VIRGINIA!!

I just got back from a 6-day trip to Virginia. Last year one of my best friends since 6th grade moved there when her dad lost his job. Since then I saw her once when she visited in October. We talked on the phone occasionally, but nothing felt the same. So me and two other friends decided to go visit her. Originally, it felt like wishful thinking, like we would never actually get there. Somehow, though, everything worked out and we had an AMAZING time! We did so much while we were there, including taking a trip to a beach in North Carolina and visiting Washington DC. It was so nice to see Katie, but it was sad to say goodbye to her yet again. The four of us decided that we want to take a trip together next summer, but my chances of seeing Katie again before then are EXTREMELY small. I just hope that we are able to keep in touch as well as we have when we are both off in college.
