Class Reunion?

Today was a fun day. Adie and I planned to go to lunch with Kara today. I was excited to see them both, but little did I know it would be a CHS class reunion! I showed up and it ended up being Adie, Kara, Cheridan, Phyllis and Amberlee. What fun! I guess Adie called the others this morning and pulled together an impromptu gathering. It was really great to see them and some of their cute kids.
It's crazy to think we are all the same age, yet Cheridan and Phyllis both have five children, and Adie, Kara & Amberlee have three each. Wow, what the heck have I been doing?! Anyway, we laughed a lot, reminisced and got caught up. We had such a great group of friends growing up and in high school. We were always out and about trying to find some fun adventures. We went to Bear Lake in the summers, Mesquite for Spring Break, and Teasdale (Capital Reef National Park) for our Senior trip. I loved those years! A few years after we'd graduated however, we'd all kinda gone our separate ways. I began to believe the things my brother Weston used to tell me about how we were only friends because of geographics. I started thinking we really didn't have a lot in common and were just meant to be good friends during my adolescent years. We'd still try and get together every year for a Christmas party, but sometimes I felt like we were all just so different. It wasn't until a few years ago I realized how much fun we still had. This last December, we all met up at Karen's house for our annual party and it was then I really knew we weren't only friends just because we'd grown up together. We are all girls trying to do the best we can in life. We have so much fun together and a connection that takes us back to our childhood! I'm so glad we've remained friends and I really believe we will for life. :)

Here are a few pics from our ten-year (ahem) reunion. Yes, I know I look different, please don't point it out. HA!

Uh yeah. Why didn't you take a picture last night? And how come I am not a part of your high school existence? Doesn't biology mean anything to you?

Like I said, it was an impromptu lunch. I didn't think to bring my camera along!

Diggies, you were just a lowly sophomore when we were seniors. But yes, you were part of it, just in a lower way. I mean, I DID drive you to school sometimes. ;)

That's FUNNY .. I don't recall going to MESQUITE. Weird - it's like I WASN'T INVITED... ADIE!!!! :)

We are all friends for LIFE! Not because of location. I'm sure we're all trying to do the best that we can in life, but really we feel strength in doing that because we have each other as friends, and the support is always there.
