Of course I jam packed each day with doing OTHER things... instead of doing what I should be doing, like washing and packing. But I didn't do any of it. I did get my hair cut and a pedicure, a must for sandals, ya know.... then I made plans with Brandy and had a fantastic night out, which led me to taking off Friday. I didn't get to sleep in like I wanted to because I forgot to disable the alarm. Then I packed, showered, ran errands. I bought 3 pair of sandals at Target and a cute stylish dress for $7!! I had planned to wear it on Saturday, but wore a different outfit instead.
If you've talked to me over the last couple of weeks or so, I may have mentioned some anxiety about this class reunion thing. Well... I guess I was being silly because I had such a fun time. It was so amazing to see so many people from the class. I didn't talk to everyone, but did get to chat with most for a bit. And it brought a little regret back, like why did we all lose touch? We could have easily talked over the last 20 years, but we didn't. Well, some people have remained to stay close and there are many that still live in our hometown.
Friday we hit Kelly's Island and I can't talk about all the hilarity that ensued. There were strawberry shots, Brandy Alex Milkshakes, dancing, singing... puking in the lake (not me), writing on those that passed out and just general hanging on the boats. As soon as we made it down to the boats (2 friends were docked), Scot and I were greeted by a bunch of our old friends. I swear, those 20 years, just dissipated and it felt like we were back there, back when, like no time happened between then and now. All lines were erased and we laughed and hugged and it was so much fun. I don't know why I was so worried. Heck in 10 minutes, I swear, my stomach was in pain from laughing so hard. I could barely stand up because I was just bent over with laughter. Awesome!
(the boaters that arrived early: Cory, Brent, Kristen, Tina, Tracy, Jodi, Erica, Lisa, Amy and Tonya
We made the 12:30 am (last ferry) back to Marblehead with a bunch of the gang. And then off to the hotel, where I was so tired and exhausted and still excited that I couldn't even sleep. We took Scot's mom to lunch and went to Big Lots. Then lounged around until the "official" reunion, which started at 6. That was a nice time also, we saw more people that didn't make the Friday outing and some that came Friday didn't come on Saturday.
We parted ways around 9:30 and headed back to Columbus. I sincerely hope that 20 years doesn't go by again before I see some of these people. It made me realize how much I missed those friendships. So glad we have the internet now though, it will make it so much easier.
Not the greatest photo of us, but one of the best ganked from Tracy's facebook page.
