Reunited

Our ten year reunion has come and gone. We saw familiar faces, reminisced about days long gone and toasted to the next ten years. Everyone was genuinely happy to see each other. When I came home that night, my mom asked, "who were you most surprised about?" And to be honest, there was very little surprise - Facebook has sort of made the reunion shock obsolete. I've seen who has three kids, who is a doctor and who has had some interesting life changes.

But what I'm most proud of is the friends I've managed to keep close in the ten years since we graduated (some pictures, some not). These amazing people hold a special place in my heart. And that's not just because this is how we automatically posed for a picture at our pre-party, but it certainly is part of the reason.

Thanks for all the great memories, friends! Thanks for hosting a pre-party for a few of us and our folks, Kathi and Greg! Thanks to Josh and Suze for flying in from Chicago and L.A. And a big thank you to my sweetie pie, Joe, for suffering through enjoying my reunion by my side - there were just so many people I wanted you to meet! :)

Thank you, Josh

For sending me this picture at midnight last night. It took some squinting and time to gain consciousness from my deep, deep, restful sleep (where I was dreaming about puppies, cupcakes, mistletoes and Christmas morning) to decipher what it actually was... When I realized that it read: "Poop on everything", well, I guess I'm still speechless.

But I understand the sense of urgency - sometimes at 2am your time, you just gotta send this important message. (Or at 5am your time, you gotta let me know how frickin' uncomfortable women's high heels are. Or at 3am your time, you gotta let me know that there is a hot Brazilian you're flirting with in the bathroom. Just remember, I'm generally not coherent until five minutes into the conversation.)

So, I'll see your "Poop on everything" and raise you this.

Crandallicious

I just got a lovely text message with this picture.

It read: "Ugly Betty just stopped by my place."

Josh, errr, Betty, you'll always be pretty to me!

(If you remember, Joshie likes to send me

awesome text messages at times.

I can't get enough of them.)

It got me thinking about his costume last year...

I can't decide which one I like better.

What do you think?

(I must say, teenage mutant ninja turtles would be really fun!)

THEN, I started looking through his facebook pics and realized that Josh is the man when it comes to costumes!

We have a little Scooby Doo action...
Throw in some Oompa Loompa...

Mix in a little rhinestone cowboy and mob man...

Then there's... Well, wait, this isn't a costume. This is just a normal Friday night in the life of Josh.


Soooo pretty.
