Friday's Letters #39: 10 Year High School Reunion Edition

{High School Graduation w/my BFF - May 31, 2003}

Dear Bri: Thanks for agreeing to come with me tonight for the reunion festivities...I know you are super excited would much rather be doing pretty much anything else! LOL So I really appreciate you being a good husband. AND I'm looking forward to eating fresh caught fish from your work fishing trip on Saturday...did I just jinx you by talking about the fish already?! Oops!

Dear Weekend: I cannot even believe I am saying that my high school reunion is this weekend. Mind blowing! Not so much looking forward to Saturday because I am planning on catching up on treatment plans. Yuck! I really try not to work on the weekends. It saves my sanity.

Dear 10 Year Reunion: It does not feel like an entire decade has gone by. Craziness! There are events all weekend but I am choosing to only attend tonight's get together. It's been held at a local outdoor bar...hopefully the weather will cooperate. Am I being a party pooper for not attending more activities? I just know me and I know that I will end up just hanging out with my BFF & our husbands. I'm the shy-est outgoing person you'll meet. I am not good about initiating conversations and coming up with random topics. Then with my closest friends and family, I just don't shut up. Ever. B wishes I was joking about this. ;) I've also sort of decided that while Facebook brings long lost friends together and can keep you in touch with way more than your inner circle - it totally takes away the whole mystery of a reunion. I'd probably go to more of the events if I didn't already know what was going on with so many people from high school.

Dear future home: Please magically appear. B & I have been house hunting on our own for a few weeks and just took the step of getting pre-approved for a mortgage. Of course, then there was an article about how the number of homes available has gone down and blah, blah, blah. Just our luck...buying a home is finally on our horizon & well I'll be damned, there are no homes that we like or in our price range. If it wasn't for B's job, I would move out of Palm Beach County. It's ridiculous. Only here would a fixer-upper house come with a $300,000 price tag. Whew...I feel better now that I got that out.
Dear Job: Remember last week when I wrote my letters and included that I had just celebrated my 1 year workiversary and was feeling positive at that moment. Yeah, positive-ness is gone. I am happy with the company and my supervisors and work friends. This just is not what I ever wanted to do. The work I do now is not at all the reason I wanted to become a therapist. It's frustrating. 

{{Wow, my last two letters were whiny! LOL I try to keep things pretty light and positive here on my blog but I don't want it to seem like I don't struggle or have my bad days. I just prefer not to focus on the bad and remember the bad. Clearly, I am feeling the need to vent this week!}}

Dear Husband: Saturday is our 6 months of marriage anniversary. Yay! The time has really flown by. It doesn't feel like it's been that long at all. Honestly, it still hasn't sunk in that we're married. Although, that might have something to do with the fact that we've been living like a married couple for years & years. We'll be celebrating our one year anniversary before you know it. Maybe we can go to Savannah...hint.hint. Ha! I love you to the moon and back!

What are you doing this weekend?
