Now
Friday night was the Homecoming Football Game. Tim was nice enough to stay home with the girls so that I could go. Miss Karyn Corey was my date for the evening. Some things have definetly changed in 10 years. When Hayley and I were in high school, we didn't have a football field. We used Desert Vista's field as our home field. Valley now has a football and baseball field. It was quite the ordeal. People were everywhere and they had bouncing houses and face painting. At the gate, the ladies weren't sure how to charge us to get in. They have different prices for students, adults, and kids. They asked if we were students, we said no. And they said, well are you students somewhere and we said no. We just gave them our money and were off. Karyn turned to me and said, "Sarah, they thought we were students!" This was the highlight of Karyn's night. We were able to find some people from my class, but not very many. It is hard to go back to a school that we didn't really go to. We were only in that building our Senior year. The rest of the time, we were in an old office building at Broadway and Price. It is hard to see all the kids, the band, the stands, the field and relate to it and say, "this is where I went to high school," when you were never on thatfield. So I understand why not many people came. I enjoyed it just the same. Thank you Tim for watching the girls and Karyn for coming with me. (Just as a side note and advice for future generations...it is always windy on Homecoming. We would try and do balloon arches and signs filled with ballons and had a horrible time with the wind. Somethings haven't changed. They had some problems too!)
Saturday night was the big event...The 10 Year Reunion at the Bamboo Club. Overall, it was a fun night. It was great to see people, to meet their husbands/wives/girlfriends, enjoy great food, and reflect on fun memories. I am thankful that people were able to come from out of state too. I think everyone enjoyed their night and it was a success. All these months of planning have finally paid off. My favorite moment of the night was when Travis Phelps looked around the room and said, "there are a bunch of moms here." And for the first time I realized I was one of them. Very cool, but very wierd at the same time. It was nice to see people that you had been talking to through the computer for months and now see them in person. Vashti was one of those people and I was thankful she was there, even with a sick baby at home. We had a great time taking pictures and were even able to get a group shot. It was nice to see everyone, but I am thankful for my friends from Valley that I get to see regularly. Kristin, Amy, Teri, Erin, Kami, Kelly...I love you girls and good job on the reunion. Altogether, it was a crazy, busy weekend, but filled with fun.
Thank you Jeff for bringing Shannon to see us all. Thank you mom for making great food on Saturday morning (and Tom for paying for it.) Thank you Hayley and Tyler for letting us come over. Thank you Tim for watching the girls so I could go to the game and for being wonderful at the reunion. Thanks Karyn for going with me to the game. Good job Ladies in making reunion a success. I love you all and hope you have a great week. Life is a little less hectic now, so hopefully we can all settle back in to the norm. Enjoy some of the pics from reunion!
