I've been planning my 10 year high school reunion since January and last weekend, it finally came to fruition. You always worry when you plan something like this, if what you put together is what everyone is expecting. My hope is that is that I met my classmates' expectations and provided a good opportunity to catch up with old friends and reflect on sweet memories.
On Thursday, Felicity and I drove down to Longview early to handle some reunion errands, but spent most of the day over at my grandparents. We had lunch together on the back porch and then while Felicity napped, Grandma and I went shopping for Fe. Being the queen of comfy pj's, Grandma bought Fe some comfy new jammies for winter.
In other big news, I finally got my hair cut! Thank you, Hung (who has been cutting my hair since I was 11)!! I don't have any good pics of it yet, but it will make a blog appearance soon.
On Friday night, we went to the Pine Tree football game, where Justin met us. My parents had been planning Felicity's outfit for weeks. As you can see, they spared no expense. My dad (all on his own, no less) even had a local florist construct a bow for her head out of a garter. Too cute!
The actual reunion activities took place on Saturday, beginning with a family picnic at a park. That afternoon we had a tour of the high school and concluded the day with dinner at a local restaurant. I'm sad to say, I was just a bit too preoccupied to have captured any pictures from any of the events. Oh well...
For the most part, I enjoyed planning the reunion, but I am definitely happy to have some more free time back on my plate so that I can focus on some other things important to me. A huge thank you to Boates, who was a constant help and support throughout the planning and to Amy, Jenny, Leah, Josh and Denisa for being such a great help with set-up and clean-up. I could not have done it without you!
