Day 223/365 ~ 2012

Day 2 of the reunion started with a tour of the school.
"A Day's Pay" mural of the Bomber bought by the Richland community ~ all contributing a day's pay to purchase it for the war effort.



Go Bombers!





I never played a sport myself in this gym, but cheered many nights away on the floor of it as a cheerleader. Lots of fun evenings spent here.



Look at that cute little Bomber!



Then it was on to the evening dinner at Anthony's.



Where I literally laughed the night away.



So, so much fun.



Aimee was a cheerleader with me back in the day.



Dan was in full effect.

We finished the evening around 3am at The Town Crier. A Richland landmark.
It was a night I won't soon forget, my ribs and cheeks hurt for days later from laughing so hard and smiling so much, it was fantastic.

Here's to old friends!

222/365 ~ 2012

20 Year High School Reunion
Kicked off at Jackson's Bar.



Really awful photos taken with my iphone.
But So. Much. Fun.
Ami and Julie have been friends since Jr. High. Bridesmaids in our wedding and still dear friends.



Whitney is one of the sweetest people I've ever met ~ a friend from high school and we still keep in touch.  We spent a lot of time together over the weekend.  Our husbands hit it off & were completely hilarious together.



Aimee was a cheerleader with me in High school and was with me the night that I met Dan in college.  She has a quick wit, is so funny and loves Dan as well.  The two of them banter and have fun together.  We spent a lot of time together over the weekend as well.  The three of us plus...



Julie and Steve were the last ones at the bar. I went to bed sometime around 3:30 and couldn't fall asleep from all the excitement of the evening.  It was really so, so wonderful seeing old friends.  A fantastic kick off to the weekend!

Day 203/365 ~ 2012

We visited my friend Julie's family for our annual birthday celebration.  They live in the country and so there's always lots of fun outdoor play!  Steve made this fantastic "blob" for the kids and they had a ball jumping on it! (two of the kids ~ the teenagers :) aren't pictured).



And Kaitlin loooved her girlie time with Julianne and Joy.  (Though Kaitlin is very tall for her age, she is wearing high heels in this photo which is why she loos even taller). :)  She and Joy always have so much fun playing together.  They disappear and come back in dress up clothes and play with babies for hours.  We ended the evening with dessert and a slide show of Julie & Steve's photos from a recent trip to France, which was amazing!  It was a relaxing, fun day!

Day 70/365 ~ 2012

Friends since we were 12, Julie & I always look forward to our birthday dates.
Breakfast at La Provence & 5 hours of uninterrupted conversation.
A wonderful treat!

15/365 ~ 2012

Our bi-annual family get together with dear friends.
Sweet Georgia was named after me. "Georgia Kathleen."
She gave me hug after hug when leaving and said, "I wish we could see you more often."
Such a sweet girl.



Steve brought his soda maker and mixed drinks for us....He was giving Demos for the boys.  We told him if he ever leaves IBM he can be a sample guy at Costco!



We watched "Dolphin Tale" and had a entertaining round of "Wii Sing Disney."  Prompting a lot of laughs.  Kaitlin & Joy weren't seen all afternoon ~ dressing up & playing with dolls.  Likewise with Andrew & Jackson who were off on all sorts of adventures.  The kids get along great ~ relaxing, laid back day!
