This is Joy. We have known each other for as long as I can remember. We sat next to each other in Sunday school and sang off-key together in church Christmas pageants. We were together during the culottes, big hair, and acid-washed jeans years. We worked at Chick-fila-A together as teenagers and danced around in our bell-bottomed uniform pants and black high-top Reeboks. I loved Joy through her clogging days and her Cher obsession. And she loved me though my home-perms and whale-trainer aspirations. Although we never followed through, we spent many a day dreaming of travel and big adventure and saving our pennies in jars labeled "Bahama Cruise" or "Trip to Graceland".
(It was a simpler time.) ;0)
Thanks to my sweet hubby, Joy and I will finally have the chance to live out an adventure- She is coming to Japan! Hank surprised me with this wonderful gift for my birthday! I just love that man! Joy arrives on October 5th and we have a whole week to visit, explore, relax and just be! I can hardly wait! Maybe I can convince her to give me a home perm while she is here. :0)
Japan or Bust!
