We thought we should provide some background on our friendship and how this blog came into existence. The friendship began with our families becoming neighbors on Gardendale Drive back in the early 1990s.
From being the big friendly giants as we towered over the rest of our dance class....
To having tea parties (our British influence started early)....
And, everyday with out fail, riding bikes to meet at the stop sign (the half way point between their house...and coincidently where this blog got it's title!)
Sadly, when Laura Grace and Alison were about to start 3rd grade, the Campbell family made a sad move to the DC area. From there, they visited as often as possible and the two families vacationed together. The everyday encounters quickly ceased, but the friendship had only just begun.
Friendship has lasted through the awkward years and the beach trips together....
And visits to DC for the Carroll/Campbell families to reunite...thankfully we all stayed close through the years.
Now, with Alison attending Georgia Tech and calling Atlanta home...and Laura Grace studying at Wake Forest but making trips back to Nashville often...the distance is not bad and weekend visits are often do-able!
Alison visited Wake, almost as soon as we started college, and we enjoyed a day out on a nearby lake!
During a weekend Laura Grace spent at Tech, we re-enacted meeting at the stop sign.
Right after Georgia Tech Volleyball beat UNC...celebrating the win!
Sporting our animal hats during a weekend in Atlanta!
During a weekend in Nashville, revisiting "poor people"...our childhood home that was two stories and allowed us to fish in the creek without leaving the tree house!
...So this is the history of our friendship that has lasted 21 years (and many more to come!) and as we traveled Europe together this summer, we decided a blog would be a great way to update each other and anyone else on what is happening with our lives after all these years. We hope the adventures keep on coming!
xoxo
