snowing in july.
a little over five years ago, my friend scott sent me the link of a blog he enjoyed reading. i have no idea how he found this blog, but it was the words of a twentysomething writer living in boston. i immediately became a devoted reader.
this blogger's name is heather snow, and we began a friendship of correspondence that year. in 2004, she came to nashville on a business trip, and we spent a night out on the town together. and i fell in real-friend love with her then. soon after, i found myself in the boston area for vicky's wedding (hi vicky!), and got to spend a day on walden pond with heather and her now-husband, dennis. once again, i was amazed at the power of blogland. here we were: friends.
this week, heather and dennis have moved to austin. seriously. we have seen them a few times this year as they've made their plans, but now, they're here! tonight, we're going out for the best burger in town (casino el camino, of course), and tomorrow, we get to help them paint their new house.
clearly, i am a happy bananie. it is really lovely to have someone i knew apart from my life in texas suddenly become such a big part of it. and the wonderfilled parts of me are jumping for joy. i mean, what are the chances that a random blog link from years ago would become a neighbor and joy?
welcome home, heather and dennis. we hope y'all stay awhile.
pee ess don't forget the gunther pickles memorial fund.
