So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 199...8!!

Wow.. This past weekend, we celebrated Longview High School's Class of 98's 10 year Reunion! It was GREAT to see all the girls again, and to catch up with long lost classmates and friends.

We kicked the party off Friday night with a little dinner at Papacitas. Me, Holly, Ginger, Ashley, and my friend Addie met up there and enjoyed some girl time, before picking up Jered (Holly's husband) and meeting the rest of the 98' class at Buffalo Wild Wings. This event was sort-of a meet & greet, mix & mingle kind of thing to kick off the weekend. We had lots of fun, lots of laughs (esp. when Holly "accidentally" poured half of her "beverage" in my purse!!..not so funny), and called it a night.

Saturday, Ashley's mom, Rhonda, hosted a brunch get together for all of the girls, hubbies, and kiddoes of the group. It was so much fun getting to see all the kids play together, and the girls being "real" mommies!! :) Here's a couple of pics from the gathering!

Holly & Parker Ashley & Lane Ashely & Dylan
.. I love the last two pics, because it really show's an accurate portrayal of how the pics with the kiddoes went.. too cute!! (Addie, seriously..is your child doing the "Miss America" wave??!!)

Around 1 or so, the hubbies took the kiddoes away, so that the mom's could enjoy some much needed "adult" girl fun!! We ate, chatted, reminisced, and took some more pics!! :)

Here's the gang 10 years ago! The first pic, obviously is at graduation, and the 2nd is from a senior party that Ash's mom and grandmother threw for us..kinda the reason Rhonda did it again 10 years later..

..and here's the "Now"!

I find it amusing how everyone looks the same..except, ME!! Not quite as thin, nor tan..and Smalls and I have discovered our "own identity".. matching...seriously?!

Saturday night, was the main event at the Summit Club. Holly and Jered came and picked Matt and I up, and we headed out on our way. The "after" party was held at Lindsey Hughes's lake house at Lake Cherokee. Here of course, are some pics.

On Sunday, Matt and I enjoyed a much lower key day. It was Mikki's birthday, so we spent the day at Matt's parents house watching football, playing cards, and eating steak and baked potato's YUM! Here's Mik's birthday cake, that SHE made! ;)

this I stole from Mikki's blog.. according to her, it's my "I'm pissy my cowboys are losing!"


Matt & Clara playin!

I had such a wonderful weekend (my cowboys won by the way), and cherished every minute I got to spend with the girls.. I miss all of them so much, and wish we got to see each other more often. I'm looking forward to the wedding (not that I'll have anytime to really talk to anyone) but I'm thankful we can all be together again. 18 days to go!! :)


Until Next Time!!

..and I'll leave you with such a sweet pic! :)
