It’s funny to me how small a world it is.

8th Grade. Amanda and I met and became friends. Somewhere along the line she started dating Tripp Dawson (who I didn’t think was near good enough for her at the time…but then nobody ever is right? :-) ) Our friendship lasted through 10th grade when I moved to another school, but then we didn’t really see each other much after that. Fast forward almost 10 years…my mom is a teacher at another local elementary school and tells me that they’ve hired a new Kindergarten teacher—Amanda Dawson.

Of course she’s just as beautiful as she was in high school, and now has two beautiful daughters as well. Oh, and Tripp turned out to be a pretty great husband (and father!) after all. :-)
