TTC after 35

20th High School Reunion

I went to my reunion last night with DH and a girlfriend. I was not disappointed! At my 10 year reunion, it was a huge self-esteem boost because I look better than in high school (I was a yearbook geek and very quiet). After 20 years, it was still good for the self-esteem! Last night, the gay guy in drag showed up again, so it was definitely interesting. This time he didn't wear a dress, but a very short outfit with fishnet tights. I'll have to put a picture on soon so you can see his corset outfit. It was interesting!  I went to a very large school, and spent a lot of the night looking at people's chests/nametags to identify them. It was a fun night overall. Anyone else had their 20 year and gone?

Re: 20th High School Reunion

  • Well, I went to my 10 year High School Reunion, but I did not go the 20 year High School Reunion which was this past June.  It just was not the best time for me and husband to take a vacation.  I really debated whether or not to go.  In the end, I just wanted to save the money and focus on TTC and having a healthy child in the future.  And I am also at a size 6 from my previous pregnancy.   It was fun to see people at the 10 year, but I felt with the website I pretty much knew how most people were doing.

    I was surprised at how many kids some women had and that some women from my class have given up their careers to be a SAHM. 

     I am thinking I have heard that there may be a 25 year High School Reunion.  Hopefully, I will have kids by then--keeping up with the Jones'.

  • Mine was last fall butI didn't go and several of my friends that did said it was really fun. Also, the organizers created a Facebook group and posted the photos which was great.  I would go to the next one.

  • I went to my 20th reunion in 2007, Wow I feel old now! ?The girls definitely fared better than the guys! ?I still keep in touch with a few friends from high school, so we all went together with our husbands. ?We all had a good time. Of course, it was the same as high school, all the jocks sat together and all the cheerleaders sat together! ?(I was more of the student council, honor roll kid!)?

  • DH & I did not go to ours last year because it was 1 month before our wedding and we just couldn't swing taking 2 trips to the same place so close together with work & such.  I have seen pics and some have definitley not aged well....I agree with Lizzy, it is a little ego boost :)

  • I went to my 20th reunion last year. Wasn't too bad. Everyone asked if we had kids. But I just figured that was a normal question to ask someone you hadn't seen or talked to in at least 10 years.
  • I went last fall and had the best time ever!

    Our class was very small, so everyone knew everyone. And we all had a grand time seeing each other again.

  • I didn't go to mine.  Partially because we moved after my sophomore year.  I lost contact (except for recently through FB) with my friends from PA (fresh and soph yrs) and didn't keep in contact with anyone from here, VA because I didn't really make any close friends since everyone had already kind of formed their close groups by junior year and I just kind of hung on the outside of people who I was 'friends' with.  I think I would have possibly had fun if I had gone to the one from PA as I was better friends with those people, but at that point I also had a 4 month old and it wasn't really conducive to traveling.

  • Mine is this summer, and we already had plans when it was decided (a few months ago).

    Kudos to you Lizzy for rockin' the 20 year reunion! And I'd for sure like to see those fishnets. 

  • Mine is in October.  If I'm not pregnant I'll go.  I graduated with 1500 people and everyone is really starting to talk about it (via Facebook).
