30 Year Reunion Weekend

What can I say about this weekend?

If you missed it, you missed history being made for our class. It was soooooooo much fun! I am still amazed at how many people were at Jackson's on Friday night. We're estimating 150-200. That place was hopping!

Saturday night was a hit also. The fun gambling was busy all evening. Thanks to the Lions Club for having such a fun activity! The DJ was playing music all night near the dance floor and even though the dancing didn't start until later, the music was wonderful to have playing in the background.

There was more food than we could eat in one night. The convention center did a good job on our event.

I've also realized that I have the best friends in the world! This past 2 months have been very hard for my family with Dad being so sick. For those that do not know, Dad lost his fight with emphyzema on Wednesday, July 29th. I've been very emotional this week and someone has always been there to step up and help with the reunion or give me a hug or even just listen to me.

My husband is the best guy in the whole world! We laugh together and we cry together. Friday night, he was always there to hand me a drink, due to the fact that we had so many people at Jackson's that I never even made it the bar myself! He was very patient with my talking and him being introduced to so many people that he'll never remember all the names. He does take good care of me! I love him so much! I'm a very lucky woman!

So, who's ready for the 35th?
