April 2006 . Miosa Couture
Ten years. My, the time has gone by fast. It seems just like yesterday I met 9 wonderful ladies during my early years of college, whom I would later refer to as my core group of college friends. Once graduations began, we began peeling away from the pack, off to experience the world around us. We’ve maintained contact with each other through emails, random text messages, the occasional video chat, and individual visits, but we’ve never been able to get all ten of us together under one roof. Until yesterday.

Ten years. One weekend. Hundreds of new stories. *
- JA, soon-to-be Dr. JA, PhD. Mind-blowingly brilliant with words.
- TC, the lawyer, possibly Judge TC?
- JS, the social worker, who I hope will make her way out to the SF Bay Area.
- DM, fellow marketeer working the globe in pursuit of books.
- LK, scientific researcher and lover of Randall.
- CC, braved Honduras, now off to conquer the world of fashion/retail.
- LP, future lawyer and fiercely dedicated to family.
- SL, living the fabulous NYC life and jet-setting across the globe.
- JL (or JT?), the gorgeous bride. The reason for our convergence.
…and myself. It was wonderful to see everyone and create many new memories. Trading stories of where we’ve been, what we’re doing, and where we’re going is a treasure trove of happiness packaged into a wonderful memory that I cherish. Oh, that and the *ahem, more grown up,* antics that we seem to always experience. To sum up this amazing group is a wonderful little gem our friend used to describe us (and yes, he has a knack for words):
“Everyone looks the same. No one got fat.” –SCC
Which gets me thinking: do you have a core group of friends?
* Note: our history is just shy of ten years…it’s just a nice number to round up.

What an awesome way to honor a great group friends! I was just thinking about this the other day how now that we’ve all grown up we have these amazingly successful people in our lives. So special.
It really is special witnessing the path that everyone takes!
