Last night I ran into some familiar faces in a most unexpected place. I was walking our dog when he got excited and started dragging me towards a group of people in our apartment parking lot. Usually running into dark figures in the middle of the night is a bad thing. To my surprise it was some people from back in the day. (High School to be exact) I hadn't seen one of them in almost 10 years.
I forgot how nice it is to stroll down memory lane. My 10 year reunion is next year and I have been strongly debating whether or not I was going to attend. I figured everyone I would like to see is still in my life so what is the point. It has only been in the past few months that I have realized how many people I miss. Sure there are a lot of people I don't care to see again but I put up with them for 12 years so what will a few more nights hurt...
I can't believe it has taken me this long to realize that the way you see yourself in high school isn't exactly the way others saw you. I always thought I was rather invisible but I'm finding out that I had more friends than I thought. Just goes to show how insecurity can be blinding. I'm looking forward to reconnecting with all the other friendly faces I may have forgotten about throughout the years. 10 years already! Wow time flies!

It is going to ROCK!
I am PLANNING on going... hopefully it will work out. Maybe Leah and I can even leave all our kids with my parents and we can ride down to L-town together. :)
(I don't know if you know... Leah Young married my Bro...... and then my parent's moved to Grangeville after graduation. Stupid Grangeville!)
I just can't wait to see everyone. I've been "alone" out in the east for way too long. (Although, Kyle Boetscher does live in Columbus too.... we haven't ever seen each other here.... and Mark Holder lives about 2 hours north of me in Cleveland....)
Yeah I saw that Leah married Scott. They are so freakin cute! And those kids! ADORABLE! I have mixed feelings about going. There are people that still make me revert back to that insecure confused girl when I see them. But in the end they don't matter. Seeing all the great people (you included) makes it worth it.
