Last weekend was my 15 year high school class reunion (go DHS class of '95!).
It was a low-key, potluck dinner and I think I counted about 20 class members (along with spouses and kids) in attendance. That may not seem like many, but it's not a bad percentage when there's only 69 people in my graduating class.
The evening started out a little rigid and formal, as we all went around and took turns telling about where we live, what we do, our families, etc. But it was good to hear about everyone and learn what everyone has been up to.
Once everyone got their dinner and sat down, the conversation was a lot of fun. Hearing stories about classmates' children and spouses, remembering memories from our school days (from elementary through high school) and learning about other classmates who weren't there was really enjoyable. It was like old times again, and I remembered how much I really enjoyed school in Declo and the classmates that I graduated with.
It was a little bit strange being the only one there without kids. And when someone mentioned "Hey, do you realize that we've been graduated long enough to have started over at Kindergarten and graduated all over again?", I had a dose of reality as to how old I really am. But, for the most part, it was a great time and made me feel like a young buck again.
I certainly looking forward to July 11, 2015. 20 year class reunion, here we come!

Fun!! Don't worry, Chris, you're not old. Only in Idaho are you the only one without kids at a reunion, hahaha.
I kind of wish I had a small H.S. class. I don't think my 15-year reunion will be as fun and chatty and intimate with a graduating class of 850.
