center between Stamford, Connecticut + Greenville, South Carolina. I planned work appointments down the coast for Thursday + Friday, + will wrap up my work week by toasting these great friends that I haven't seen in years!
Check out this picture from CB's 15th birthday party in 2002! I am on the far left, + CB is directly next to me.
Joe's Crab Shack - Greenville, South Carolina
The above picture is one of the only ones I could find on Facebook with me + CB together. My family moved West to Los Angeles about three weeks after the above picture was taken (remember the story of how we moved to LA?). CB visited me a few times in California after we moved West, but the last time I got to spend good time with her was when she came to see me when I was in college in San Francisco back in 2007. I did see her briefly on a business trip through Greenville that I had back in 2008.
I don't have a picture to steal from Facebook of me + MG, so I jacked one of her profile pictures (sorry, MG!). Isn't she gorgeous?! The last time I saw MG was on my return trip to Greenville to visit friends back in 2003.
So eight years since I've seen MG, four years since I've really visited with CB, so I think that we will have such a fabulous time this weekend catching up!!
Do any of you have super dear friends that live a distance, that you are able to still pick right up with, after months or years of separation? Isn't that one of the coolest feelings, when you have friendships like that?
I hope you all have a super great weekend, + that you get to spend it with people you love + have a great time with!

What a small world- I'm from Greenville, SC... I also had a birthday party at Joe's crabshack in its glory days!!
Have a blast this weekend and be safe!
OK, a few things..
1) Darlin you haven't changed a bit! My eye immediately found you, and you were so freaking cute! (You're beautiful now, so don't worry...)
2)I know you don't have an updated pic of CB, but MG just made me feel REALLY bad about myself. White teeth, green eyes, gorgeous hair. Ugh. going back to bed...
3) I ADORE Richmond. Spent a lot of time there when I lived in Hampton.
4)And finally, I do have several friends that no matter the distance or the time elapsed, we can always pick right up where we left off. I think they are the best kind of friends...
Have a fantastic weekend sweetie, and we totally need to talk about your New Year's plans...I must take advantage of you being so close!!!
