Remember the post I did not to long ago about girlfriends? Well, this is just a confirmation about all that good stuff that comes along with great friendships. Courtney and I went to college together for a semester at Fresno State. We hit it off in an instant and hung out constantly until I injured my ankle and ended up back in Alaska. The last time we saw each other was at my wedding....10 YEARS AGO!!! Life just got in the way and we went different ways. Well, we never stopped thinking about each other and she tracked me down just a couple months ago (thanks Google!). She decided to make a spur of the moment decision to come see me. I can't even begin to tell you how full my heart is right now. Like most amazing friendships, we didn't skip a beat. So much has happened in our lives, but we went right back into that beautiful place in our hearts and we talked about our lives with eager ears and non-judgemental eyes. We laughed and squealed the night she came in as we caught each other up and remembered old times. We woke up the next day with laughing hangovers! I got to shoot her a little in the short while that she was here and we snagged these shots as I was testing the lights and getting her comfy in front of the camera. I miss you dearly Court, and there are so many words that come to mind when I think about our 3 short days together.....refreshing, hysterical, and just what the doctor ordered:) Your visit meant the world to me and my family and I am glad that my kids had a chance to meet one of my friends that had a hand in shaping me into the Mom, friend and wife that I am:) Thank you!

No Kathy, thank you for the great weekend. I needed it!! It was a joy to meet your beautiful children and I can't wait for future visits. C
Wow, it's so hard to find such 'real' and deep friendships like that. You are blessed to have one another and how cool to start right where you left off after 10 years of not seeing one another! I pray for more friendships like that (non-judgemental eyes, true heart-felt friendships). Love this post Kathy{okay, so I love all your posts} ;) Oh and you both are absolutely gorgeous!
picking up where you left off after a decade? enough said. what a priceless friendship! i'm so happy you were able to have this reunion. what a beautiful collage of you two!!!
ditto. that's all i can stretch out, but definitely ditto.
