Well it's been a while since I posted. Not all that much has gone on. We're well under way for christmas. Everything is decorated and most gifts have been purchased. I wrapped everything that has to be wrapped to date. Last night we drank hot coco and watched Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer and Charlie Brown's Christmas. It was great!!
With our reunion approaching next summer, I've had the chance to catch up with a few people who I haven't seen or really talked to since high school. One in particular, Carrie McBain. We've been emailing the past few weeks quite regularly. It's great to catch up with her. Junior high we were inseperable and has some rough times through high school but it's nice to put that aside now that we're older. She's married and has a beautiful daughter named Isabella. They live in Ottawa where she is a RCMP. She will be travelling to Dalhousie this weekend with her daughter for a week visit. She may also take a trip here to Miramichi for a visit. It'll be nice to see her again after all this time.
Funny how things change over the years. It's great to put aside things that happened years ago and catch up again. Back then it may have seemed to be something huge, but now as time goes on, it's quite trivial. I guess I've grown up quite a bit and realize that life is too short and some people that you were quite close to years ago, should be back in your life. Mind you as I've grown, I also realize that you can't waste time with people who play you either. I guess I don't have time, or want to, for things that happen as if we were back in high school when we are clearly so much older and wiser. I guess you really realize who your friends really are. I guess I only want to be happy, and want people that are that way too in my life!
So enough babble..
Talk soon!

Arrah you are so right.....We invest time into friendships that take onthe greater percentage of our lives only to throw it all away for reasons that we would not even come close to identifying now.....there is only one person that I regret not having reconciled with ....and I have attempted the email thing along time ago..but with no response...it really kills me that I was friends with this person for 17years and have a hard time even speaking a word to now....it is crazy....and to think we always thought that our kids would grow up together...and now our kids do not even know we were even friends...anyway...if you have any advice for me...let me know...
myah
I would try again Myah...Leave it brief, and don't refer to the past. Unfortunately we can't dwell on what is happened, but take it from this day forward. I'm not saying totally forget the past because you can't always do that, but at least get past it. It was years ago and we've all changed and grown.
You have to start slow. Hope this helps.
Hey Arrah,
Glad you and Carrie got some things straightened out. I had no clue she was married or that she had a little girl. Everyone is growing up so fast. Ok so I guess 10 yrs isn't all that fast LOL. Although I do believe in forgiving in forgetting there are just some things out there that are not forgivable. I know that may sound childish but there are some people out there that I can't even think about forgiving or forgetting. And although I should be the bigger person I would still like them to fall flat on their face. But again these are not about things that happened in high school but things that happened to turn my life completely upside down. I guess if these things hadn't have happened I would not be engaged to my wonderful man. But it still hurts and I'm no where near the point of forgivint or forgetting. Ok I just rambled on for ever about my life. But I'm glad you were big enough to forgive and forget. I can't say there is anyone in highschool that hurt me, at least not anyone I can remember. LOL. I do hope I get a chance to make it to the reunion. I guess only time will tell.
