Kate's Wedding and High School friends


Last weekend, which was a long time ago, i had four of my best friends from high school over to my house to celebrate Kate's single life one last time. It was a great time. We looked at old photo albums of our elementary, junior high and high school lives, we talked about boys we had crushes on...and those we still do have crushes on, we talked about something that i cant mention on this rated G blog site, we watched Vollie fall asleep at like 10:00 and laughed at her a little, and of course talked about Kates big wedding day. It was a fantastic evening. As i think back on that night i am just so thankful that i have continued to celebrate life's journey with these 3 ladies. they are solid. of course, we are all in different stages of life- but all still have things to offer one another. I would not be the same person with out having the influences they have had on me. they stayed the night and i really thought about trying to freeze their bra's like we did back in high school, but didn't want them to forget them- so...i didn't. but i did chuckle at myself at the thought of it. Yesterday (Saturday June 21st) was Kate's wedding. It was a perfect day. The wedding was very nice, but very Catholic. I am NOT use to Catholic weddings at all. i was lost most of the time. but it was so Kate and she looked fantastic. We moved quickly out to the Kramschuster Home for the reception. It was so beautiful. A big white tent with well decorated tables. We all drank out of fine wine glasses and had awesome food. Man, it was a great time.
Of course, we just wouldn't be us unless we did something silly and made idiots out of ourselves; note picture above. not sure what it is we are doing. but it was funny- thats for sure. we spent the night dancing, drinking and laughing. there was some pretty fun entertainment there. I swear- Kid Rock was there....
As the night came to a close the bugs came out like crazy. Here Vollie and I are trying to keep them from bitting us- she wrapped up in a table cloth and i in Kate's vail again. funny huh!

Andy Opsaul I get - he at least wasn't terrible to look at and the family had some nice money. Some these other guys though.... Tyler Visser or Bill Chose?? Wow, those 2 I just don't understand. You should have been aiming a bit higher than those jokers.

I was always partial to Jessica Boxrude and Kelly Anderson (the girl).

You are all even more beautiful than you were back in the good old days!! And count me in for the wanting to know the Anonymous poster too! I think you were right not to have a crush on him if he can't reveal his identity...

Good luck trying to get that identity out of me... Good to see Kara checking in though since I just about forgot how cute she was. WOW is all I can say.

Maybe you should start guessing who I am - or maybe who you would like me to be. And yes, you all should have had a crush on me.
