Again with all of the reunions and stuff the last couple months, a lot of memories have just swarmed.  I went to Smithville schools from 3rd grade till just before my Junior year.  It was a very small school at the time.  There were as many people in the whole school as there was in my class at Winnetonka.  Even though I didn't graduate from Smithville, I  continued friendships and maintained a connection there.  There was also a lot of ickies there too, going to the 20 year reuniion was very helpful for me to kind of separate the ickies and see how insignificant they are now for my life.  Got in contact with some people that I never thought I would have anything in common with and some of my old friends.  My anxiety almost kept me from going, but I am so glad I did.

We had our ups and downs and just seemed to be in different places in our lives at different times, but we had a great time those last few high school years and no matter who else we were friends with, we always came back to each other.  I'm so glad we are back in touch and kinda sad that grown up life keeps us from doing very much together.  We were always at each others houses and always together, she even came to school with me a few times.  Her parents were awesome and accepted me, she was another sister.  We were horror movie junkies and knew every word to our fave movies.   She had a crush on C Thomas Howell and me on Rick Springfield.  We sure had some fun, I'm just glad we made it to adulthood, I will never forget and can't wait to rebuild this new friendship.

Krista was very lucky to find her soulmate early-I missed my BFF of course, but OMG-they really loved each other and I was and am so happy that she was able to have that-she had always given so much to others and they are still married and still very much in love ") .  I will never forget our good times and dumb times and not so grown up times but so glad to move forward as your friend again----LOVE YOU GIRL
