What were you doing 10 years and four months ago?

I was graduating from High School!

I can't believe it has been 10 years! This past year or so, I knew that my high school 10 year reunion was right around the corner, which was a very strange thought. Part of me thought it would be weird to go and see those people again. What would I say to them? What would they think of the way I looked now (I have had 2 kids since then you know)? Would many people even go to it? Would it cost a lot of money? Would it be annoying for Craig to go with me since he didn't know anyone? What would I wear? You know, all those important details! There was also part of me that thought it would be fun to go and see all of those people again. What did they look like now? What had they done with the last 10 years? Who would be there? Who was married and to whom? Who had kids and how many? After much deliberation with myself and others, weighing the pros and cons, I had decided not to go. That was until Friday, when I received yet another text or two from Robby Noble, one of my best friends from high school, telling me to go because he was in charge of planning the whole thing after all. What kind of friend would I be if I didn't support him (he didn't say that, but I thought it). He also said that there was the option of just going to the dance/mingle after the dinner. That would cut the cost way down, and cut the time that we would be there (just in case we were having a horrible time). So . . . we went to the 10 year reunion and had a great time (Craig would probably say it was bearable, but I had a great time).

Scrap book pages that I made 10 years ago (see, they really do come in handy). Do you think we have changed much in the last 10 years?

It's funny how so much happens in 10 years, and yet when you meet back up with old friends it seems as if no time has passed at all, and you just pick up right where you left off. Hopefully I'll do better at keeping in touch with my friends from high school now instead of waiting to see them until our 20 year reunion(If I even go). By then, who knows how many kids I'll have and pounds I'll have gained! LOL!
