Ten Year Reunion

Its amazing...Ten years have gone by since I graduated High School. I can't believe it. I think im in denial. i mean Im ten years older and have i really accomplished all that i wanted to when i graduated? Well i wanted to get married....In 10 days it will be 8 years...so i accomplished that....I wanted to graduate college....I did that and even went on to get my teaching credential......i accomplished that.....I wanted to have kids....It took a few years (not by what i wanted but by what God wanted).....and we accomplished that....I even went to Hawaii....so i think ive done what ive wanted....but even though my "wants" have been accomplished i realize that i still have more wants....

i want to go to Austraila, i want more kids, i want to go see both a boston red sox game AND a patriots game during the same year, i want to take a cruise to alaska....and so much more....

its just interesting to look back on your past and see who really touched it and what you've lived through...here are pictures from tonite...there weren't that many people there and i learned some new things about people that was interesting to know especially since it didn't fit what they were like in high school and i guess that's what a reunion is REALLY for... :D

we also did some "questions" for prizes....like who traveled the farthest, who has the most kids, and who has been married the longest. I couldn't believe it but we won for who was married the longest. i know that there were people who got married before me but like most that i know -- they got divorced....i think its sad that in a group of 30 only 1 has been married for that long...although i do have to say Tina (see picture below) has been married for over 5 years also...i am so happy that i am still in love with herbie 8 years later like i was back then...although my love has grown into so much more....

Nicole and I...Friends since 6th grade

Herbie decided to be funny while we were taking pictures...

ahh i LOVE his smile...8 years in 10 days.....I love you!!



This (minus a few) was my "group" or "clic" in high school...Candy (in the middle) was my rock when things were upside down and im so glad that we stayed friends



I met Candy in Freshman English...i can't remember who said hi first but we've been best friends ever since....I don't think we have fought once...wow...14 years and no fights? how did this happen? i think its because we are so different that we just balance each other out...

Tina and her husband Terence..

By the end...when everyone else decided to go drink...this was Herbie's form of entertainment... :D
