Facebook-I Found Her


Can you tell they are from Utah? I was freezing & they're in bathing suits & sundresses!

I sometimes think of Facebook as my own detective service. I have found so many long lost, but not forgotten friends on there.

I lived in Utah in the 90's for 2 years and worked at a bank with an awesome lady! She was my manager & we just hit it off right away. We became fast friends and when I moved back to California, we vowed to stay in touch. But as the years, my divorce, moves & re-marriage happened, we lost touch.

A few weeks ago I decided to look her up on Facebook. There she was...looking exactly the same! It was too easy!

We "talked" exchanged numbers & she called me this weekend while visiting CA with her daughter & granddaughter who was performing at Disneyland.

We met for dinner on Friday, talked about the old days, laughed & hung out. It was like no time had passed at all since our last conversation, 15 years ago! It's weird how certain friendships can just pick up right where they left off. This was definitely one of them.

Saturday, my husband & I rode our bikes down to the beach and met up with them again before they had to head back to UT.

Vicki & her family are AWESOME people! So glad we were able to meet up. Thanks Facebook!

Stacey (daughter) & Vicki~Can you believe she's a grandma?

That is great that you found some friends. At the ripe old age of 80 most of my past friends are deceased. I guess that is why I blog and actually feel a bond with the ones I have been writing back and forth to.I closed my account in face book. I can not keep up with all the things there are to do.

What an exciting reunion! I'm not on Facebook, but after reading your post, I might consider joining this net.

How fun that you were able to get in contact with her again. I keep finding my friends from Brasil via Facebook! I wouldn't have any contact with them either if it weren't for Facebook. So cool!
