Reuniting

Most changed. Oldest child. Most kids. These were my superlative awards from my 10 year reunion this past Saturday night.

 

I didn't know why in the world someone would vote me Most Changed but the more I have thought about it, I  would have to agree. I actually care more about other people these days than myself and I'm not quite as self destructive as I once was.  I'm so glad those days are behind me, but I looked over my yearbooks again when I got home, read all the fun notes from year and year and I shed a couple of tears for that girl.  While that girl didn't miss a beat she wasn't very nice to be honest, and when I asked my peers Saturday "why did ya'll vote for me" ~ I heard in unison "YOUR ALOT NICER, and ALOT LESS DRUNK".... Well there ya go, I'm glad they are all honest.

 

It's so strange looking back and thinking about the people we once were and the people we are now.  Back then Miranda and I would have never shared a good chat about the then & now, we would have never taken the time to actually speak.  I actually do not think that we did speak much in high school at all and I've been asking myself WHY since I left Saturday night.  Her like most kids in the our class grew up with me, from Kindergarten and I lost touch with so many people by the time we made it to good ol' SHS in the Fall of 96 even though we still saw each other everyday.  Looking back now I can't remember for the life of me why exactly but I do know now that  regardless of what happened between us - these people impacted my life and have a special place in my heart filled with great memories.

 

Saturday night was only a small gathering of my peers but it was truly a great night to add to the memory banks.  I am so happy that I caught up with my not only some of my dearest friends and those that I wasn't so close to at the end.  Looking forward to another gathering in 15 years with a little less chaos!

 

Thank you Miranda, Brad, Joe & Randall for letting me participate on the committee and making our night great!
