highschool reunion

Ok so lately I haven't been blogging..what was the date on the last one? Anyways there hasn't been too much to blog about. I try to save it until I have enough to talk about.
on October 9-12, we went down to Alabama for my high school reunion. I was excited to go because I wanted to see how many people actually show up and how much they have changed. I wasn't shocked that only about 15 people showed up and no one I really hung around.
Friday during the day, we went to the Army Aviation Museum on Fort Rucker. Brandon is on a plane and helicopter kick now and just had a great time. He was scared to go into the Chinook, but once he went in, he wouldn't come out and loved the cockpit display they have upstairs where you can get in with all the controls and stuff. He also loved looking at the Predator display..I think that's what it's called. It looks like a toy but has radar on it and they throw it up instead of going into enemy territory blinded, they "spy" with it. Mike says they use them in Iraq. I've seen videos of his unit using it and it was pretty cool.






We went to a football game that night and per usual the team lost. They were playing Eufala, who is a hard team anyways but that's besides the point. They won I think a total of 5 games the whole 4 years I went to that school and they were all homecoming games and we all know the other schools were begged and paid to have mercy on us so we could win.






One thing they did, that I don't recall ever happening when I went to school, was after the game the team came up to the band, the band played the alma matter and they sang it...I thought it was wonderful school spirit even though they lost!

The next day we all met at Stegall Park right by the high school and had a family day. Brandon was at nap time so he wasn't exactly happy but he did have a good time. I think this was the first time he swung on the swings by himself. not a baby swing, a big swing...I was sooo proud.




I threw in a slide pic too! He's just adorable!
Saturday night, we went to dinner at Applebee's in Ozark. I had a blast drinking and laughing with everyone at the table. More people showed up there about 25-30 or so but again, people I could have cared less to see. Some people didn't change at all while others I didn't recognize! Someone had brought their yearbook and said that I was the one that changed the most. I took it as a compliment. I was such a geek in high school. All in all, I had a good time! I would do it again in 10 more years.
