class reunion

OMW! I had my 20 yr class reunion this past weekend. WHAT A BLAST! Well over half the class participated! I did not go to the football game Friday night cuz I had to be up at 6 on Sat AND it would be 3 trips back home in 3 days! I am SO SORRY that I did not go! There were tons of ppl there! I did however make it in time for the tour of the new high school. WOW! Talk about PAMPERED!LOL It was fun walking thru tho and remembering who our teachers were and seeing ones still there!LOL Ithink alot of us walked down memory lane there! Then to the family picnic. Again, it was so awesome to see everyone's little ones! Our class president (who I see often) has her pics in ziploc baggies by event dating back to forever! Pics of us at her 6yr bday party!LOL THAT was a blast as well!

Then to the dinner Sat night. Wow.........so much fun. It started at 6 and I was at the nametag table so I didn't get a seat. So we (Dh and I) went in and it was time to eat and he told the class pres that he was going to sit by her DH!LOL Which worked out great. We wound up sitting together w/another guy that we went K-12 w/ and SWORE that he would never set foot back in Lapel. ANd said that he didn't decide to come to this reunion, but we started in on facebook! So it was fun catching up. He brought his practice basketball shoes!ROTFL! But the class pres had a waffle fry from 1986. It hadn't molded. And ppl regularly eat that stuff.......but I digress. We were supposed to be out by and it was 1:30-2 when we left! We talked ALL NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I even told the high school jock what I thought of him then ! I really should try to hunt him down adn apologize......

But so many memories and our spouses were great about the whole thing--since they were ignored most of the night! As I told someone, I can see him ALL t he time, I haven't seen most of those ppl in 10 years! Besides, he was at the rejected spouse table w/the others!ROTFL! They tried to say that it was the coolest spouse table......LOL

And I must've been way ugly in high school. Cuz ppl seemed geniunely shocked at how I looked! I was hearing things like, you look gorgeous, so pretty, amazing, etc. Oh well.........I knew it all along!ROTFL! No really everyone did look great. And it was so fun to hear what alot of them were doing now!

The one guy who swore that he'd never come back is now a criminal defense atty. We did this 'awards ceremony' (more to find out what had been going on in our lives the last 20 years) and one award was supposed to be for Brad. So they asked who had been arrested 2 or more times. TWO ppl stand up! One was a really good friend of the defense atty in HS. 3 or more times? they both remain standing. 4 or more times? They both remain standing. 5 or more times. BRAD SITS DOWN! I was ROLLING at the irony of it! There was the guy arrested the most times sitting next to the criminal defense atty!ROTFL!!!!!!!!!! And they were apparently minor offenses, all cleared up and he's got a job, gorgeous wife and a 4mo!

It was just so nice to see everyone smiling and having such a good time. I know we all spend over half of our time laughing. There was laughter everywhere........
