It doesn’t have to be a wedding!
This November I am “hosting” I guess you could say my High School 10 Year Reunion! It was almost a year ago now that the class President (and close friend of mine) asked our classmates if anyone was interested in planning it. As you could imagine the response came back void.
Again she asked if anyone would be interested in planning it. Again no reply. Ok, ok…I get it I am a planner, I will do it. Jessica merely suggested it but I took the bait. Stupid??? Yes and no. It is alot more work than I thought tracking down 176 people…about 170 of which I have lost touch with. But, in the end its been good for me.
With everything else going on in my life I have squeezed it in and its made me more aware of what those 170 people have been up to and it’s made me appreciate where I came from and where I am going.
High School can be an awesome or scary memory but a 10 Year Reunion is an adventure. Who cares “who’s who” anymore. Who cares who is not married, who is chubby, who is still in their home town, who cares who moved an hour away because they didn’t want to be that far away from home but wanted to be…away from home. (That last one is me if you couldn’t tell.) WHO CARES! We are all people trying to live our lives and having a ball doing it.
I am looking forward to this reunion and I hope my other 1999 classmates are too. We are all just getting so big!
