Has it Really Been 10 Years?

Whew what a week!  I am not quite sure when our how I made it to Friday, but the good news is that I did. The even better news is that I have 2 completely unplanned days laying just ahead of me.  I am thinking we will fill those days with some lake time, river time, or pool time....aka sunshine and water...aka my happy place.  

Hawk says the pool will do just fine this weekend.

I took the plunge and purchased our tickets for, get ready for this.....my 10 year high school reunion.  YIKES!  I still can't believe I am old enough to go to a 10 year high school reunion.  I guess I thought I would feel like I was a little more mature that I do.  I mean yeah I'm married, we have our own home, and I work a great job, but lots of some days I feel like I am a kid playing pretend.  I keep wondering when the day will come that I think it's completely inappropriate to drive with my feet up on the dash, or feel like I have to sit with both feet on the floor in my work chair (I can't do it), or think prancing down the hallway is off the table (guilty...am I the only one who fights a daily urge to do a cartwheel down the empty hallway at my office?).  I think that I have a real future helping the prancercise lady market her videos.

I am looking forward to going to my reunion.  I feel like I have changed a lot, but at the same time I haven't changed THAT much.  I would like to think that I am a little less annoying than I was then (maybe?), but I am still the same genuine person I have always been.  I would hope that I have grown into my looks.  I was a string beanish tomboy who played basketball and ran track (but was only out there to stay in shape for basketball- I have the hurdle scars to prove it).  I have been 5'10" since I was 14 and was always played sports so I never put any weight on.  Looking back, I was crazy skinny but never thought I was. I have learned how to apply makeup (for the most part) and no longer look like a ghost when I put it on.  As far as my hair goes, I could only improve from how it was back then.  I wore my hair in a ponytail EVERY DAY-except for picture day- from the time I was in 6th grade until about halfway through my junior year when I discovered the straightening iron.  It has been my best hair friend every single day since.  I am pretty sure I wore tearaway warmup pants with basketball shorts under them and a t-shirt at least once a week, and stuck to jeans the rest of the time....no wonder I didn't have a boyfriend. I guess what I am trying to say is THANK GOODNESS facebook didn't exist from 2000-2003. =)

I hate to admit it but if it weren't for facebook I am pretty sure I would not know a single thing about any of my classmates.  I have pretty much lost touch with everyone.  Will this be a time to rekindle some old friendships?  Maybe.  Would we be going if my parents had not just moved back there?  Not sure.  I think it will be fun to take Eric to my old stomping grounds to see where I went to school.  We live where he grew up so we're always around where he came from and the people he went to school with.  Plus I will get to show him off....who doesn't want to show off their studly husband at the reunion. =) =) =)

Have a great weekend!
