Class Reunion of 1978 was BLAST!!!

Sunday, Sept. 28th update: I went to the festivities last night as well. Like Friday night, it was a blast. Lot's of 70's music being played in the background to keep us all back in time!! Still amazed at how good everyone looked. There were lots of posters, signs and pictures of the good ole days at Western High School. Lots of dancing (NOT ME THOUGH) and good food. There was a large blue, red & white cake for us to enjoy, I enjoyed the chocolate w/ chocolate cream filled. We are going to try and have a once a year informal get together. What was crazy, it did not seem like 30 years had passed.... it's like we all just picked up where we left off. I took a moment to sit and watch all my ole classmates laugh and talk and dance ... it was so enjoyable...
I wanted to absorb every minute. I am so lucky. Thank you again Kim for coming to sit w/ Magoo. I really wish Mike could have been there.

I had the time of my life last night!!!! I am so glad my sister really pushed me to go. She was so kind to come over after a long day of prosecuting creepy criminals to watch my little "toddler tornado". Oh, I did put a watch on after this pic was taken.... you can see my watch line.

I felt like a teenager again ~ it was like we went back in time!!! Everyone looked so wonderful and exactly like they were in high school. I could have stayed thru the night!

Honestly, we all couldn't believe we were at our 30th class reunion. The ONLY thing that everyone kept doing as we exchanged our "I'm a person" or business cards, was to pull the card way out and struggle to read the gosh darn thing! Uh....it was so funny. Welllll, in our defense ... it was not the best lighting in the place.

It was kind of like my wedding day... there were soo many fun people to talk to ... but you didn't have time to visit with any one person too long and you didn't want to miss talking to someone.
Crazy. Sometimes you would be talking to someone, then someone else would come along and tap you on your shoulder right in the middle of a conversation... it was nuts!!

When I was in school, I had a bad habit of never wearing my shoes (sorry mom) ... I always took them off and carried them on my finger. Well, my feet were killing me last night because I am not used to wearing adorable high heeled shoes. So, if I were standing there just talking, I would just step out of my shoes and visit comfortably and maybe a couple times I walked around with them off. People totally remembered that I was the barefoot queen.

I will come back w/ more fun details ... but you know how I was worrying because I need to lose those nasty 15 to 20 lbs .... well, everyone made me feel so good last night that I totally forgot about it! I am such a "momster" these days. If I hadn't gone, it's because I felt fat and I didn't want anyone to see me that way. How silly... what a mistake that would have been.

Really and truly, even way back then, I knew I went to school with the greatest bunch of kids. A lot of these people I went to Elementary and Jr. High with as well.

The only thing that would have made the night better, was if Mike could have come. He could not get the night off *sad face* ... a couple of the other Sergeants were on leave.
