My Best Friend... In the 80s

I have mentioned a couple of times that one of my best friends in highschool, Jodie, moved to Alberta last year, for a boy.  Her and that boy got engaged 10 months ago and last weekend was her stagette.  It was an 80's party which included dinner, bowling and karaoke, many of my favorite things.  One of the things that really struck me was the small community and how they have really taken Jodie in as one of their own.  When we went around the table and talked about how we all know Jodie, I was one of the only out of towners and they all knew Jodie from hockey, whther they played on her team or they reffererred with her or their husband plays hockey with her husband, there was a huge group of ladies there and they all were so happy to celebrate with her.  Makes me happy to see her so happy, and so what seems like her element.

Did I mention it was glow in the dark bowling!

Not sure if this was one of the country songs sung at karoke (there was a lot of them.  Sometimes I can't believe I live in Alberta)
