31 Days to Become a Better Writer - Day 4

Today's Challenge:

Write a few sentences about anything. Then change the tenses like I did above. (present, past, future)

Present:
It's finally here! Today is the day I've been looking forward to ever since we made the decision to move back "home" to Abilene. You see, although we have been able to reconnect with various friends since our return, the nine of us have not been all together in about 2.5 years. Lauren is in town and we are having lunch together with Abby, Cody, Krystal, Mike, and Madeline! Six of us sat in classes together, shared jokes in the offices, celebrated engagements and weddings and passing the tests that those professors must have conspired together to worry us all during our days of seminary. The only thing that could make today even better is if Amanda and Paul could join us. I cannot wait to sit together around the table, to hear the trills of laughter, to share the warm hugs, to be part of the conversation. It is as if the pages of the calendar have not been ripped off. That is our friendship.

Past:
It had finally arrived! Today was the day I had been looking forward to ever since we had made the decision to move back "home" to Abilene. You see, although we had reconnected with various friends since our return, the nine of us had not been all together in about 2.5 years.

It was as if the pages of the calendar had not been ripped off. That was our friendship.

Future:
It's almost here! It will be the day I have looked forward to ever since we made the decision to move back "home" to Abilene. You see, although we have been able to reconnect with various friends since our return, the nine of us have not been all together in about 2.5 years.
