Let's Stick to the Basics.: August 2007

My 10 year High School reunion was on Aug 10th. I was a little nervous going because I was by myself. All the friends I grew up with couldn't be there and I had already committed to going, so I went alone. Luckily when I got there, I saw Jenny Roland, and she eased my nerves. She looks really good and is soon going into training to become a flight attendant as her new adventure. She was tired of dental hygiene. I recognized a lot of people who I had forgotten about, a lot of people I didn't know were going to be there and there were also some people who I didn't expect to see.

Jenny decided to move her social skills elsewhere so I continued to walk around hoping to see someone to talk to...when I found...CASEY!!! I didn't expect to see her because she lived in Arizona. It just so happened that she was moving to Seattle that weekend so she was there! YEAH!! I was so glad to find a friend who I didn't expect and who I am so comfortable with! Thank you!!! She was with her sister and also sitting with Deanna (from gymnastics) and her husband who I have been in school with forever... Jake Mutschler! They are expecting their first baby soon and they are so cute and it was so good to see them!!

It was so good to be there and see so many people. There were a few people who I missed seeing, and a few who I didn't get pictures of. Barry Corse is married has one 2 mo old girl, living in Kentucky. John Siemssen is married 2 boys and living in Pennsylvania. Mike Brown was there with his wife, who's name escapes me (I'm sorry!!). She is beautiful and he is just as nice as ever! And of course the token famous person that has to be in each grade, Dan Dickau was there with his wife Heather. They both looked great, I don't know who he plays Basketball for currently. There were also the people who didn't come who I was hoping to see, but maybe not everyone cares to see people from their past and that is ok! Anyway...

After Reunion

I am so happy with where I am now, who I am married to and my children. I have a good life. It was not hard being there pregnant since there were so many others there as well. The socialization was good, the people all nice and memorable. I am glad I went!! I missed all my friends who couldn't come!

I forgot to take a lot of pictures at the picnic on Sunday but got a few that might be OK. Some people came who weren't there Friday, LOTS didn't come. Some didn't come who I thought would (Marci!!) But it was a good time and the children all played and it was fun.
