Friends and Basketball

Last night, I had a wonderful time with three girls I went to high school with. Three of us were best friends in high school, the other gal wasn't someone we were particulary close with until recent years.

The four of us played basketball together and eventually won the state championship. We decided we were going to go to a high school basketball game at our old school. When we walked in, I swear, some of the old timers who go to nearly every game got teary-eyed seeing half of the 1995 team back together! Being a part of that team was such a big moment in our lives, and it's awesome to know that so many people in our small town felt and still feel the same way.

The four of us probably spent more time chatting than watching basketball, and it was worth every minute. I don't know why we don't get together more! We left our kids with their dads last night, but we set a date to get together with our kids sometime in March. I couldn't be looking forward to it more.

By the way, both the boys and girls team won. Both teams are state ranked, too. I think the boys have a real shot at making it to the final four this year. And if they do, I can guarantee that the four of us will be in the stands chatting and cheering them on.
