20 YEARS……REALLY!!!!???

A few months back I was informed that we would be having our 20th High school reunion. Where have the years gone ??  And boy do I feel OLD!!!!  And have a really not seen some of these people in 20 YEARS!!! No, I haven’t as we have been dispersed across the united states, Canada, Africa, Europe, the Middle east and Asia ( I think I covered them all  : )  )  We grew up in Kenya, Africa and went to a boarding school there, Rift Valley Academy.

Our Ten Year was in Texas so I was unable to go due to work. This time it was at Sunset Beach, NC. Only a few hours from us so I was excited to go. We left on Fri morning and arrived a little after lunch.

FRI:

Evening we went to eat on our own and then when we got back Eric put Evan to bed and I went to visit the people who had come.

SAT:

We all decided to go to the beach. This was Evan’s first time to the ocean. He had a blast!!!!  He had absolutely NO fear of the water.

Had to go over the swinging bridge. Eric says it’s the last one on the east coast.

Evan loved the sand also.

In the evening we took group pictures and then went out to eat at a seafood restaurant.

SUN:

We all met to say goodbye and then went on our different ways.  I was so blessed to have had this weekend. Although some of my close friends were not there it was a time to make new ones. I was encouraged to see how well everyone is doing.

Will look forward to another reunion in 2014 ( 25 years!!!)

What a great reunion.... Never having been to one, I am always curious as to how they go, specially if people show up with not many of their 'old group' with them. Great how you said it was also a time of making new friends. A lot can change and mold us in 20 years! Great pics too, thanks for sharing.
