A Cool Encounter

[Veronica]

I was out running this morning and ran into a Marine, also running. He recognized me from when he was in 5th grade - in 1998. He was in the other class of 5th graders. I guess I haven't changed all that much in 13 years. :p

Whoa.

Did you recognize him before he introduced himself? Some 13 year age spans change us a lot ... others not so much. :D

That's really cool.

You were teaching the other 5th grade class, right? Hmm, now I'm thinking these 5th grade boys must often have a crush on teacher. :)

No, I would not have recognized him if he hadn't introduced himself.

Yeah, but I would have expected him to have one on HIS teacher. She was really cute and young. :D

pretty neat however it came about.

I was twenty pounds heavier than I am now and wore my hair really short. Now I look at those picture and wonder, "What was I thinking?"

weight loss and hair styles do not count in my opinion. We have all looked at old photos and thought the same.
