The following weekend in July, Zac and I flew up to the Panhandle for my 10 year high school reunion. I am sure that everyone probably says this, but I really couldn't believe that it had been 10 years since I graduated from high school. I was so excited to be able to see my friends from home, and for them to meet Zac. The first event was a cocktail party at the Buzzard's house. The homecoming committee had everything set up beautifully around the pool. Afterwards some of us met at Tyson and Kristen's house to continue the fun (thanks so much guys!!)
So many of my classmates were able to come in to town for the reunion, and we all had a great time catching up with each other. I was also thankful that we had another day's worth of events to spend even more time with my friends. Sat. morning we toured the new addition of the high school, then had a family picnic at Central Park.
That evening we had a dinner and dance at the country club. The weather was rainy that afternoon, but it worked in our favor. We had to eat inside (the Class of 1980 was also having their reunion there), but then we got to go out by the pool for the dance and the rest of the night. And, the weather was nice and cool. After the dance a lot of us went to Cortnie and Trent's house for an after-party (thank you to the Prices for opening their home to so many of us!!), and we all stayed up talking and catching up until 3 a.m. I am thankful for such an amazing group of classmates, and enjoyed every minute of that weekend! Thank you to the homecoming committee who did an absolutely amazing job and worked so hard to plan the weekend's events.
HERE are all of the pictures!
The next weekend Zac and I spent time in Dallas and went to my friend Andrea's 30th birthday party! We had so much fun with Andrea, Justin and some of their friends bowling. Andrea and I worked together at KB in Dallas, and have stayed close ever since. I just wish we would be able to spend more time together. :) I love you, Andrea!
Zac went to Austin for his best friend Ted's bachelor party, and I went to Fort Worth to hang out with Mandy, Meranda and Beth. The next weekend we went back to the Metroplex for Zac's 10 year reunion, and the weekend after that we were back again at Cedar Creek Lake with Zac's aunt and uncle. This year they bought a lake house, and we were thankful to get to stay there for the weekend. I went up to Dallas, yet again, for the John Mayer concert Labor Day weekend. :) Unfortunately I did not have Labor Day off, so I came back to CS the next day. :( That was also the first home game, TAMU v. SFA, and Cameron came up from Houston to go to the game with Zac since I was gone. Our friends Eric and Dayna Comley also came down for the game.
Are you excited to be closer to present day? Can you tell that we have been weekend warriors tearing up the highways across the Great State?
That week, plus three extra days, Mom and Dad went to Italy! They had an amazing time seeing the sights with their friends. That weekend we stayed home (yay) and went to the LA Tech game. Mary Alice came with us, and we had a great weekend hanging out. The game was too close for comfort, but we pulled it out in the end.
The next weekend, the 17th - 18th of Sept., we were back in Dallas for Ted and Kimberly Jakus' wedding. The events were all absolutely wonderful, and we are SO excited for the two of them to be married, and look forward to spending many fun times together! I took several pictures from their festivities.
That Sun. I helped host a shower for my friend Kelsey, who is adopting a baby that is due in Nov.! :) :)
The next weekend mom was in Houston for a school board conference, so we met her in Houston for dinner with Mary Alice. That Sat. morning I drove to Fort Worth again for Meranda's first birthday party! I took several pictures at the baby shower and Meranda's party, as well. I can't believe that Miss Meranda is already one year old. She is so precious.
Pausing here. Another post soon to follow. Yes, really.
Me ke aloha,
RAWE
