10-year reunion just around the corner



My 10-year reunion is this weekend. It's crazy to think about it really...I have been out of high school for 10 years. I have been out of college for 6 years. wait...yes. Holy crap. I am 28 years old.
30 seemed so far away to me and now it's right around the corner. But I am not one of those people who freaks out over getting gray hairs or turning a year older I mean, it's a part of life. An ugly part of life to some people but not to me. I love aging.
So this weekend I get to see people I haven't seen in person for a very long time. But this begs the question; can we really get a group of people who have ONLY known how to act as children together, to act as adults?

I am tempted to make note cards to hand out to people;
Married - 3 years. Met on internet in 2000. His name is David and he is a Hydrologist for the MN Pollution Control Agency. He is my best friend and the love of my life.
My job - I am editor at Target headquarters in Minneapolis - I have been there for 4 years. I work on packaging (Archer Farms*, Market Pantry, choxie, Smith & Hawken, Boots and Barkley). I make sure things are capitalized and spelled correctly.
*My saying this will inevitably get "Oh my god I love Archer Farms salsa - it's so good" or "why did they stop making the chile grilling sauce?"
College - I went to Duluth for 2 years then transferred down to the U of MN main campus to major in Journalism. I loved it.
Kids? Oh the dreaded question. Not everyone can procreate at the drop of a hat. For some, it takes time and we luckily have lots of it. We are in no rush and know that someday we will be parents. But right now, we are animal parents and love it.
What are you drinking? Vodka Soda with Lime


So for those of you who read this, we can start our conversation AFTER you have learned the information on my invisible note card that I hand to you.

I can't wait to see everyone. I hope it's a successful event. We have spent a lot of time & effort into planning this. Here's to the class of 1999!! See you this weekend!
