Post Reunion Reflections

Wow.

(and I mean that in a good way)

No kidding, what an amazing weekend. I'm still recuperating from all the fun. Excellent turnout friday night at Buzz Inn; special thanks to Mark and Tammy Perry who were the hit of the evening. Saturday was absolutely wonderful - Kyri stole the show as our Emcee Extraordinaire. And God bless all you Washingtonians for showing up Sunday, rain galoshes and all. Kudos to Sarah Bohlke for (in a pure moment of genius, I swear) renting the picnic shelter.

I've been truly amazed and humbled by so many of our classmates through the reunion process. I've heard from several who were not able to make it for a variety of reasons, some pretty standard, some not (ie: I'm going through chemo; I'm still grieving over the loss of my only child; I just lost my job; My husband just found out he has cancer, etc.). Each and every one of these individuals remained upbeat, positive, but so thankful to be a part of the SHS class of 1988. If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times - we really do have a wonderfully unique class. It was a pleasure heading up the committee and I look forward to at least being a part of planning for the 30th (egads, that sounds so . . . . old). Many have already suggested a casual get-together for the 25th, possibly at Buzz Inn, which cracks me up.

I've also had requests [insert modest grin] that I keep adding to the blog. If anyone else has Classmate Catch Up stuff to send in, keep it coming and I'll be happy to publish it for you on the blog. And I'll probably check in from time to time with any other relevant info I discover along the way.

Dane and I both performed Sunday night at Giggles in the U-District amidst a die hard group of classmates and friends/family in the area. Lots of fun - we both thank you all for your support, laughter, and applause!

Thanks again for all the help from my stellar committee (okay and for the flowers and gift certificates - so unnecessary, yet so appreciated). So, fourth weekend in July, 2013 at Buzz Inn anyone???
