Friendships I have made or those that have grown stronger.

hile looking through pictures of the past decade, it’s amazing to see all the different circles I ran with. I have a decade worth of great memories of good times with amazing people. The true friends stuck by me and supported me through some really awful times. I am thankful for them.
  • In college I had the Thomson Girls and the Miami Ruggers.  
  • After Graduation I sang along with the Tuesday Night Peeps.  
  • There was only artistic drama with the Middletown Lyric Theatre cast and crew
  • My bond with the some of my friends from high school grew stronger. Mandy (Kepner) Hunter and I would have lunch at least once a week after she moved to the Dayton area. I love me some Mike Elam and Jenny (York) Garner. Nick and Angela Murphy have been so wonderful to me and I now call their daughter my niece. Since the cat is out of the bag I can tell you all that they are expecting a second child. Of course Brandy and I are thick as thieves even on different coasts.
  • Not many people have the pleasure of calling their co-workers their friends, but I do. I met some awesome people at GCCHD.
  • I'm not the biggest internet person (Says the girl writing a blog that she then posts on facebook), but I have branched out this year. I even MET people via an internet forum.
  • Many ladies of the Dayton Area Rugby Club became some of my closest confidants.  
  • I had weekly meetings with the Wineaux Wednesday Club in Xenia.  
  • Now I have a new group of ruggers in Eugene, OR and spend quite a bit of time in the Man Cave of Corvallis.  (I edited my Haunts of my 20s blog to include the Man Cave because I was informed I left it out.  Sorry boys. It was not intentional.)
I look forward to strengthening the relationships I have now even though many friends are 2500 miles away.  I am also excited to see what new friends I make in Oregon in the upcoming decade.

I loved working with Lilah at GCCHD.  We became very good friends and I still can turn to her if I need someone to talk to.

It's impossible to not love Jorge!

I met my roommates through the interweb.
I am a fan of Amy and am glad I joined that forum.

My rugby ladies preparing to get on the Tank's Bus after the Dragon's game.  
I actually met Sam for the first time when Miami U played Scioto Valley.  I hated her so much because she was so good and I couldn't tackle her.  Then she started playing for DARC and I no longer hated her because I learned that she is an AMAZING rugger and person!
Awwwwe.  Rachel is the sweetest!
I love Nicole so very much.
KJ is another amazing person and I am so thankful to have her as a friend.
Stewy and I are classy 24-7-365.  You wish you could BE us.  
KT with future Wineaux Ladies....Like FAR in the future.
Tara with one of the Tikitown Dogs.  I don't remember which one.  They all barked a lot.

I can't believe people let us out together.
