My 10 Year Class Reunion

I can hardly believe it!! It is time for my 10 year class reunion. Reuniting with my old classmates was such a blast! Our class president, Brooke, did an outstanding job of organizing the event. I tried to do as much as I could being 300 miles away but at times I still didn't feel very productive. Nonetheless, we had a decent

number of participants. Initially, I was worried about my "single" status. I felt as if I would be questioned to no end about the fact that I wasn't married and didn't have any kids. It just seemed as if I was way behind the curve. As time went on, I cared less about myself and more about reconnecting with those I hadn't seen or heard from since 1998.

To my surprise, a vast majority of my classmates that were married didn't bring their significant other. They wanted to have a good time and not have to worry about entertaining. As a single woman, I definitely understand that logic. I always have to weigh whether to bring a date to a wedding or a house party, because I like to be in the "mix" of things and don't want to have to stress over my date having a great time with my friends.

Overall, I had a GREAT time!! To see more pictures, visit our class website Berkeley High School Class of 1998

Skydiving!!

Believe it or not...I did it! I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane. Why?? Because I needed to have some excitement for my 28th birthday! In addition, it was an item on my bucket list. I have no idea how I am going to top this for my 30th, but plans are in motion.

I have no regrets on this jump. As you can see from the video, I appeared to be carefree. It was scary initially, when I had to sign all these documents stating that if I die, my family could not sue the company, Skydive Orange...even if the death was their fault. Nonetheless, I still found myself initialing and signing my life away as if I was purchasing a home.

Skydiving is fun, but it is considered an extreme sport. That said, I still think it is an experience and adventure that YOU should give a try!
