Yes, Twenty Years...

It has been that long.....whether I want to believe it or not. Time has, for sure, flown by. Regrets or not, it is what it is. God has a will and a reason for everything and that's all I have to say about that.

And I don't want to ramble on about how I am nervous about my twenty year class reunion that is coming up in approximately 24 hours, although I am nervous. If you want the serious post reflecting back on my past 20 years, just visit here. If you want fun, then read on.

No, I didn't ask permission from the people in the following photographs to post. One of my classmates is a fellow blogger and she gave me permission from here. Another, well, she also blogs and hmmm, it seems like she posted a hideous big haired prom picture of me not so long ago..so I guess I'm due. The rest of the gang, you wouldn't know them if you saw them so I guess it really doesn't matter, huh? (and these pictures are all scanned in)

Stay with me here. It is totally worth it in the end. (For you 80's lovers out there anyway!)

Twenty years. The year was 1988. My Senior Year. Doing the same things my son is just preparing to do.......taking Senior portraits, selling ads for the yearbook, joining clubs, cheering (well, thank goodness he doesn't do that!), throwing toilet paper in trees, cutting firewood and selling concession to raise money for our Senior Trip, going to prom, studying (he doesn't do much of that either) and the list goes on. So many memories to make...such little time.

This picture was scanned just for you, right out of my 1988 yearbook.

Twenty years ago
I was chosen as the Mistress of Ceremonies for our School Homecoming.

Twenty years ago
I dressed up as Raggedy Ann and sang a solo in a choir Christmas program.

Twenty years ago
I hung out with my peeps under this newly constructed pavilion during our break. (which they no longer get, btw)

(and I am not in this photo because I happened to be the one taking the picture!)

Twenty years ago
We boarded a bus we had chartered to take us to Daytona Beach and Disney World!!
Florida or Bust!! (Isn't that how it goes?)

Twenty years ago
I did it. I graduated. My mother was ever so happy. And so was I. I remember thinking how ecstatic I was to "get out on my own". Boy, was I in for a rude awakening!

I know you are tired of seeing big hair photos of me, so now I am getting to the really fun part.

Twenty years ago
I (and you too) did ALL OF THIS!!!



And Finally Twenty years ago.....
We listened to this...(yes, I'm most definitely getting my 80's groove on) This isn't the best video quality, but the music is awesome! Enjoy!!



I'll post again after the reunion!!

Have a great weekend.
