On the left is one of my best friends through high school, Nicole, though sometime during college we grew apart. I recognized her from behind across a crowded room. It was really nice seeing her again and reconnecting. When I saw her dress it made me laugh, because (to me) it looks like a very similar style as her prom dress. Next we have Kimm- who introduced all of us to the hilarity of Monty Python. Then me (yes, I realize now I should have worn either black or something that showed more cleavage), then Kim, and lastly another Kim. I've kept up a little with Kimm (though I didn't know she'd recently been married!) but I hadn't been in touch at all with Kim and Kim, so it was nice to chat and catch up. Kim and Kim both have beautiful families and adorable children.
Pascale and I roomed together one year in college, but I haven't seen her in about 15 years. Doesn't she look great?! There was "this guy" in high school that I liked my senior year though I never really got up the confidence to talk to him much. He was at the reunion and would you believe I never spoke to him at the reunion either! I meant to but he was always standing in the part of the restaurant where I couldn't hear anything. (The music in the dance floor area--where no one was dancing--was still too loud, and the bar area echoed making it near impossible to hear.)
Bryan and I stayed in the hotel overnight and as were finished our breakfast the next morning we ran into two other classmates, and spent another 30-45 minutes chatting with them about the reunion and high school. This casual, relaxed, not dressed up, atmosphere to really talk was actually more enjoyable. If anyone else has a high school reunion approaching, I encourage you to attend. I'm looking forward to Bryan's 20th next year - and this time I'll wear the slinkiest top I can find!

So glad you had a good time at your reunion. At my last one, I had a very hard time recognizing the men - they had changed so much!
