High School Reunion


This past weekend was my dreaded 10 year high school reunion.  I have been fretting over it for months now - not the attending part but the planning aspect.  You see, in high school I, along with the BFs Courtney and Irish, thought it would be a super great idea to run for class officers (let's be honest here, it was just another chance to boss people around).  It was fun then without giving any regard to the fact we would have to plan our first reunion.  Luckily, all turned out well and I even had a great time.  I'm sure it had something to do with my high confidence level as I had I worn my retainer and lifted 3 lb weights the whole week before in preparation.

Friday night we attended our high school's homecoming game.



 Irish was my date because Beau got stuck at work late.  Every time someone asked where he was I would say, "Oh, we're going through a bitter divorce."  Once an ample amount of awkwardness had past I followed up with the truth.


 At one point in the game I realized I had no clue what the score was because I had spent the whole time talking.  Apparently, nothing has changed since high school.


 Since Beau was gone I hussed it up with all my former male classmates.  I'm kidding, Mother.

 
 Saturday night we had dinner in Hot Springs.  You see that casual Columbia jacket my date/husband is wearing?  It almost caused WWIII.  And just like the previous world wars, the British dude won and the German lost (at least I am pretty sure that is some of my bloodline- I was told my dad's mom's family was from Germany).

 I think this is the only picture of the three of us dressed up for the evening or I would have posted another.  I look like a vulture with those shoulder things and hunched over.  At least my cute shoes are showing.

 After dinner we went back to our country roots and had a bonfire.

 Jamie was the other girl who we worked with to plan the reunion.  All-in-all, I think the four of us did a good job, well at least we had fun.  We also found another classmate who says they'll plan the next reunion (THANK GOODNESS!)
