OH MY GOSH. I am in SO much shock. My friend--best!--from Illinois just totally randomly called me and was like "Do you know who this is?"

RACHEL. Wow. Blast from the past. I haven't spoken with her for TWO years nearly to the date. Everything in her life has changed and it's sent me on this whirlwind journey tracing how drastically mine has.

And THEN she tells me that Joanna is married. And has a kid. Dear God! Life is totally changing in the world and I'm... just in shock.

I'm seriously past words right now. I've gotta go meditate. I just don't know how I can describe the elation more perfectly. Wow.
