15 years ago, I graduated from high school. Yeah, yeah, I know I'm old, blah, blah, blah. Tonight is my 15-year class reunion. Cue scary music from Psycho...horrific scream...and scene. While most people seem to dread their reunions, I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm excited to see people I haven't seen in many, many years, to see my friends that it seems like I only get to see when someone gets married or has a baby, to just enjoy time with those that I grew up with. What's even more exciting for me is the fact that 5 years ago I was way fatter than I am now. Take that 2007 Erin!
I kind of miss high school. Not all of the drama associated with being a teenage girl but just getting to hang out with my friends and really have no responsibility whatsoever. I grew up in small town Iowa so I knew everyone in my class. Heck, I pretty much knew everyone in the entire high school. I think that's what made my experience a decent one. Don't get me wrong...it had its ups and downs but I wasn't bullied, I didn't get into fights, and I didn't have social networking. But alas, I am now an adult (not necessarily a grown up judging by the beers I downed with my friends last night) and have my own set of responsibilities, not to mention a child to love and care for. For now, I'll just stick with reminiscing on all of the fun times I had.
It's certainly going to be one hell of a weekend. In addition to my reunion, Glenn's cousin gets married tomorrow afternoon so yet again more drinking, eating, and fun will commence. This is gonna wreak havoc on my diet. I'll pay for it on Sunday when I do my 3-4 mile run. Life is about enjoying what time do you have Earth and by god, I'm gonna live it up!
Awesome post, Erin! See you tonight!
