Casablanca Friends ~ Reunite

When I first moved to Calgary in 1996, I started working at Casablanca Video. I worked there for 4 years and had a wonderful time since it was such a fun working enviornment and I love movies so much. All of the staff there hung-out together often...little did I know then that having this job would bring me many life-long friendships.

I met Kelly (Carson) Macdonald at Casablanca when she was only 16 years old. Her and I have became great friends and have remanined close ever since. She was one of my Bridesmaids, now our kids play together and we see each other on a weekly basis...I love having such a close friend as Kelly.

Kelly & I have always wanted to find some of our old friends from Casablanca and see what they've been up to. So Kel tracked down the DeCecco family who still own the video store. Kelly had us all over on Friday night to catch-up since it's been at least 5 years since we had seen each other.

We had a great time at Kelly & Ross's, thanks for having us over... you put on a scrumptous spread. We all visited and looked at old photo albums from our time working at Casablanca...they brought back great memories and we had some good laughs! Everyone was great with the kids too!

Hopefully we can get together again soon and meet up with some more old Casablanca friends! Thanks again Kel for setting this up, I had a great time!
