Reconnecting

Monday I had the chance to catch up with an "old" friend.  I met Jodi my sophomore year of college in my first semester at UNI.  She and I had a class together and we found out we had a lot in common.  We were both engaged and our weddings were two weeks apart.  It was great to have a "couple" friend during college when most people weren't yet married and we had many fun times together.  I remember the first time we met Jimmy, Jodi's fiance, we were going rollerblading.  Ryan and I had been rollerblading before, but we weren't very good.  That needs to preface the story and you'll soon find out why.  Ryan put on his rollerblades and stood up out of the car.  Next thing I know it's like slow motion, his arms were flalling and he legs were spinning.  He landed on his rear end and all I could do was laugh!  That broke the ice for us and were had a great time together that day.   

We spent lots of time together with Jimmy and Jodi and then life moved on, we moved away and we lost touch.  Thankfully we reconnected recently and it was great to see our kids playing and catch up on life. This was a good reminder to me that friendships are too important to drop and I need to be more diligent with staying connected.
