monday's memory: the one with the friends at retreat

once upon a time

i went with my friend lajuana to be her "tech support" when she spoke at a retreat

this picture was taken 4 years ago, at the end of that retreat

she and her husband moved to atlanta almost exactly a year ago

and i still miss her

though she's very much a part of my life

phone calls, though more infrequent than in the past, still happen

visits up to nashville are somewhat often for her

and i have plans to go down and hang out with her as soon as humanly possible.

and one of these days, i look forward to her involvement in my wedding

(and as i've told her often, i can't WAIT to introduce my kids to her)

:)
