January

January was a fast month and as I look back, it's hard to even remember what all we did! January usually is a slow month, recovering from the holiday's and getting back into the swing of things. Some of the highlights were:

• I started my new job January 4, which I will update about in another post
• H started classes (for those who don't know, he is taking classes to sit for the CPA exam)
• Erica and I traveled to Springfield for Whitney's baby shower
• Girls' Night at "The New Pi" with GG, Erica, Prity and Jen
• Celebrated Mike's birthday at the "Annual Food and Wine Experience"
• Celebrated Liz's 30th Birthday at her Prince's Purple Party in Mascoutah
• Traveled to C-Town to hang out and spend time with the P's after mom's knee surgery
• H traveled to Evansville, IN to visit Emily and Dan in their new home

Ten Years Already

This weekend we had my 10 year high school reunion. I still can't believe it has been 10 years! It was a weekend of reminiscing and spending time with our high school friends. The weekend began on Friday with a Meet and Greet at the Centralia History Museum. The museum holds history of Centralia and some great memorabilia. It was a casual and very fun evening, which ended at the Downtown Lounge, a popular watering hole in C-town. The next day there was a picnic (which I unfortunately did not make), but the weather was beautiful and it was perfect for the event. That afternoon, H and I headed over to the Elks to help set up for the evening festivities. Joe, Chi-ch, H and I worked hard to make sure the hall was up to par for our classmates. Joe supplied some great pictures and high school memorabilia for everybody to look at, which made for some interesting conversation starters as well. We had a great dinner and of course followed by dancing! Along with our reunion festivities, it was so nice to be home for more than 1 day. We were able to spend time with my parents and the Gupta's, who came to visit us from Chicago.

Here are some pics from the weekend! It was so wonderful to catch up with old friends, we have to get together more often then every 10 years! Thanks Joe and Chi-ch for all the planning for a great weekend!
