Long Lost Friends

Well today, I recieved a call, that you just don't get every day. There was a message at home of someone looking for a Noelia Martinez, the message was left by Stephanie, who asked me to call her back, and that it wasn't a sales call. SO this afternoon when I got home I called the number, and reached Stephanie, she asked me a few questions to verify I was the right Noelia. She had described me as having a father in the Army, having two younger sisters and a baby brother. She also verified that I moved to Germany in the 6th grade. I told her that I was the person she was looking for, and at first my brain wasn't working, as it took me a while to register who I was talking to. We had a brief conversation, and decided we'd talk more later today. When we spoke later this evening, I asked Stephanie her middle name, and then I knew exactly who was on the other end of the line. Stephanie and I lived down the street from each other in Ft Campbell Ky. We knew each other from the 3rd grade to 6th. I was very interested in asking a lot of questions, and my mind just bounced out of order, with whatever came to mind next. Now this might not seem that big of a deal for most of you, to get a call from a friend you knew in the 3rd grade, but since we are both Army Brats, I can guarantee you it doesn't happen everyday. I will give you credit that with today's Internet, it's probably not that hard. But it's not something I was expecting to happen today. I'm glad that it did, I think it's so cool. As for Stephanie she doesn't really live that far, Brad thought it was probably 6 hours to the city she lives in. So why did Stephanie decide to give me a call today? Well, Stephanie came across an old photo of me, while helping her son do a family tree assignment. And guess what? Stephanie's son's birthday is the same as Colton's, but they are one year apart. How crazy? I look forward to speaking with her again.
