20 Year Reunion

My 20th year reunion is coming up in a week (wow that went by fast) but it has really made me think back on people and friends that I have not seen in a long time. How they are doing, what they are doing. I recently have hooked back up with my best friend in high school Kathy here are pictures of both of us,

apparently I am blocking the sun, I was really into perms and Kathy evidently was really into layers. The 80’s, what a fashion statement, I had a date ask me if my hair needed help into the car, that was how big my hair was!! And I guess in the 80’s there was no face powder, because I am really shinny. Well, 20 years has gone by and I am no cooler now than I was then, I am currently 40 lbs overweight, I am breaking out like a 14 year old boy, and oh yes, I have a cold sore that looks like someone has punched me in the lip, I have currently developed a nervous twitch in my right eye and do to “The fall” I am limping slightly on my left knee, all I need is a hunch back to make the ansombal complete. But all in all I am looking forward to seeing some good friends, belly laughing until I snort, talking about the crazy stuff we would do, and for a moment remembering what is was like to have not a care in the world and not a one responsibility other than to have fun, and then running to my car and driving as fast as I can back to my “whole world” my kids. Be careful if you blink, your kids will be attending their 20th year reunion, time has a way of tricking us and leaving us with only scattered memories..

I love it! You look EXACTLY the same! Well, aside from one small -wait - big difference...your hair:) Sorry, I couldn't resist;) Weren't the 80's lovely?! I had bangs taller than the Eiffel Tower! I love seeing high school pics of people! You'll have to keep us posted on the reunion. And BTW, Kathi, you are as pretty as ever!

I laughed so hard, I cried. Wait. always cry when I laugh. Thanks for the memories, who doesn't love a great flashback to the 80s? Have fun at the reunion, can't wait to hear all the latest dish when we get together at the park.

I think that you tamed your hair down even a little for this picture because the one that was hanging on the wall was like a solar eclipse... this one not as big, but still just as funny! And Kathi S. sure was serving it up with the layers!
