The Reunion

So, it was my 10 year high school reunion this past weekend. I went home to Biggar on Friday night, met up with a couple of my girlfriends, and was off to the first function - and re-aquantaince at the local bar (what else). There were fewer people there than I expected, but that was ok. Most of the people that were not there had a *stick up their butt* about coming, so it was probably better they didn't show. I kinda thought that it was pretty silly to have such an attitude 10 years later - get over it - but that is some people for you. The evening was filled with socializing, drinking, and of course relocating to a locals for a house party. A lot of people didn't even recognize me or had to do a double take. I think that was a good thing, as most people said I looked awesome. That made me feel good.

It is interesting to watch and see how everyones' life takes different turns. Other than myself and a few of my girlfriends everyone has a brood of about 2 or 3, and a few were pregnant. So as you might imagine I got many lessons in birthing, breast feeding, child rearing, you name it. It was definitely a good source of birth control. That should last me.....well, for the rest of my life I think.

The Saturday functions revolved around golf mid-morning, an afternoon school tour, and a BBQ down in the valley. I even managed to squeeze some play time in there with my nephew.

The golfing was horrendous. I had only previously golfed once, and that was in high school. Melanie, Susan and I did a Texas Scramble and did alright. I really don't think that I will golf again if I can help it. It really isn't for me. However, it was fun with the girls cuz we weren't serious about it and it was all in fun.

The school tour was really good. It kinda made me feel a little jipped about my education now with all the sweet stuff the new school has. Our school was torn down a few years after I graduated. It must say, it was kinda a dump. And I believe it was kinda condemned while we were in school. But it was still our school, and I kind miss seeing it there.

The BBQ was a quiet affair, other than the 15 kids running around all over the place. I think people were pretty exhausted from the evening before and were takin' it a little easier on Sat. night. It was interesting to see all the kids and just how much they all looked like their parents. I went to school with most of these people from K-12 so I remember what they looked like long ago, and it is kinda creepy to see their children be the spitting image of them. The evening ended relatively early around 10.

As for Sunday I need to get in some quality time with the neice and nephews. I went over early to my brothers - around 10:30. Kevin was anxious to play Gem Quest again. We did attempt to play on Sat., but we were short on time. We got the game for Kevin on his birthday (April 7th), and he hadn't even opened it yet. He was waiting to be able to play it with me. So we got playing it again on Sunday with my brother. It is a pretty awesome game; pretty complicated in the beginning, but Kevin caught on right away. We can't wait to play it again.

I also got to see my new little nephew. Well, new as in 6 weeks, and little as in he is technically still a newborn, however he already weighs 13 lbs I think. Mackenzie, my neice was the little sweet devil she always is. We played a game of squirt the spray bottle into one anothers mouth. She is such a doll.

I headed back home mid-afternoon, dropped my gramma off at home and finished off my weekend with some relaxing CoH. All in all, a busy fun weekend.
