Facebook

I have had my Facebook account for almost a year and I mainly did it just so I could keep up with my kids and with the youth from church. Over the year I have had friends come on line and church people and like being here blogging you feel like you know each other better.I finally got my friend Kim to come on board and like some of you I can keep up by blogging or Facebook and go on vacation with y'all from your pics and your blogs of each day. Anyway, a couple of months ago I notice that alot of the women had there maiden names in their name so I change mind to Jennifer Merck Glover about a month later my friend Jennifer that lived across the street from me found me and we began catching up well from her I found Tammy, Kara and Cindy they were girls that grew up out there with us (we were country girls away from all the city subdivision kids so we only had each other). Cindy and I we were best friends from middle school until high school but we lost touch each with each other and have not been in touch for almost 15 years but I feel like we are building our friendship back up. I have enjoyed getting to know the ladies again and I have really enjoyed seeing pics of their families and where the paths have gone. I also connected with alot of other middle school/high school friends even the 1st love which by the way made a huge impact on me as in relationships and I use our past experience to talk to the girls as w/ the boys and w/ their friends cause I let him control me and I spent more time pining for him and not with my girlfriends. Some people come up and I have to ask Cindy or my friend Robbie (we have been friends since 4th grade and is one of 2 people that have stayed in contact with from high school) who they are and was I friends with them. I finally got the yearbook out and look up people and realize who was who. Some I had memories with that I had never forgotten. Like Angie whenever I heard anything about Barbara Streisand I thought of her cause I remember being at her house and watching Main Event and The Rose, when I think of Duran Duran I think of Lynn cause her and Stephanie loved them and Boy George along w/ Lynn comes Al her husband now I remember his car and me and my friend Lorraine riding around w/ him one night and running into some girls that I didn't like (goes back to that boy again), Tammy I remember going over to her house and all of us spending the night and playing those middle school girls games, Jennifer I remember her brother driving a school bus and we use to go over and play inside of it and there pop up camper,playing ball in her front yard, Kara her mom gave me my nickname Fer and driving around on her go-cart that looked like a van, Nick sitting in class and getting in trouble I was a good student but you put Nick in a class with me and I seem to get in trouble alot esp if you had me, him, Cindy and Chris. So it is nice to see where these people are what they look like now and how life has been.. But now with Cindy I have also reconnected w/ twin sisters Amy and Jamie the 4 of us were friends from middle school until high school. For the past couple of years every once in a while I would be at Wal-Mart or somewhere in Spartanburg and see this girl that looked familiar but had no clue why she would be over here in Spartanburg well I found out it really was Jamie she lives here, we know alot of the same people esp from our church, she works right down the street from me so she was the first person I hooked up with and had lunch with and we have continue having lunch at least once every 2 weeks. One Tuesday Cindy even came and meet us but we still had not meet up with her twin Amy that lives in Greenville so on March 7th we are all getting together for lunch to catch up and starting our friendship back up... I look forward to staying connected to all of these ladies and getting together with others. Since I did not graduate and have not been to a reunion this is my reunion of sort. Try looking up your friends by their maiden names, change yours to show yours, look up high school name it really is fun to reconnect but can be addicting...
