Blast from my past

So an old friend of mine from high school, well actually I was her prom date, but out of the blue, she manages to get a hold of me. And to many things worked out for this reunion of souls to be just chance. I not only got my laptop and internet on the same day she got a hold of me, but it was Valentines Day too. So fo rthe past couple days we've been exchanging long messages via facebook, getting caught up on where the last 17 years went. And when I  really sat down and plotted out how I got from graduation to here, well it was quite an eye opener, which has fueled my desire and need for this new career. I don't know how to feel or react. I'm excited to talk to her, to read her messages and learn what's going on in her life. Its like being in high school all over again, only I'm not the sheltered, and way over-protected ubber geek this time around. I believe the saying is "Older, Wiser  and Well Trained." Downside, she is married with 4 kids, and while yes I do have a past with married women, nothing good ever came from it. And I am in no way asking her to do anything of the sort, we're in 2 seperate states, with one in between. But it more than quick comfortable friendship, based on a crazy time before drugs and women jaded me. I do find myself wondering what could have been, but that will never happen, so I try and focus on the what will be. These things take time, and like the good job at Boeing, this isn't happening overnight.
