20th Reunion-Post Script

Well it went off without a hitch. Whew!!! It went so well that I had people wanting to do a 25 year reunion. They don't to wait until 30. I have to admit...if you didn't have a good time Friday and Saturday night you just weren't trying. Seriously.

Friday night was held at Spinnaker Beach Club and it was just a meet & greet. We had an area to ourselves and our own bartenders but everyone paid for their food and drinks. And as I expected some of the naysayers that weren't going to pay to come to the actual reunion had so much fun on Friday that they paid the at the door price for Saturday.

Saturday night was held at the Panama Country Club. We got up early, well it was supposed to be early but ended up being about 11am before we really got started, and decorated. I am rather biased but I thought it was beautiful.





Then for some strange reason I decided that I was going to invite some classmates over for a pre reunion party. Just a couple of cocktails...what was I thinking?? Very impromptu and everyone had a good time seeing each other prior to the craziness of a reunion started.


All the 1989 graduates who came over prior to the reunion. My best friends since 8th grade: Aimee (standing behind the guy in the white and green striped shirt) and Alisha (standing in front of Joe who is in the back in the blue shirt) are in this picture. I love, love, love these girls. I only wish I could see them more often.



Joe & Tracy Hubbard-Thank goodness for Tracy, not only is she the wonderful wife of my classmate Joe but she helped me get ready for the pre-reunion party and most of all...drove three slightly (taken very, very loosely) intoxicated reunion revelers home in the wee hours of the morning. I knew saying yes to Joe when he asked if he and Tracy could stay with me would end up being a very good idea.



Me, Amy & Suzanne "The Committee"



I love this picture of Jon...of course he hates it. What is up with that??!!



Of course he'll hate this one too...



And this one but I really like it


Way later in the evening and the only reason I dare post it considering how non-sober I look is to show my friend Joe. For all he knew it could have been a really nice photo he was messing up with his juvenile display. Where was Tracy when I really needed her?? :) Of course this was not the only juvenile display going on at the reunion by this time... I haven't even mentioned the karaoke that started at about 10pm.

We were eventually (the entire group) asked to leave. I mean really??? I realize that we had the country club from 7-11pm and it was almost 1am before everyone finally got out of there but ask us to leave?? Just kidding, everyone NEEDED to go home. I heard someone say it was like herding cats. No one wanted to leave. Including myself. I could have watched Jon attempt to sing "Moondance" all night.

20th Reunion-One Week Out

My 20 year reunion is this coming weekend, July 17-18. I am finally looking forward to it. It has basically been a one woman reunion committee (with yours truly being the committee) and yesterday I think I have gotten all my ducks in a row. Only a few things still need to be finished but I believe I have all my bases covered. I wanted to have the majority of things done because I know something always comes up that isn't planned. Last night I finished the name tags. Woah! How we have changed!



Jon and my Senior Portraits...all I can say for mine is "HOLY HAIR"!!! My hair is naturally curly and I straighten it now. I don't think I could replicate this hairstyle if I tried.
