20 years later…

My 20 year High School reunion is this weekend.  I am sad to say that I won’t be able to make it… expensive flights, lots to do and three little ones to look after…  but as I think about 20 years ago and laugh hysterically at the pictures that old friends are posting on Facebook here are my thoughts…

10.  The o-zone was probably done in single-handedly in the 80’s by the hundreds of cans of aerosol hairspray used to keep up our bangs.

9. Pictures of people stuffed into a phone booth is still funny, 20 years later.

8. Even though fashion styles circulate back through every so often…acid wash jeans should never make a re-appearance!

7. Leg warmers SHOULD!

6. Secretly I still like to bop around to the Bangles, Depeche Mode and, dare I say it, Janet Jackson.

5. I still don’t know all the words to “We Didn’t Start the Fire” even though I think I do.

4. 20 years later, even people that you didn’t hang out with can still become your “friends” thanks to facebook!  And they all look GREAT!

3. Things that break up the friendships of 16 year old girls can be easily forgotten.

2. When a whole school rallies for a cause, memories are made.

and the # 1 thing I have realized in reflecting on my 20 year H.S. reunion…

1. God was right there – even though I didn’t notice him at the time.

Peace.
