I'm so disappointed that this is the only picture I have of my reunion (thanks to Jax). We attended the family BBQ at my school during the day. It was fun to see my friends and their families. It's one thing to see a picture of people's kids or hear all about them but I enjoyed not only seeing their kids but watching friends interact with them. It's not something you see in high school. They took a great picture of our family at the BBQ that is on my school's alumni website. I need to figure out how to get it. The kids ate, played on the playground, decorated visors and frisbees and played soccer on the softball field that holds all kids of memories for me!!!
Later that night Bret and I went to the dinner at our school. It really is indescribable how beautiful my school is (another thing I wish I took pictures of). We visited and ate where I use to go to math. They have made many changes since we've been there! These are my friends Jackie (JAX) and Brandi. Bret and I sat at a table with people I didn't really hang out with in high school and we had a ball. We had great conversations about our family and all the funny things that go on as parents. I was grateful to have those experiences with Ken and his wife Grace, Michelle, Shabnum and Yen Yen. I also wish I had taken pictures of Bret and I. You can say Bret cleans up nice!!! How proud I was to be there with not only the most handsome man at the reunion but certainly the nicest and most thoughtful. I'm always amazed at how comfortable he is in those situations and how comfortable he makes others despite his desire to be a homebody!! I LOVE him! Wish you could have seen him!! By the way, the question I got quite a bit-"so you have help, right?" I replied "No" each time but upon further thought, I should have said "Yes, my amazing husband and my older kids!" It was such a fun opportunity to show off my love for my family. I think it was more an eye opener for me than for anyone. It's easy to get down on myself for not doing enough or feeling guilty for things I wish I was doing but when it comes down to it, I don't think I'm doing too bad!
Amen to your last sentence!!!!
