My 40th class reunion was on Saturday night. It was something I'd been looking forward to for months. There is something about seeing all the "kids" you were young and dumb with once upon a time. No reason to even try to put on any masks because we all remembered the nutty stuff we used to do. Labels: high school reunion

Colleen Coble writes romantic suspense with a strong atmospheric element. A lovable animal of some kind--usually a dog--always populates her novels. She can be bribed with DeBrand mocha truffles.
Denise Hunter writes women's fiction and love stories with a strong emotional element. Her husband says he provides her with all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too.
Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

Sounds like you had a blast, C! If I had it to do over, I'd care a lot LESS what everyone else thought and just be myself.
I agree with Denise...no, wait, I didn't care so much about what people thought. That's why I was the class weirdo. I wish I'd paid more attention to my classes and listened better to the teachers instead of being one of the rabble rousers. Some of us girls from my graduating class get together for a pajama party every year, and we're trying to encourage more to join us. It's so much fun being with people you've known since grade school. Colleen, you look wonderful!!
I barely remember high school, so much has happened since then (LOL). Then again, it may be early-onset of dementia! My 40th is coming up next summer, but I can't decide if I'll go or not because I don't know hardly anyone. My class was large--869--and I haven't kept up with many people. You're so fortunate! :)
Great picture of you, Colleen!
You have me thinking about my daughter who is just now entering high school! I don't want her to have any regrets, alas I know she will. This post has me rethinking my whole way of approaching "high school once again." I will be a more encouraging mother. Stand up for her if she is feeling bad about herself. I have so much more to say about my lovely daughter but that will only end up in tears. I am so proud of her. Please pray for my daughter as she goes through high school! Gods Blessings Heather
I married the guy who sat behind me in sophomore English class (but not until he was in his 2nd year of med school.) He used to pull my long blonde hair! And I'm friends with others from my HS.
I would've played tennis instead of being on the track team. (Though being on track made me a good track coach--my girls were city champions!) And I would've gone out for the golf team (and would have been the only girl on the team.) The coach kept encouraging me but back then I worried about my dad saying no.
I enjoyed hearing about your classmates and how much you enjoyed your reunion.
I'm only ten years out of high school but a completely different person! I would love to tell my high school self to pay attention, try harder, not be so mean, and realize that the world doesn't revolve around boys (though my world does kind of revolve around boys, but I guess that happens when you are a stay at home mom :)
