Hunter High Class of '96 Reunion

I have never batted an eye at getting older. When I turned 30 I was fine and didn't really bat an eye, but my 15 year reunion was a little crazy for me to wrap my head around. I have been out of high school for 15 whole years? That is almost as long as I went to school! So many things have happened since I graduated, that I feel like I have filled those years with such wonderful things, but seriously 15 years!?!? Okay, moving on (at least I am TRYING to get passed this fact).

I can't even tell you how much fun this was. I enjoyed it so much. I feel like I really had some amazing people that I went to school with (a lot of whom I MISSED LIKE CRAZY as they weren't able to come). My class was pretty unique as well. Most of us were friends with each other. There weren't too many cliques and I was friends with so many different kinds of people and I really love that.
It was so much fun to see so many people and their spouses and even their kids (I loved seeing so many mini versions of my friends). Lots of us brought our dance pictures and we all sat together and laughed at ourselves (oh I had some doozies).

A lot of these people I went from elementary to high school with. It was fun to see what wonderful people they had become. It's kind of crazy to see us all parents!
My cute kids were so fun to have along. There was a bounce house that they jumped in ALL AFTERNOON LONG. I don't think my kids ever get enough of those things. I don't know that they were ready to leave even after jumping in one for about 3 hours. They also had bubbles for the kids to play with (McKay dumped them all over himself and me...)
Josh was such a good sport. I didn't see him much as he was watching kids and being the great guy that he is. I was so glad to have my family with me (poor Hunter had fallen just before this picture).
McKay was a bit tired. He kept lying down on the cement, so sleepy. He really was a good sport though.
Happy as a clam in the bounce house.
Bouncing for all they are worth.
We played some seriously fun games. I had to put together a puzzle of a cereal box front and do it before another guy did his (I shmack talked a little...and lost by a lot!) These guys had a milk carton full of ping pong balls tied to them on their backs and had to get rid of them all by shaking them out. They had some seriously good moves going on :)  They were awesome sports.
I seriously loved these wonderful people that I went to school with.

We didn't have a huge group, but I actually really liked getting to talk to mostly everyone that was there.
Our "crazy" picture. This is pretty much every single one of my high school dance pictures look like.
These were some of the wonderful girls I was on the drill team with (along with the gal in the first picture). I have seen them a few times since our last reunion, but it was so much fun to hang out with them. They are still as fun and funny as they ever were.

So...in conclusion I think I ended up being okay that it was my 15 year reunion (I have already planned on going through a mid-life crisis at 20. Watch for it). I had the funnest time with everyone and had SO MANY great memories from high school. I really feel blessed to have had all of the experiences that I had at Hunter High School.
