Class Reunion Weekend.

I finally had time to get some pics from the class reunion on here! We had a great turn-out for all the events this past weekend and it was a blast!! Friday night out in Old Town~

Pretty much the entire bar was our classmates - it was so much fun!! The next morning we did a tour of the school. (I think some people ended up a little hungover!)

It is crazy how much the school has changed in just 10 years! There is a whole new wing and it feels like we didn't even go to school there!

Next up - a BBQ at Sedgwick County Park. It was a hot day but we still had a lot of people come! A huge thank you to our grill master Chad!

Finally time for the main event - "A Night at the Museum". This was our formal dinner/program at the Museum of World Treasures.

These are some memory boards we put together from memorabilia that some of us still had - ok, a lot of it was my stuff! What can I say? My mom doesn't throw ANYTHING away!! :)

We also blew up pages from the yearbooks and school papers for decorations too.

Linds and I enjoying our signature drink for the evening - a Blue Grizzly Growler! Yum!

The reunion committee (minus Michelle). It was so great to see all of our time and effort turn into a fantastic weekend!!

More and more classmates~

Phuong told me that she remembered me using her as a head rest in high school - so of course we had to take a picture for old times sake! :)

We finally got to relax at the after party at The Pumphouse! Whew! What a great weekend!

Cheers to another 10 years!!!

Flashback Friday - Marge.

A sad day.

This morning my Aunt Marge passed away after her tough battle with cancer. Even though this is such a sad time for our family I think it is amazing to see the way God works through situations like this. My mom had an overwhelming compulsion to head down to see my Aunt yesterday and as it turns out got there just in time to help support my Uncle when he needed someone most. She also got to spend some very meaningful time with my Aunt before she passed. Yesterday I was reading a blog that I follow and it was all about perspective after losing a loved one. What amazing timing for me to see this - (I took these lines from their blog and personalized the second paragraph).

"Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are quite small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us an immeasurably great glory that will last forever.''
1 Corinthians 4:16-17

“Putting the years of life without Marge in perspective of eternity with her makes the time of waiting seem bearable and even brief…So while we wait, we nurture an eternal perspective, a view in which our struggles look small and brief in comparison to the vast joys and eternal satisfaction of forever-life with God.”

I felt the need to share this with my Uncle (I just sent it to him a little bit ago) and also all of you.
