Honestly, in my head, I’m like 25…OK…maybe 30, I do like to go to bed early and my favorite nights are spent at home or at a snazzy quiet bar enjoying a glass of vino with my hubby…but HOW did it happen that I have been out of high school for 20 years? TWENTY YEARS…I mean, seriously, I REMEMBER when my parents went to their 20 year…and they were, like, ANCIENT! So it comes a little shocking that some time last fall, I was nominated with a few other classmates, to get our reunion going…many polls on where to go, when to do it, how many days, etc. etc. were completed…and mind you, we were a class of 23 (quite large back then…and probably still one of the largest at Bristol Bay High School!)…
Well, I made it happen! 8 of our classmates were able to join us in Vegas at the Aria hotel…we had a great rate for the weekend, the beds were heavenly, the casino smelled like vanilla and most of us enjoyed a weekend away from daily life to reconnect, drink a few cocktails, roll a few dice and dance a little jig!
Circa 1992 (This actually may have been 1991…)
…and here we are now:
…and just a few more oldies:
Was great to see these friends from SO long ago…fun to realize we still have some things in common…that life has been pretty good to all of us!!!
Cheers to another 20 years…
Even met up with a good friend who is from CA, but just happened to be in the hotel next door to me…
…and she manned up and guzzled a beer in 8 seconds with Gussy!!!
Jimmy got a great big Dead Guy…
My BFF from First Grade…
Bar dancing, double fisted, pool hanging, people watching, VIP Tables (thanks Bridget!!!), line jumping, champagne drinking, staying up late, hangovers…and everything in between…yep, I just remembered I AM 38!!!
Cheers everyone…(and send me your photos!!)
