And now, on to the Class Reunion Recap...
This was actually the last part of my trip, but I might as well start with it while it's fresh in my mind. I got lots of great comments on my class reunion panic post but I like what Kathy C. had to say and had to add my own comments:
20 year reunions:
A. Usually have dim lighting, we all look good in dim lighting. - It was true! Lots of dim lighting - did they consult you??
B. Pretty much every guy will be nearly bald - Surprisingly, not so true. Some were a bit, but many still had some hair. And then there were several baseball caps on - do I assume those boys are bald underneath?
C. Just about every woman will have gained at least some weight since HS - True statement! Thank you! I did not feel so bad when I got there and felt pretty comfortable just being myself.
D. Most of the people who will be there are feeling the same way you are, so just relax and let them be nervous, LOL - I tried. Couldn't tell that anybody else felt that way, but I wasn't so nervous after I got there the first night and found several people that I knew.
E. Remember, the joy of the Lord makes us all look 10 years younger! :) - My favorite part and I think it is true! The reunion really did remind me to stop and thank the Lord for plucking me off the path I was heading in and putting me on the narrow path walking in the right direction (very slowly and stumbling!) He's amazing!!
Have fun! - I did, but my husband didn't! :)
Since my reunion was 2 nights, I didn't take my husband the first night. I was glad about that and so was he! I got to visit with lots of ladies and he would have felt left out. In fact, more than one of the spouses I met mentioned that they were a bit jealous of my husband. It's tough trying to be part of conversations that have nothing to do with you.
The first night of the reunion was fun and I talked to lots of people. Such a range of clothing from casual to dressy- I could have worn anything at all and it would have been fine! There was plenty of food, though I never broke away from conversations to go eat. And there was a DJ playing 80's music, but I didn't really go near that area.
The second day had some time at a local waterslide for families. There weren't all that many that turned out for it, but it was just right. My husband and son had a great time there! And we went to a park with some friends afterward, which was nice.
The second evening wasn't my favorite. I did enjoy some more visiting and saw a friend that hadn't been there the first night, which was great. Again with the huge range of clothing - jeans and t-shirts to cocktail dresses. The food was OK; the drinks were free; there was a band that was too loud! My poor hubby was so bored that night. Now please don't think poorly of him - he is a very friendly guy and gave it a good effort. I left him alone at the table far too many times. I finally put him out of his misery and we left early. We actually went out for dessert before heading home, so we had a mini date!
That was about it. I think I'm good for another 10-20 years, though I will be e-mailing a few people. Did I leave out anything that you desperately wanted to know?
AND...
Happy Birthday to my Wonderful Husband!!!
I love you!
I love you!
