Reunion

August 1st was my 10 year high school reunion. Yes, I am that old. :-) I had debated all summer if I was going to make the trip, but I decided it would be fun, especially after reconnecting with some old friends via the blogging world (and facebook, myspace, etc.). My good friend Cassie was nice enough to drive me up there, even though she would be moving home the next week from Lake Powell. We got into Utah county near midnight and I got dropped of at my sister Rachel's house. She and Dan were nice enough to let me crash on their couch, even though I got in late and they both had to get up for work in the morning. My other sister, Rebekah, was also really nice and came to pick me up the next morning and shuttled me around all day. It was fun to get to hang out with her and her girls, Izzy and Lulu. Lucy is getting so big and has changed a lot since I saw her last. I'm sad I am missing out on so much back at home.

Anyway, the reunion was at the Davis Conference Center in Layton and I went with my best friend Scuba Steve. He and I have been friends since sophomore year when we were on the swim team together. We have stayed friends all these years, but being at USU together is where we really got to be close friends. We have been though a lot together and no matter where we are and how far apart, we will always be friends. Cheesy, I know. :-)

The reunion was really fun, dinner, was good, the prizes were nice (I won some tickets to a play this fall), and it was good to see so many old friends. There were lots of people I didn't even get to talk to, but I still had fun. John let me borrow his camera for the night, but I didn't really take that many pictures because I was too busy talking I guess.

Even though it was a quick trip, I am really glad I got to go. I also interviewed for a temporary nanny job while I was up there, so I at least know now what I'm going to be doing for the first few weeks I get home. I'm going to be watching a little girl named Eliza for about 6 weeks while her regular nanny is on maternity leave. This will give me a chance to me working while I job search in Salt Lake once I get home from Lake Powell the first of October. If anyone hears of any great recreation/event planner/program coordinator type jobs, let me know!

In the meantime, I'm going to try to make the most out of the time I have left at Lake Powell. I'm still having a lot of fun, but lots of people are leaving to go back to to school and I will miss them. I have some fun trips planned in the next few weeks and lots of time scheduled to be boating on the lake as well. I'll try to be better about updating my blog...but we all know I am a slacker so I won't make any promises. :-)
