Last weekend was my ten-year high school reunion. You always hear of people freaking out about things and worrying that their job/ significant other/ weight is not good enough. I didn't feel that way at all. I don't know if it was because I knew that my good friends who already know me well would be there, or because I just don't care what other people think.Anyhow, we had a fantastic weekend. We had a casual get-together on Friday night, and the "real" thing on Saturday night at the Louisville Slugger Museum. I found the whole thing to be very relaxed and unpretentious. People seemed genuinely happy to see one another, and everyone was just having a good time. The excellent 90s playlist contributed to this, for sure!
I found myself on the dance floor with Christopher and Jami, making my dream of doing the
"Romy and Michele" dance at my reunion a reality. I was also pleased that I got to reuse my "Thriller" skills that I picked up before Jeff and Meg's wedding. The "after party" was at 4th Street Live, where I very uncharacteristically stayed out till 3:30! Now that the fun of the reunion is over, I am looking forward to more fun this summer/fall:
Next week- American Idols Live!
August - The OLYMPICS! (and a Third Day/Jars of Clay/Switchfoot concert)
September - Girls weekend in Chicago with Amie and Tiffany, and another girls weekend in Phoenix with Julie, whom I haven't seen in 7 years! (We are going to a resort with a lazy river!)
October - The arrival of Baby Brenneman! And a New Kids on the Block Concert in Chicago!
...and January '09 is Miss America in Vegas!
(I must apologize for my overuse of exclamation marks. I hate them. Really, I do.)
So, the past and the future sound great, eh? But what about the present? Yeah, that's a tough one for me. Seems as if I'm always living in the memories of the past or the anticipation of the future, and kind of forgetting about today. I will try to remember that as I am wishing away the coming weeks!

I LOVE that you are doing all this cool stuff at this stage in your life when you have time, energy, and money! I am living vicariously through you with all of it and love hearing about each new "check off the list". Since my days consist mostly of making sure butts are clean (not that I would trade it for anything!), it is fun to hear about your adventures!
I hope my 10-year is this much fun! Your shedjule is filling up quickly with some exciting stuff...when you are globe-trotting and concert-hopping, don't forget that "You are one of us...." and we will miss you dearly.
p.s. sounds like we met your Turkish friend...
