I will be honest, I don’t talk to many people from high school.  The funny thing is that I don’t really know why.  I liked high school.  I had a lot of friends in high school and I will honest, some days I would go back to high school in a heart beat.

I have had a Facebook page for awhile now.  It was fun adding all these people that I knew as friends – especially the ones that I know from high school but haven’t seen or talked to in awhile.

Over the past month or so, I have started using Facebook more.  My friends use it to talk to each other and share pictures.  My family likes to see pictures of what we are up to with the girls.  I have even started keeping in touch a bit more with friends from high school.

Like I stated in yesterday’s post, today is my birthday.  And back in high school, there were probably 20 or more of us that had birthdays in the first 2 weeks of October.  We even had a big party one year for all October birthdays.  We always had the best time.

Being on Facebook the last couple of weeks have brought me back to that time.  I see everyone’s birthdays coming up and I start to think about all the fun we had in high school.  Here are some of my favs:

“Right back at ya girlfriend! I hope you have a good day too! I have so many great b-day memories with you! So glad we get to celebrate back-to-back! Happy Birthday Laura! ”

“Happy Birthday! I remember getting your mom’s birthday cookies. Hopefully you have as good as skills with baking cookies as your mom did. I hope your day is going well for you. Take care.”

“Happy birthday Laura! Hope you are enjoying a fabulous day as fun as all the birthdays we all used to celebrate together!”

I love these comments.  Each and every birthday wish has made me smile today.  I love how the Internet can help to bring back such great memories.  It has also made me realize how important friends are and I have made a promise to make more time for them.

In conclusion, I guess what I am trying to say is this:  Thank you, Facebook for reminding me how lucky I am to have such great friends and for helping to make this birthday just a little bit more special.
