Kassandra and I met only a few years ago. We were in a "PBIS Coaching" training related to the Compassionate Schools project. There were points in the discussion as we sat in groups with our colleagues that we caught each other eye across the table and I think we both knew that we had very similar thinking processes and ideas. We spoke on the break and our friendship grew from there.
She has an affinity for some of the same things as I do... Netflix marathons, great music, chicken fingers, and talking at a speed that few other people can keep up to. When we collaborate on projects, things fall into place very quickly and we can get a policy written or a plan in place within mere minutes when we are in a distraction free environment. I have enjoyed having someone that can keep up, and often pass me with overthinking. However, we have learned that her daughter Sadie, has a strong genetic tie with her mama; and often gives her mum and I a real run for our money. There was one car ride we did from Montreal to the administrator meetings an hour north of the city. During that car ride, we had to negotiate taking turns talking with Sadie, who was probably only 2 or 3 at the time.
We've only known each other for a couple years but we were fast friends. Feels like I have known her much longer than I have. And here's to many more speedy talks and maybe even jam sessions if she can find herself another uke. (Internet is acting up, so all I could upload was one photo. She's way more skilled at the #twofies so actually this isn't a bad thing since the two other pics I considered uploading had her looking ultra-photogenic and I was meh, or shall we say, 'present'.)
