Skyline Eagles 20th reunion!!

Never thought I would be at a point when I would be celebrating my 20th high school reunion!! Crazy! I'll be honest, I went back and forth about whether or not I should go to it. Don't get me wrong, I loved high school and have such great memories of the great friends I made there, I think I was just a little hesitant wondering how it would be being single among 90% of my friends who are married with families. I ended up going with 3 of my other girlfriends who are single and I am so glad I went!! The first night was an alumni night they held in the courtyard of my high school. Then Saturday night they had a big party at this lounge that one of our classmates had recently bought. I was worried I wouldn't be able to recognize some people, but amazingly everyone looked pretty much the same. Something that I loved about it was the shared bond we all had having shared so many memories, that even those who you may not have been close with in high school, we could recognize wow! fun opportunity to get to know someone better that we might not have known then. It also made me realize how varied the challenges that people face are...One of my friends lost her brother to suicide 2 years ago, another friend lost her husband to a rare heart condition, leaving her to raise 4 kids alone, a few of my friends remain single, another few of my friends are suffering through divorces right now. It really opened my eyes to the needs of other people, some right before your eyes and some hidden. It also made me realize what an awesome bunch of people I had the opportunity to go to school with and learn from. Can't wait for my 40th!
