For months I have been planning a reunion for my 8th grade class. I loved my 8th grade year and had such a great group of classmates that I was super excited to put this together. 2010 makes 18 years since we graduated from Travis Ranch, for the classmates that moved away after 8th grade it had been that long since I had seen them, for others it had been either since high school or our 10 year high school reunion that took place in 2006. I planned this reunion for Saturday, January 2, 2010 in hopes that I could catch some of the classmates that were in town for the holidays.

I made reunion books for everyone that attended which included a recent pic, an 8th grade pic and a bio about each person. The books turned out great, I was very happy with them! I also made a DVD which was a collection of pictures from people as well as pieces of our Videovation Video Yearbook.

I arrived at the venue 15 minutes or so before everyone else was told to be there. I brought my sister, Ashley along to help me keep things flowing since I am one person and knew that I would need more than 2 hands. Plus she remembered a bunch of people from my class and I think it was entertaining for her to see people as well. People slowly trickled in and I handed out wrist bands for the area we had reserved as well as their name tags and reunion books.

About an hour and 45 minutes after the event was set to begin I played the DVD that I had made for everyone. It was pretty funny to watch people's reactions to some of the old pics and video. Totally worth it. I took a bunch of pictures of the night and created an album so everyone could see the pics.

I had an awesome time, I had a grin the entire night from ear to ear (well until the end when my energy had died and I was SO ready for bed). It's hard for me to stay up past midnight. Hehe. I have heard nothing but great remarks from the people that attended so it makes me so happy that I was able to pull this off and get all of these people together. So many people enjoyed it that they requested we do it again. And some of the people that wanted to come to this event but couldn't are really pushing for another one as well so they can hopefully make that one. I think it is my duty to oblige. Hehe...plus it was so dang fun, why not?
