In the next 5 or 10 years?
2 years, 2 months By Allyson

So I went to my reunion last night. I have to say that I'm really glad that I went. There were not a lot of us there. Only 20 RSVPs total. But it was fun seeing some of the folks that I went to school with ten years ago.
Had the same conversation again and again. Hi, how are you? What have you been up to? Do you have any kids? How long have you been married? Damn! Eight years?! You didn't waste any time did you? It was kind of funny. Ha ha. I had a lot of compliments on my dress! I got a few questions if I had talked with Michelle or Melissa lately. (Heather was there.) I did feel a little more comfortable once Heather showed up. Prior to that I hung out with Thom, talked to Ron Cain for a bit. And a few other folks.
Everyone was incredibly nice. Way more so than what I remember in high school. Ha ha. And you know I think it was somewhat genuine. Kind of like we've grown up in the last ten years.
Apparently I had a lot of guys eye-ing me. I was oblivious to this. But Thom and Coy said they noticed a lot of them looking Heather and m up one side and down the other. Which I'm still skeptical to believe, but okay. I'll take the compliment for what I can get. Ha ha.
In a way I'm kind of hoping that we won't wait ten years to do the next one. I was wondering before how come people were having them every 5 years now instead of 10. But now I think I'm starting to understand why. It seems like today you get so busy with your normal every day life its hard to get out and make friendships. So you turn to the folks that you went to school with. You may have had issues with them in the past, and felt like you had something to prove. But now that stuff doesn't seem to matter so much. Now it's more about finding bonds and relationships. And working to keep them up.
Did I make any new friendships in one night? No. But it was fun to talk with folks and catch up. I wish Michelle and Melissa would have gone. But then again I may not have ventured out to talk to the other folks if all of my old group had been there.
Some other side stuff. I drank several things that I had no idea what the heck they were. Thom drank many many drinks. Ha. I'm kind of sad that after all the months of anticipation its over now.
