Class Reunion - Part 2

On Saturday, I met with my fellow classmates for a picnic in the park. We rented a pavilion, and we brought food to share. We had barbeque, fried chicken, potato salad, fixins, desserts and plenty of fruit tea. We met around 3:00 in the afternoon to eat, drink, talk and visit with each other and their families. It was very hot outside. I think I started sweating as soon as I arrived. It's a good thing I didn't spend a lot of time on my hair and makeup. But the pictures didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, since I was so sweaty!

It was a fun day. We are such a very small group and most of us have kept in touch over the past 25 years. We are still good friends. I guess that is the good thing about going to a small christian school. The friendships we made have lasted through the years. We can sit down together every 10 years or so and pick up where we left off. We did talk about doing a reunion soon to include other classes as well. This would be good since we are such a small class. I brought my senior yearbook along and we enjoyed looking back at the outlandish fashion we wore. It was funny!


Now that the reunion is over, its time to think about the upcoming week and plan my schedule. I have been so preoccupied with the reunion planning, that I didn't complete as many workouts last week that I would have liked. I also didn't get to workout this weekend.  But tomorrow is a new day. My goals for the upcoming week are to workout at least 4 times, to eat a balanced, healthy diet, and to save time to spend relaxing alone. That's a very do-able plan.


Have a great week!

Class Reunion Weekend!

It's time for our 25th year class reunion! It's hard to believe its been that many years. Surely we can't be that old! I went to high school at a small private school and attended there K-12 grades. Our class had 13 graduates!


We were a close group and look forward to our reunions. Unfortunately, somehow I was put in charge of planning. Don't these people realize I am not a planner? Anyway, somehow it all came together. And most everyone is more concerned with spending time with each other instead of what we are doing.

On Friday night, we had dinner at Maple Street Grill. This is one of my favorite local places. We had a nice dinner and enjoyed conversations as we reminisced about high school days. After dinner, a few of us stayed at the lounge upstairs, Uncorked. It has a very nice, intimate atmosphere. There were tables gathered around the bar area with candles and a very nice selection of music playing. I enjoyed a pomegranate sangria, well maybe 2. I took a few pictures.



We laughed so much it hurt!

You will notice my Sangria on the table. It was yummy!

On Saturday, we are planning a picnic at a local park where we will bring food and enjoy the day together. More people will attend this event and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone. I'll update this in another post.




It is so much fun getting together with old friends and finding out what they are doing now. I even think my hubby enjoyed himself. He got to hear stories of our high school days and things about his crazy wife that he didn't know.
