Class of 1999

It's hard to believe it's been 10 years (and 4 months) since graduation!!! Friday night, we celebrated our reunion at the same venue where we had our Senior Ball in May 1999. Although we had over 630 people in our graduating class, there was a much smaller number at the reunion (about 100-120 people). It was fun to see familar faces and the reconnect with old friends. Most of us joked that there was nothing new because of things like blogs and Facebook. This definitely made me miss high school though...these were some of my very, very best friends for life. Many of them I went to school with for 13 years (or 17 if you count college too). It was a late night...didn't get home until 1:30am, but we had such a great time. Despite the $72 ticket cost, we had a blast!!!

Enjoying my dessert!!

As I said before, we left the Varsity Grill *really* late and had to get my car that was parked at Michelle's house. As we were backing out of her driveway, Jenni and I noticed a weird sound (kind of like rain drops on a tin roof). We drove for awhile until I knew something was wrong. We pulled over on the side of the road and I jumped out to see if we were dragging something....completely freaked out to see what we might be pulling. Turns out, some idiotic teenagers thought it would be funny to wrap fishing line around my car and attach two old phones. We were dragging these phones behind my SUV for about 5 miles. Awesome. We pulled over at a gas station and the attendant gave us his pocket knife so we could cut them off. Here's the evidence....
