Sure, this is the thing about Facebook; people from your past come out of the woodwork. But, it's really kind of amazing. Jamie and I actually hadn't spoken since we parted on not-great terms at the end of freshman year. There's this amazingly good feeling that comes from recognizing just how far behind you those differences are and being able to share in those happy, happy, happy memories.
There's also a sense of wonder, both at the outfits that I chose (that is a Banana Republic skirt from back when they were actually safari-style gear and the name sort of made more sense), and at how very young we once were. I am a baby in these photos! Waaaa. But I still have those pillow shams.
Jamie was hugely important to my transition to college which in turn was hugely important to who I am today. I have so much appreciation for Facebook today, and for Jamie for making the effort to find me so that we could bask in the warm of nostalgia.
P.S. And how wonderous and lucky is it that I have made the journey from babyhood to where I am now with James as my friend?
Or that he still has those crazy long toes?
