20 Years

I can't believe I had my high school 20 year reunion. Where did the time go? In the last year thanks to FaceBook I've gotten back in touch with so many people from high school so I really wanted to go. Then as it got closer it was a crazy weekend for me - 3 weekends in a row of travel is not easy for me. But then the week of I found out that 2 of my friends were going stag and I thought it would be fun to tag along. Todd loved this idea (apparently he didn't really want to go after all). So he jumped online and got me tickets a hotel and a car and 2 days later I was off to good old St. Charles, Missouri.

Friday night there was a pre-party at a bar that a guy I graduated with owns. Of course I was the only person not drinking - but it didn't bother me at all. No-one cared that I don't drink and it was so great to see everyone. 90% of the people at the bar were from my high school.


Saturday night was the reunion. It was at the Ameristar Hotel/Casino right on the Missouri River. I took tons of pictures and it was fun catching up with everyone. Almost every person I talked to said "when did you grow?" .... "were you always that tall?" ...... "what happened to little Kathy Schultz?". I did grow 3 inches after graduation (I was 5'6 and 106 pounds at graduation).

DeNeshia was my best friend in the 5th grade.

Our name tags had our senior picture on them -
it was great how much hair everyone had back in 1990

I'm glad I made the effort to go and that Todd was so supportive and took care of the kiddos. I'm also very glad that know who I am - it wasn't hard to stand for what I believe in since I've been this way my entire life. It's really not hard to be accepted when you know who you are.

Hi. I'm Kathy. I don't drink or swear. I live in Utah. I love to run and I have the most amazing husband and 4 kids. Yes 4 kids - it really isn't that big. I'm very happy and I'm a Mormon.

i love that you went. I felt stuck between two high schools and I didn't feel totally connected to either so alas, no 20th reunion for me.

but I'm SO glad you had such a good time.
