CAMS High School Reunion: 10 years

I have recently been inspired by my friend Peter's blog, so I am going to try and do shorter and perhaps more frequent blog posts now! Thanks Peter. It would usually take me a couple of days (sometimes a week!) to write out my posts and by that point I would already have so much more to write about. So we will see how these goes.

CAMS Class of 2004!

This past weekend was Alex's 10 year high school reunion! Isn't that crazy? It seems crazy, but we celebrated our 10 year anniversary last year so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. Realizing that high school did indeed end 10 years ago gave me a mix of emotions. On one hand I felt like high school was so long ago and that 10 years does go by really slow, but on the other hand I realized that in 10 years I will be close to 40! Let this be a reminder to live everyday to the fullest and don't wait around for anything. As an old friend once said, "Don't talk about, be about it!"

 The reunion itself was held at a nice restaurant in Redondo Beach called HT Grill. We had the "Napa Room" all to ourselves. The invite said "Adults Only" but Henley has never really left our side, so of course he went. Our new ring sling came in handy! There were about 35 people there, although I think only 20 or so went to CAMS. Everybody was super friendly and I enjoyed chatting and reminiscing about high school days. I hadn't met many of them in high school, so it was fun having people show me their yearbook photos.   Dinner was amazing and Henley ate everything they served including salad with feta, clam chowder, salmon, asparagus, mashed potatoes, mushroom, tofu, risotto, and chocolate mousse! He is definitely not picky when it comes to food!

Tasty food!

We were put at the kids table. Just kidding! It just worked out that way. 

 During dessert each CAMS student stood up and talked about life since high school. Afterwards they had setup different games having to do with CAMS or 2004 pop culture trivia.

How hot are they?

Overall we had such a great time. Henley was a trooper until about 9:15pm, which is way past bedtime. He quickly passed out on the drive home though. So next up is the Brea Olinda reunion, which I believe is at the end of October. I don't talk to many people from high school, so it will be fun to see what everybody's up to.
