Oh My Gosh!!!!

I just got off the phone with my best friend all through elementary school, middle school and high school!!! That was just so cool.... Ben came in the kitchen with my cell phone and said, "There's a Michelle Wickham on the phone looking for a Brandi Brown...." I just about jumped out of my skin!! I emailed her through reunion.com ages ago, but figured there was a problem with the website, because I never heard anything from her. We talked for quite a while, though—it was really nice to connect with her again. Once we got into middle school, my Dad used to drop me off at her house in the mornings and we'd walk to school together. We were in marching band together, both played the clarinet. We worked together on Fiddler on the Roof our freshman year—I in the chorus and she on stage crew. We even tried our first cigarette together. Don't worry—I didn't inhale ;-) That was the last cigarette that ever touched my lips too!!! yuck... We even were able to walk together at graduation. I don't have much from those years. Most of my memories are ones I'd like to forget. It's refreshing to have a connection that is a positive one.
