Ok, so I'm going to save the pictures for tomorrow so that I can do a before/after post. The last time I'd taken a picture with Ray I was in 8th grade, so I figure it'll be amusing to see the difference to more than just me =). So, look for that tomorrow

Awww! That gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling! :-) Makes me want to reconnect with my old friends...even though, I didn't really have a best friend like that...I never have. I was really good friends with a guy on my bus in middle school, but we only saw each other on the bus and on the internet. We, unfortunately, never hung out. I considered him my best friend at the time, and really wanted to date him, but it never happened. I loved talking to him, though, and he always had me laughing. ...Now I'm all nostalgic, lol.

Probably my "Ray" would be my cousin, Blake. We've always had a pretty close relationship, even as kids, but it grew stronger as we got older (and as he got more mature). I see the Blake of today - engaged, getting ready to move two hours away for school, becoming a master at fixing up cars - but I can't help but remember the skateboard riding, video game playing, bowl-haired Blake of old. We used to spend the night at our grandparents' everytime he was at his dad's (his parents are divorced), and we'd stay up all hours of the night playing his video games. But I haven't done that for a long time, and I miss it now. Perhaps I should do that again before he moves off, and before he gets married, and our lives are absolutely nothing like what they were back then.

And this post has become way longer than I expected it to be, lol. Sorry for the rambling, but you inspired some old memories to resurface ;-)
