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 ;)

| Had to drag Main & Savage Ave. to check out our old stomping grounds, the glorious LHS |

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.
**** A little trip down memory lane :) ****

| 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.
