20-Year High School Reunion

I went to my 20-year high school reunion over the weekend back in Keller, Texas. It was fun, but kind of disappointing in that not many people were there. Many of my friends did come so that was great to catch up with them again after all this time, but I still wish I could have seen more people.

On Friday, Lara Gerdes (who was visiting her family from Egypt) invited Kim Nixon and I over for a pool party just like old times. It was great to see Lara and her family, including her mom and dad again. Her children are beautiful and awesome swimmers. Kim brought husband Kyle (who I hadn't seen since my wedding) and I brought Reagan. While we were there, Brooke Bradley called and she came over with her kids as well (so cute). It was a great time and brought back a lot of nice memories.

That night we went to some bar in the Stockyards for the first reunion activity. It was great to see Carla Chitwood and Chris James, Mickey L., Mike Dickens, as well as a number of others from our class.

Saturday night was the big party (which only about 50 people attended), but it was still a fun time catching up with people. I really enjoyed seeing Ken April and Karen Russell (who was a champion staying until midnight being 36-weeks pregnant with twins). Karen was my sister's best friend in high school and was hilarious. She married someone from my class so it was fun to see her there. Chad did a great job with the video! Thanks again Chad.

All-in-all, it was a fun time. I just wish more people would have been there, especially my tennis friends. High school seems like so long ago!

Here are some photos from the weekend.
