The Husband's 20 yr High School Reunion


The Husband's (a.k.a - M.O.T.H. /master of the house) 20 year High School Reunion was this past weekend and we had fun! I remember purchasing the tickets and immediately doing the mental countdown..."I have this many weeks to workout/get my hair color touched up/figure out what to wear"....blah blah blah. But since purchasing those tickets, we moved to a new state and all that stuff wasn't even in the back of my mind...until 1 week before the event.
GAH! I hadn't been working out! I haven't found a new colorist for my hair! And I have no idea what to wear!

When I asked M.O.T.H what he was wearing, he replied, "I don't know, I'll figure it out that day." WHAT?! But I shouldn't have been surprised, he doesn't stress about stuff like that. So I rush to the mall (which also happened to be day one of the TAX FREE WEEKEND craziness - I know, what was I thinking?!) the day before the event, looking in every store for an outfit but not really knowing what I wanted to wear, what other people are going to wear, etc. Eventually I make it back home to start figuring out what shoes to wear with the dress, how to do the hair..blah, blah, blah. SO the day of the event, M.O.T.H. is getting ready and pulls out jeans and a button down shirt and announces, "I ready!" Seriously?! So I say, to heck with it, throw on my jeans, wedge sandals and a cute top and call it good! I don't know why I was stressing out over this thing! It wasn't my reunion!

So we get there, have a drink or 2 or 3 and watch "the show". The ladies looked great, although a few seemed uncomfortable in the dresses & high heels they chose to wear. And the guys were all slapping each other on the backs and telling stories, "Remember when you..." followed by rowdy laughter and more slaps on the back. :) M.O.T.H. actually remembered a few people and it was nice to see them catch up.

My 25 year High School Reunion is next year (I know! I can't possibly be THAT old! :D ) and I'm really looking forward to it! With the help of Facebook, I've kept in touch with close friends and have become better acquainted with others. It should prove to be the most laid back reunion we've had so far....and I might just wear jeans and rubber flip flops! :D

Hope everyone is having a great summer!
