Reunion continued...


So...We sat there at the table until these two girls I sort of knew came in. They were twins and they came and chatted with us for a bit until more people got there. By that time, I didn't feel so bad but I still felt extremely awkward being there.
The people who walked through after that were people I wasn't really friends with in high school. If they wanted to chat I would've but I just sat there and kinda watched. I started off with a couple of beers then switched over to red wine. The girls you see in the pic below came in and I also saw Jen, Maria, Jenny, Heather, and Cindy. It was great seeing them but the rest of the crowd was not my crowd.
These were all the popular people I didn't know in high school but I recognized a lot them and wondered if they even knew who I was. I walked to the bathroom at one point where I had to walk by a couple of the popular guys and saw them all staring at me probably trying to wonder who I was or thinking I looked different. I mean I gained about 85lbs and had my hair straight so I'll bet I looked different.
Greg was bored but by the time the bar was closing down, I was having a good time with my good friends at our table and a couple others that were still out and about visiting with other classmates.
I don't regret going at all and I'll be glad to go to the 20 year but it did feel a bit like I was back in high school for a night. So thats my reunion, nothing specatular but it was definately mind boggling for me up until the big night.
Other stuff...
We had a party on Sunday just because. I can always count on our friends to come and make it a blast everytime. We provided the beer and food and a place to hang and they made it fun. You know you're getting older when the drinking games aren't as much, friends are bringing thier kids over (which was quite fun actually and entertaining) and people sit around chatting for the most part instead of dancing or doing keg stands.
But I guess you got to grow up a bit eventually. I still love parties and am usually up for them when they come about though.
I had all week off and ended up getting sick from our party on Monday. It carried through till the following Sunday until I had to go back to work so I was in bed the whole time almost.
But we did manage to go to SPX where I finally got to see Monica work her comic magic! She looked beautiful and she looked very confident. I've always wanted to buy something of hers to have and we spotted a gorgeous model/assassin pic. Greg found one of hers that has cute Panda's representing different months or holidays throughout the year. Some day I'll pick up her actual comics.
I was very proud of her though and we had a good time looking at all the other great artists with our friend Joe.
Now its back to work but I am going to Rehoboth this weekend to see my dear 'ol dad. I'm looking forward to going down memory lane with him to an orchard or two and to an Amish shopping area nearby.
Enjoy your weekend!!!

Glad you are feeling better. I have not made it to a high school reunion yet...but maybe I will go to the 20 year.
You know your really old when you are the one with kids and you are staying up late eating popsicles playing cards...and realize it's the most excitment you have had in months!
Always like to catch up with how you are doing on your blog. Can't wait to do the girls night out soon.

Sorry we (I) did not have much fun at the reunion. But at least you got to see some of your friends that you have not seen in years. :)
I am glad you went and am very proud of you for going. I know you were nervous.
Great job adding pics to your blog!

Thanks to both of you!
Holly I can't wait to see you too! The next reunion will be very interesting as well. Even though its awhile away I'm sort of looking forward to that.
Greg, I am very glad you came with me. I would've been even more of a nervous wreck by myself. Thank you for the encouragement!
