How We Know Each Other: Ashley & Meghan

I thought it'd be fun for us to do some posts about how everyone in our little group knows each other, and since I have known Ashley the longest I figured I would start with her:

Ashley and I met in junior high when I was in 7th grade and she was in 8th grade.  We were both in the orchestra together (violins all the way, baby!) so we spent the rest of our junior high/high school careers having our 4th/5th hour schedule being the same, as that was always the orchestra/lunch block.  While my memories of this time are fuzzy, I do remember that we always got along, but we never really hung out together outside of orchestra functions.  (She WAS a whole grade older than me though!)

We reconnected through Facebook on July 9, 2009 (at 9:27 pm.....thank you, FB timeline).  We were both still living in the Blo-No area.  I was a newlywed, whereas Ashley had been married and was already the mother of 2 little boys.  2010 was really the year we bonded, as we both were pregnant, and due within days of each other (although Ashley had to show me up by birthing Lucia early!)  As luck would have it, we both had little girls, and our friendship was officially sealed.  Carley and Lucia have been having playdates since they were about 2 weeks old, and Ashley and I have been texting/emailing/calling each other relentlessly ever since!
