My beloved TaryAnn is coming all the way from Australia to visit! Well, she’s visiting the States and is stopping in for a night with John and I. TA was my roommate in my second year at LaGrange College. I roomed with a wonderful girl named Kathy for my first year, but TA was better. She was engaged to my best friend from high school at the time, so we became good friends. I was even one of her bridesmaids at her wedding. Unfortunately, the marriage dissolved, but afterwards she met the love of her life. He just happened to live in Aussie-land. They fell head over heels for each other, and she moved across the world for him. I wish I could have been at that wedding too. Anyway, she and I used to laugh ourselves to sleep doing stupid shit in the dorms at night. Fake fart contests that would keep the poor girls across the hall awake, telling stories, crawling in and out of the windows… etc. She actually lived in the basement at my parent’s house for a summer so she wouldn’t have to move to Arkansas with her mom. That’s why we call her the basement monster. Since Meggie is my real sister, TaryAnn is my other sister. Since she lives a few continents away, I don’t get to see her unless she is able to visit here. She’ll be here April 8th.! I have no idea how she’ll get here now though, since I don’t think she has directions or anything. She may not even have my cell number. Anyway, I’m just so happy she’s coming that I had to share.
