I just spent the past several hours on the phone with Chris and Marie (see my previous blog entries as to who they are).  Chris set it up as a conference call.  It turns out Marie lives even closer to me than I'd guessed.  Chris lives near Milwaukee, where I'll be starting college next month!!!

I had so much fun talking with them.  They are smart and funny and banter with each other in a sweet and amusing way.  Mostly they wanted to know about me.  It made me feel so special.

We still have to work out the details of our first meeting.  Chris said not only that I may keep blogging about all this, but that he "expects" me to do so.  I will write more as things progress.
