Every so often I get bit by the nostalgia bug. I'll reflect on high school (but not TOO much because I hated it), Ricks College, BYU before my mission, my 18 months as a missionary in Paris, BYU post-mission. Each of these time periods helped make me who I am today (take it or leave it) and all of the people I acquainted myself with, hold a special place in my...sap, sap, but it's true...heart. I would never trade where I am now to go back to any of these times, but occasionally I think and wonder about what my mission companions and district Elders are up to or where my college roommates are living, what their families are like, if they've still kept the same quirky qualities that I loved. I wish I had been able to keep in contact over the years with all of them, but to be honest...there aren't enough hours in the day.
When I started blogging, I started to reconnect with some of them and now that my eyes have been open to Facebook, people from my past have been flying out of the woodwork and I must say that I love it!! That's all I needed...just a little glimpse to know that they're fine, an occasional post "wall-to-wall", a way to still feel connected to the past while living in the present.
Okay, enough cheese for now...more to come tomorrow.

I noticed that you have over a hundred friends on facebook. Don't think I even know that many people!lol
As long as you're enjoying yourself, it's a good thing.
That's the crazy part about Facebook! I've got friends from church and high school back in the day, from college, from the many theater groups I've worked with, from many of the LA lighting companies I've worked with, and now from my LPA/POLP contacts! The hard part is when you have to start remembering which group people belong to!!
On Tuesday you told me you "just didn't get facebook". Amazing what a difference a few days makes! I still haven't ever been on....
Yeah but a wall-to-wall doesn't compare to comments on a blog. The latter still seems more personal.
