10 YEARS!

Earlier this month we drove up to Pinetop for my 10 year high school reunion. I was especially excited to get out of the heat and enjoy the cool pines, and that's exactly what we did. The reunion started Saturday with a family picnic during the day, and then Jared and I got to go eat without kids that night. The best part about the reunion for me was seeing everyone all grown up and running after little kids of their own, and it was interesting finding out what people have been up to. Jared really enjoyed getting to know the Christine he never knew. I think the best part of the day for him was when we took a tour of the school. He had fun taking lots of pictures. Most everybody looked the same, except me. My hair used to be really curly, but having children has changed my hair and so it's not as curly anymore. I usually wear it straight, but I wondered if some would have trouble recognizing me. Sure enough, I said hi to an old classmate, he shook my hand and said, "Nice to meet you." I laughed and told him who I was and he said he didn't recognize me with straight hair! Saturday night we had the privledge of staying with Jared's sister, Jenny + Family in Taylor, and then Sunday we went to church and had a great time visiting with the Shumway family! Thank you Don and Jenny for watching the boys and for always having a place ready for us. We love you! Here's to 10 years!

I know the feeling when no one recognizes you. I had really curly hair in high school and always straighten it now, so when I see some one I haven't for a long time, they have no clue who I am. You look adorable!! Glad you had fun.
