A is for ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

A real life friend and fellow-blogger, Artemis (she actually got me started blogging) has challenged herself to blog more often. To complete this challenger she has to write something for each letter of the alphabet. Because we had both nearly given up on blogging, Artemis challenged me with this adventure as well. I am taking her up on it since I know I need to blog. It’s good for the soul.

So, I am starting with A and A is for Artemis. I have known this lovely lady since we were both in first grade together. I don’t remember much of her from then, because I was too involved in having a crush on the boy sitting next to me (Oh Jeremy). Jeremy had poor spelling skills and a maroon coat. What more could a first grade girl want? I also watched Frank eat paste. I know Artemis (aka Cassie) remembers Frank. We all do.

Cassie and I continued to be nonchalant friends until around sixth grade. This is when our friendship blossomed and we became a trio with another blogger, Vicky. This trio continued on until high school when we wound up with a much larger group of friends. During this time, Cassie and I had our difference-big differences. For some reason, Cassie and I liked to argue about dumb things neither of us had control over, the weather, the thermostat at her parents’ house, etc.

However, many years have passed since we were those young, insecure, silly girls. Now we’re just a little bit older. I still feel insecure, silly, and sometimes young. But Cassie has grown into a wonderful woman. She is stronger than she knows. She is passionate about major aspects of her life, photography, children, her new nephew, her family. She has not let things stand in her way- for long. So, Cassie thanks for the challenge and thanks for being my friend. It has been a pleasure-most of the time. ;o)
