"Did You Know?" #5

It seems like our "Did You Know?" series are pretty well received, so we think it'll be an on going thing for us from now on!

Well, for those of you who have been following our blog for a bit, you probably know that Eva and I are good friends that have known each other for a while. But did you know for how long exactly? It took us a while but we dug up what is most likely one of the first pictures of us "together".


As you can see from the date stamp, this was back in 1997!! Eva and I were in different church youth groups at the time but our groups had a joint outing to Longwood Gardens. Can't really say we got to know each other well at that point though, probably were more acquaintances. But boy do we look YOUNG in this picture!!

It wasn't till we met again after college when the churches that we attended had combined that we got to know each other better and found out we had really similar personalities and design tastes! I'm sure if you asked us back in 1997, we would have never imagined we would become such good friends and business partners.

And there is an extra little treat for many of our readers that know Lisa from expandng, because she is in this picture as well! If you don't know her or have never read her blog, go check it out, she is awesome!

Is there anyone in your life that you have known for a while but didn't become good friends with till after a long period of time?

  1. I think that trip was fun, right? It's awesome how we've known each other for so long but not really get to know one another til our adult years. And now you and Eva are business partners, wowee!

  4. That is so cool! I love that you reconnected after so many years. Facebook has helped me connect with others I probably would have not connected with otherwise.

    1. Yeah, I have reconnected with some of my classmates from Malaysia that I probably wouldn't have been able to without FB!

  5. That's so cool you've known each other (and Lisa!!!) for that long! I was born in St Louis, but moved to Boston when I was in middle school. Only within the last 5 years have I reconnected with a handful of friends from my StL days (thank you, Facebook!).

    1. It is so hard to keep in touch with old friends, but FB does make it much easier! So happy to hear from you Nilsa!
