Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of shooting at my alma mater thanks to an old family friend. Brooke and I have known each other since we were little girls. Our moms are best friends and because Brooke is a couple of years older than me…I often got her hand-me-downs. Fast forward a few years and I followed Brooke to Peace College. I remember one day in particular that my mom and I took a day off from school to visit Peace and hand deliver my application. Brooke met up with us in the dining hall.

Over the past year, we’ve gotten together a few times (and probably would have gotten together even more had we not lived 30 minutes away from one another) so that the girls could play while we chatted. Let’s be honest,...
