10 Years
My graduating high school class of 2000 are getting together this weekend for our 10 year reunion. When I first got notification of this reunion I was shocked to hear that high school graduation was really 10 years ago. Am I really getting that old?!
I went to a private Christian school in Colorado Springs. My graduation class was around 100 people (maybe a little more). I was a cheerleader for three of those years, but wasn’t “popular” by any means. I was an honor roll student. I worked part time at a pretzel shop and retail store at the mall then at Compassion International while I was in high school. I made some good friends during high school, but really only keep in touch with a handful of those people. I have some good memories from high school, but also some that I’d rather not relive.
No, I’m not going to the reunion. There’s been a lot going on for the past month, so a reunion with classmates isn’t my thing right now.
In three years, it will my 10 year anniversary of graduating from college. There won’t be a reunion for that since I went to a commuter college. I don’t know anyone in my college graduating class. In fact, I didn’t even go to graduation! I elected to get my diploma in the mail and get on with life.
Tonight I pulled out some old pictures from high school graduation and an old cheerleading picture. Wow, I look young and super skinny. Oh, what time, life and children will do to your body, but it’s worth it for the life I have now.

didn’t we take a cheer pic together? everyone else seemed to have a partner for a picture. thanks for including me. i can’t believe it was 10 years ago! i wish i was going to see you this weekend! i will be in CO for a couple of weeks, i know things are harder for you now, but maybe we can figure out how to get together somehow.
I for one would LOVE to see you :) And I would also love to meet your darling girls.
After much debate, I decided to go to the evening portion of the reunion (the picnic is right during Riley’s nap time). I will let you know how it goes! :)
Maisie, I went to my 10 year high school reunion, for just our year, and it was more fun that I could have imagined. I think you will regret if you don’t go.
This Sunday 8 girlfriends from high school are coming to our place for lunch. A couple of them I haven’t seen for 40 years. I can hardly wait. I encourage you to go. Just a thought. Your pics were great! You have not changed much.
