Because tonight we're going to party like it's 1999...and we did! I was up waaaaaaaaay past my bedtime and was able to party and dance the night away at my 10 year reunion. It was such a blast and I'm so glad that I went. I saw former classmates that haven't changed (which I expected) and saw some former friends that I lost touch with and have rekindled with (which I didn't expect!) All in all it was a fantastic night.
Brooke Anderson and I made it a Girl's Night and left the kids home. Since I haven't seen her in 10 years, it was so nice to catch up and be there together. Thanks, Brooke, for a WONDERFUL memory! And thanks again for all those tootsie rolls that "accidentally" fell into my purse!
Brooke Ewing Anderson, me and Dawn Christensen Dougal
Me and Becca Miller Robison
I am THRILLED that I ran into my old friend! Steve and I used to "jam" and we'd get together to play Smashing Pumpkins and other fun music. Me on the piano and him on his rockin' guitar.
Summer Carringer Wilson, Kendra Severine, Lauren Parry, me and Katie Hansen Givens.
Beautiful girls!! Julie Weyerman Puckett and Amy Vail Hamlin.
Bethany Rudd Tuft dancing it up, and because of the delay of my ancient camera, I was only able to get the BACK half of her!
Summer Carringer Wilson and her husband TJ were dancing it up too, Summer is in the middle of her spin!
Julie dancing away
Bryan Hurd and his absolutely adorable wife. They sat still through THREE pictures because of my stupid camera delay.
Jon and Cathy Taylor
The band "Octane" played and were pretty good! I enjoyed listening to them. My ears rang afterwards because it was SOOOOOO loud!
Amy Willis and her husband danced the ENTIRE night. I actually was the first one to dance with him, he grabbed my hand and we were the only two out there. It was so fun!
Lauren Parry and her boyfriend Corey visiting from SLC. It's also her birthday TODAY, so Happy Birthday old friend!
Danielle Thomas and Billee Jensen were so excited to see each other, I HAD to get this picture. It was so fun to see old friends.
It was held at the Basque Center downtown. I hadn't been there before, it was a nice place.
Adam Nielson won a 1999 tee shirt from the raffle and WORE it! I wanted to get his picture, I had this shirt at one point, but since have lost track of it. Christy Collins hopped in the picture too. I believe that Matt Bodett designed the shirt, I remember him being an amazing artist.
Me, Tiffany Barbour, Natalie Thomas, Billee Jensen. I haven't seen these faces in years!
Adam and Christy again.
There are MORE! I need to get in touch with the others who were snapping pictures, I didn't get enough!!! I should have gotten a picture of me and Brooke at the end of the night, I don't think my feet have hurt like that in YEARS. Plus I was too hyper to sleep after I got home from the event, I didn't go to sleep for a long time! And I could hardly talk because my poor voice was shot. It was such a fun night!!

Oh, these pictures made me cry! I can't believe I wasn't there. I was excited for a 10 year reunion the day we graduated. It sounds like it was a lot of fun!
AAAAHHH!!!That sweet picture made it to your blog?! Man, I wasn't kidding. And now I'm blushing again. It so worth the backside picture to see you and everybody this weekend... of course I am only speaking for myself when I say that.
About that play date...when is a good day for you and your crew?
It looks like fun! I had decided I was going to go on Wednesday and then I got a bad migraine that night...I am bummed now that I didn't just tough it out. Oh well I guess I can wait another 10 years right?
Where are you living now? You're youngest and my daughter look like they would have ball together.
Oh how fun! I always wish I'd taken more pics, but I always get carried away with all the fun!
Brooke thinks the world of you and was excited to go with you. In her words, "Angela is one of the nicest people I know. There isn't a mean bone in her body." What a compliment! Glad you had fun. It was great to see some familiar faces. :) Keep the pictures comin'.
How fun! I'm so glad you were able to go. You have so many good friends. And you look so pretty, Ang. I recognize that shirt. I'm sure I've seen that tshirt come through the laundry...oh, say...a couple hundred times. I didn't throw away any tshirts (ever) because I wanted to make tshirt quilts of all them for you. Let's do that together when I get back, k? It's so windy and rainy tonight. There's a typhoon coming in to another part of China. Not here...but we get the wind and rain still. It's appropriate that the heavens should be crying our last 6 days here. :(
PS. Can't wait to see MORE pics!!
I had such a great time with you! Thank you so much for being my date for the night. I would have to say it was much better without the husbands..haha! You are right, we should make it a tradition. I will for sure see you before our twenty year reunion, but lets plan on it:) Thanks again so much, and thanks for the little gift. You didn't have to do that! You are such a sweatheart. I am going to call you either today or tomorrow to chat. Have a good one, and I am back home safe.
you're so pretty Angela! I miss you. I wish you could be here for my baby shower this weekend...love ya!
Looks like you had such a fun time! You looked so pretty! :)
What a fun time!! I can't wait for my reunion! haha. It was good to see people that I knew too!
Hi Angela,
Thanks so much for putting these fun pics up for all of us who couldn't make the reunion! It's great to be able to see the group together again. Hopefully we can convince Kim and Blake to put on a15 year so we have another opportunity to see everyone! You look great and so happy.
Take care,
Kathy Chi
It was so fun to see you. I'm so bummed I was chasing after my own kids and I didn't get to see all your kids. Looking at the pictures, I don't know that I would have recognized them... they are so big and cute! Make sure you invite us when you go private. mckenzieweber(at)gmail(dot)com
