No Greater Joy: Has It Really Been That Long?

Has It Really Been That Long?

Yup! Ten years ago I graduated high school, and this past weekend we had a reunion. Now, when it comes to high school reunions, there are usually a few different camps of people. Some people HATED high school and never want to have anything to do with it again. They would not even think to step foot into their reunion. Some people could take it or leave it. They've made new friends and reuniting with old ones is not on the top of their agendas. And some people are already thinking about the 10 year reunion the day they graduate high school. They would not miss it in a million years.

I would definitely say I'm a part of that last camp. However, when Cory was not going to be able to come with me because of work, I got a little nervous and thought about skipping. I mean, how lame am I to show up to my reunion alone. After all, high school reunions are to introduce your husband and show off your children, right?

Well, I had a couple of friends really encourage me to go, and I'm so glad I did. The kids and I started out the day going to a birthday party for a friend's little boy. Although Landry was in a very crabby mood, It was great to see some of my friends and their cutie-pie kids. Later that day, we went to another friends house with even more people and their kids. Seems like we've all been pretty busy since high school making little families. That night was the BIG affair. The DJ played music from our high school days. It made us feel like we were at one of our dances. The venue was decorated with memorabilia from our days at Barbe. We all talked and laughed and had a great time catching up. It was really a great night.

Here are a few pictures. These were taken by a friend's mom who was there. I totally planned on taking tons of my own pictures, but got to talking so much I didn't take a single one.
