Yes, we went to the BHS 20 year reunion last night, and it was so very fun! \"girls\"
\nEven though it wasn’t much more than throwing us all in a room with some food, a cash bar and some music (in other words, there was no program, not even a welcome from the senior class officers, which I thought there should have been. But oh, well, I’m not in charge), but people were mingling and talking and having a great time. It was so much fun to see everyone. I would see someone and KNOW that I knew who they were, trying to test my memory and figure out there name, but most of the time I had to look at the nametag, and then I would think, “Of course! I knew that was so and so!” People I didn’t really know in High School came up and talked to me, asking what I was up to and how I’d been, and that was fun, too. Ryan says I’m a “flitter”, but I really wanted to see as many people as I could. \"Darrin<\/p>\n

I was told over and over, “You haven’t changed a bit”, and “You look just the same!”, so I guess that’s a good thing. The girls seemed to change less than the guys. I mean, we all still have hair, which is more than I can say for some of the guys. Yes, some of the girls were annoyingly fit and skinny and don’t look a DAY older than 25 (Carolyn Archer and Joni Swift, you know I’m talking about you right now!), but most of them looked…well, just right. Not too old and not too young. They just looked good. \"reunion<\/p>\n

I stared at one guy, then asked Ken Clayton who it was. “That’s Nate Ellison”, he told me. What? That largish guy with no hair? You have GOT to be kidding. Nate had that trademark hair, and now he’s got a little male pattern baldness going on, with his hair cut so short it hardly looks like he has any hair at all. But it was still the same Nate, and when I went over and stood by him to see if he’d recognize me, he turned and said, “Paige!! I’m so glad to see you!” and gave me a big hug. It was great to chat with him again. \"Nate\"<\/p>\n

Of course there were some who weren’t there, who I wonder about, and some who filled out the survey, at least, so we get some idea of where they are and what they are doing. It was a fun event, and I’m so glad I got to share it with so many great people. If you want to see more pictures and play the “name that face” game, click here<\/a>. I’m not going to tell you who everyone is, but if you need help figuring it out, I’ll give you hints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
