Could it possibly have been 10 (TEN) years ago that we last walked
the halls of Lamar High School? That I stood in the Sr. hallway watching
Rachel Bowen fumble over our locker combination, time and time again?
That we climbed out of the window in Peggy Machone's math class to ditch
out of calculus, and pretended to do physics with Mr. Schlott, (but
really went on daily donut runs)??? How quickly the years really do go
by.
Last weekend, a few of the kids from the Class of
'03 gathered again in Lamar, CO. And though we are all 10 years older,
it really seemed just like a regular high school night. We had a BBQ and
drinks in the Larrick's backyard {{Shout-out to Jim & Anita for
still being the cool parents}}, and ended up at none other than the
infamous Desiree's Nightclub. I know I for one, partied like it was
1999. ((Although I never once partied in 1999, nor 2000-2003 for that
matter!) HAHA! I'm pretty sure that last Saturday night my former class
mates witnessed me making up for all those high school parties I did not
attend ;)

A couple shots of Fireball, and
a few rounds of Malibu Sunrises later, I was let loose and ready to get
my dance on. Leandra made the ultimate mistake of teaching me how to
twerk. {{uh oh}}

| Leandra decided to be bartender. Oh, wait...that looks like a first aid kit....Oh boy. |

| Andrew M.F. Aguilera made an appearance! |
I couldn't stop myself. I was twerking all
over the place. Fortunately I was saved by my sister who came to my
rescue and took me home before I could further embarrass myself. For
those of you who were not there to witness; well let me just say thank
you :)

| Ladies & Gentlemen: Me in all my glory. |

| Look who came to save me from myself :/ Thank you, Sister |
It was fun and crazy, and I'm so glad I
made it home for this. It was fun to see some old friends and classmates
and see where life has taken us so far. Some of us are married, some
with kids. Some of us still act like kids ((pointing finger at self)).
Most of us have moved away from Lamar and Colorado, but I am happy to
see that some of us are very happy and successful in Lamar. It's a great
town that I am proud to be from. I am lucky that I grew up there among
such a great crowd. Until next time, keep it classy, class of '03. Hope
to see more of you in 2023. whoa.

| Umm, I kinda forgot about this. I was really the homecoming queen? Awkward... |
 |
| Even more
awkward....my freshman through senior yearbook photos. Apparently I
traded in the bangs of my freshman and sophomore years for stripes in my
junior and senior years. |
Oh goodness. Life is fun.
