The Reunion

Last week I went back home for my high school reunion.

At first Andrew had planned on coming with me, but after talking to a couple friends and discovering they weren't bringing their husbands Andrew had a quick change of heart (I attended his reunion a couple summers ago and I'm fully aware the spouse can sometimes get a little, tiny bit bored at these things!) Anyway, as soon as I arrived in town I headed over to my BFF's house - I recently was reading through my high school yearbook and, yes, we used that term back then!

Candy and I met in middle school (she had just moved to the Tri-cities) and instantly became friends. We were friends all through middle school, high school, and even went away to college together.

My favorite high school memories with her are cruisin' the main street, blaring Def Leppard and Aerosmith (I promise we weren't rocker chicks), skiing and attending sporting events. Her boyfriend played baseball and mine played basketball, so we'd go to the games together to keep each other company.

We live across the state from each other now, but it's great to have a hometown in the middle where we can meet.

By the way, the reunion went great. It was so fun to see old friends and see how much they've changed. I'm looking forward to the next one!
