Reunionizing

Over the last few weeks I've spent some time catching up with old friends.  I attended my 10 year High School Reunion, as well as my 10 year 2002 Advanced Theater Class Reunion.

I would say that mostly I laughed for the entire weekend about the places life has taken us, the things we used to do "back then," and how different everyone looks, but how everyone is pretty much the same people we were 10 years ago.

Life is funny that way.

We think we grow up, but give yourself ten minutes with old friends and you might find yourself shoving 28 Utz Cheeseballs in your mouth to see if you can break your old record.

We went to surprise Andra (the reason we all ended up being friends) at her house after the reunion.  I see Andra fairly often, but it's always so good to see her!

28 Cheeseballs.  Boom.

I was so excited to go to the class reunion so I could meet up with Tobey!  She lives in Michigan while her husband is completing his residency as an ENT.  We grew up in the same ward together and have been friends for a very long time.

PS- It was so hot in the un-air conditioned school!  Boo.

Kandyce is one of my oldest friends- dating clear back to kindergarten I believe!  Justin Stanford and I did theater together, as well as spending many a late night goofing off.

I  grew up with Andrea and Sean.  My favorite part of this reunion was getting to spend some time with them.  We talked about how the ward we grew up in (the Kaysville 14th ward) was the best ever.  I felt so blessed to be able to grow up where I did and have such great friends.

 As part of the High School reunion they did a 5K- I won the race outright!  (I won't mention that it's only because the two guys in front of me took a wrong turn which put them waaayyyy behind...)

Over ten years later, I still call Kalie one of my very best friends.  I'm so blessed to have her in my life.
