One reason why I like Facebook is that is brings people together very easily, especially old high school friends. I recently got in contact with an old friend from my alma-mater. We have emailed back and forth for a little over a week. My best friend Natalie (who I also went to high school with) got in contact with her and invited us all out to dinner to catch up.
To be honest, I was nervous. I knew this girl Lauren was going to be great because she was at school. I knew we would get along fine. I honestly had a flashback to how I looked in high school to how I look now and I thought, "Ohmygosh, im going to be that girl at the reunion who people say, look how fat she turned out!" Hair, makeup and clothes wise, I am much better in that department, but weight wise, not so much.
Well, I regardless of my fears, we had am amazing time. We met up at Los Toros for dinner and couldn't stop talking the whole time. It was a lot of fun, and really neat to know that even after 10 years, a whole decade we really are so much the same people we were in high school just a little older and wiser. It made me excited for my 10 year reunion which should be this year. I can't believe its been 10 years since I graduated from LAB! Crazy! But I definitely need to get my but in gear and start getting healthy. Its such a battle for me. But I was watching Oprah today and was really motivated, haha, seriously! So even though I didn't make any new years resolutions when that clocked hit midnight, I do have one now, actually a few!
Anyway, tonight was a great night filled with good food, good conversation, laughter and some down to earth girly time! It was great! I am blessed with wonderful friends and people in my life. Can't wait to see what is next in store for this year!
Until Then,
Cheers,
Kristin
I had the same thing happen to me more recently, but you know what I learned - I think we're better persons today than we were in highschool!
And you know what else? You are PERFECT! don't forget that!
But I'm glad you had a great time, it's always nice to reminisce with old friends and be reminded of what got you here today.
Hope that friendship rekindles and starts anew for years to come! AND I SO HOPE you had that margarita for me! LOL!
