Feeling sentimental

I'm listening to a CD with some of my favorite songs on today. One of them reminds me so much of my dear friend, Ally. She's probably one of the coolest people I've ever met, and we became close friends within just a few days. We met while we were both studying at the University of Oregon. We had so much fun during that time, and I remember I was soooooo sad when she was going to move back to Bethesda, Maryland.

There's a song called "I'll miss you" by Frente that perfectly describes it. I thought I'd share it with you.

The picture is from my 25th birthday when she suprised me with a homemade gift. Check out the John Cusack poster!
