The next best thing

For a while now, some of my old roommates and I have talked about getting together for a reunion.  Every time we want to make it happen though, a few are about to have a baby or move or things just come up.  So one day Tiffany came up with the idea to do a google chat so we could all be there and see each other.  Brilliant!  Why none of us had thought of that before, I don't know.  But we scheduled some time on a Sunday evening when our husbands could watch kids, and we all "hung out" and took turns updating each other and introducing our kids that we hadn't met yet, etc.  It was the first time any of us had used this, so there were a few small tech glitches we had to work out, but next time will be even smoother.  It was so fun to catch up with all of these ladies that I love.  Definitely the next best thing to actually being together in person!!
