Yo! I’m back from my weekend away – what a BLAST!!

My good friend Drew & I were amazed at how rockin’ the weekend went after all. Everyone was so truly psyched to see eachother – it was really neat! Just about everyone is married & has kids! I was one of a very small handful that hadn’t gone that road just yet. But it was so wonderful to meet everyone’s “other half” and all their cutie kiddies that look so much like their parents!

I was psyched to meet up w/ the old crew – and see some unexpected faces from soo long ago who have really turned out soo cool. We all partied pretty hard the first night, Friday night (some of us die hards didn’t hit the sheets till 5am!) and then awoke at 9am Saturday for the tour of the remodeled High School, which looks so different it’s like it’s not even ours anymore. My summary: “the new art room rocks!” and “were the ceilings always that low?” I spose we all got taller eh? :)

Saturday night there was a picnic up by Steamboat Lake – quite a drive for cold cuts, but it was fine. That was the family picnic so there were many little tikes running around.

Saturday night Moni had a party at her place – everyone was invited and we were pleasantly surprised that almost everyone came over!! Shows we all were still pretty psyched to keep the reunion going. I thought that was cool. We played horse-shoes, got crazy on the trampeline (note: new cool band name: Slippery Tramp) and then some of the last of us all got shlepped home by a generous designated driver. I was really proud of our whole crew for avoiding drinking & driving. We all realize we’re *lucky* to be alive after all our poor choices in HS! Life’s more precious now for sure.

Today after a delicious breakfast w/ my family, Drew & I headed back to Denver. I even got to run & see Drew’s wife JaNae & his lil’ girl Sydney – who is soo big now & so cute! But it made me a little late for my plane & I had to wait on standby for the next one – ug! At the time, it sent my sleep-deprived eyes over the edge & I really thought I was going to loose it thinking I couldn’t just get home! The lady probably thought I was psycho… and I honestly really just about lost it. Totally the lack of sleep talking I’m sure, but seriously – ya know when you just want to yell “WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME NOW DAMMIT!!!!”? Security would love that one huh? hahaa

The good news was after getting myself some overpriced airport food to calm my nerves, I was able to hop on that next flight no problem. I zonked on the plane big time… and Matt was sweet enough to pick me up from the airport. Sounds like him & Kazoobie had a good weekend hanging out. I came home to my sweet fuzzy kitty, who is reaaaaally excited to see his mama!! I am soo excited to see him, too!! Such a buddy this guy is… he’s here on my desk as I type, he comes up for some lovin every 10 minutes or so.

So tonite after unpacking a bit and catching up on gobs of emails, I downloaded aaaaall the photos! There’s a ton… some really good ones, too! If any of you know me well, you know I document, document, document. So there’s photos of everyone at many stages. Quite fun! I’ll sort through them & organize it all some day this week.

There’s still so much I could tell about it all, but for now I need some sleep!! NIGHT! Zzzzz….
