Reunion Weekend, Part One

For the past 18 months, several of my old Frederick Douglass Class of '89 classmates and I have feverishly planned, held conference calls, planned, budgeted, planned and organized and its finally here - our glorious 20th high school reunion.

Last night, we held a casual "lets get reaquainted" happy hour at the beautiful National Harbor area in Maryland. Except we've all been getting reaquainted via Facebook for the duration of planning this reunion so last night was more of a "lets get together, throw back some drinks, hug a bazillion times and then watch people get thrown off the mechanical bull".

Joe, Vic, Greg, Kevin

Rose, Me, Sara, Ronda

Carrie (reunion committee), and Steve

Allison, Sara, Me and Ronda


Ginger and Greg, who got the whole reunion planning started. Little did I know Ginger has lived about 5 miles from me for the past 6 years!

This guy broke the horn right off of the bull. See it laying to the left on the air mattress?

Tonight is the Big Night. The kids have a fun slumber party planned with our awesome neighbors John and Paige, with plans for pizza and cookie making, Wii and homemade pancakes in the morning. Knowing they'll be well taken care of, Andrew and I are looking forward to a celebratory night away at the Westin where we'll enjoy an evening of adult conversation, dancing and many adult beverages. AND most importantly, the first chance to sleep in past 8 a.m. in a LONG, LONG time!
