Katie is coming to visit!

Katie is finally coming to visit! To adequately understand how exciting this is to me, you need to know the background.
It all started first day freshman year of high school, 1992. I walked into homeroom knowing only 3 people out of the 375 in my freshman class......I was a little nervous. A short bubbly girl walked up to me and said (really fast) "Hi my name is Katie Dillon, what's your name?".

Katie and I were fast friends. After graduating high school we went to the same college and roomed together for all four years (and managed to remain friends in the process!). I was the maid of honor at her wedding and we were never out of touch for long while she went to grad school at Princeton and I worked in Atlanta. With our busy schedules it has been difficult to visit each other, so it has been over a year since I've last seen her!! Katie keeps me grounded, she calls me on my shit, and she knows me better than anyone else in my life. She's seen me at my best and worst and she loves me no matter what. It'll be like we saw each other just last weekend.

One of my favorite Katie moments:
Katie: "Hey Neen, do you want these vitamins? They taste horrible!"
Janine: "That's because they aren't chewable....you're supposed to swallow them!"
Katie: giggle.

I'm feeling much better after sleeping 14 hours last night......so I'll be better in no time! Perfect for the big UM vs. OSU weekend!!
