Old Friends and New Beginnings...

The summer before I turned 18 was probably one of the best of my life. I spent it with a tremendous group of people, and made the most meaningful friendships, ones that, even now, neither time nor miles can distance. 

That summer, we learned so much. We learned how to be good friends, we wrote poetry together, shared first kisses, and broke each others hearts. We watched countless episodes of "Dawson's Creek" - applying each episode to the drama happening in our own lives. We swam in rivers, we sat on rooftops until all hours of the night contemplating life. We laughed, we cried, and we yelled...alot. It sounds like a 'coming of age' movie, but it was our summer. It is our story. 

I have known Lin & Tim for some of the best parts of my life. Most of my spectacular childhood memories - they're in it. After we all got married, and went off to live our new adventures, we didn't really talk much. We kept in touch through friends, an email here and there. But there wasn't any place on earth I wanted to be but with them as they started a new chapter in their story. And he is gorgeous.

Little man, welcome to the story. You are loved more than can ever be measured, and certainly. more than you will ever know. And, whether you realize it or not, you have the COOLEST PARENTS!

Much Love,

 Beth
