College days….

I was on Facebook today and was looking back through some of my old photo albums.  I stopped on the one from my sorority days and just kept flipping through the photos.  I keep up with a lot of my sorority sisters these days through Facebook.  One sister in particular though I miss more than any.

Carol (Rakestraw) Tisdale and I have been through a lot!  She’s the one in the black and white dress in the above picture.  This one was taken at our formal at the Pzazz hotel.  What a fun night!  Carol was my “date” that night because the guy that was supposed to go had a school conflict at the last minute.  It all worked out though because it was one of the absolute best nights at college.  She graduated the semester of this picture, but it didn’t matter.  She’s always been there even when I didn’t think I needed her to be.  She was my maid of honor at my wedding and I was in her wedding.  One time, we went nearly a year without speaking because of life.  Once we reconnected, it was like I had just seen her the day before.  Some people in life come and go, but some are always there.  She’s one of my best friends even though we don’t see each other much anymore.  If I needed her, she’d be in the car on the way in the middle of the night and I hope she knows I would do the same for her!  Love you Carol!
