Veronica and I were Resident Advisors together at the University of Arizona. When we weren't policing student behavior, we were playing cards, laughing, sharing stories and telling jokes. I graduated and left Tucson for Phoenix and Veronica and I remained in touch for about a year or so. Fast forward 14 years and the advent of FB and reconnection with the Tucson clan, of which Veronica was one. We e-mailed and did some minor catching up, filling in some of the gaps of the past decade and then some. She was in town a couple of months ago, but we couldn't coordinate our schedules.
Imagine my delight last week when a post appeared on my FB wall that Veronica would be in town for the Thanksgiving weekend and would I be free to meet up?
Heck yes!
So, today was the day and Wildflower Bread Co. was the place.
Within seconds I saw that Veronica is still the awesome person I knew her to be. She radiates positive energy and I felt it with her generous bear hug right in the middle of the parking lot (thank goodness for no oncoming traffic!).
It was just like old times, without the dorm walls, students or a deck of cards. We joked and filled in the gaps even more. We laughed and teased and noshed and even squeezed in a little shopping. As you can see, she's gorgeous as ever and she also a very accomplished woman in the tech world--quickly judging my Canon Digital SLR but unwilling to pony up one of her supposedly better Sony cameras, LOL.
The two hours we had RACED by and I know I could have chatted for more. She's back in December and we are committed for another get together and more hang time. Great to see you, Vero!
