A few weekends ago was my 10 year high school reunion. Yikes, it's been that long?! Also that same weekend, my parents host a annual Balloon Festival Breakfast. Our city sends up tons of hot air balloons that we can see from our house so my parents have put on the breakfast for tons of neighbors and friends. They have been doing it for the past 16 years and I haven't been able to be there in about a decade. So with so much happening in one weekend Jenna and I really wanted to go. As our birthday present this year, my parents flew Jenna and I back to TX for the weekend. No husbands, no kids. It was So. Much. Fun. We had a blast just doing whatever we wanted with no thought of the kids' schedules or needs.
Our reunion consisted of going to our High School football game Friday night and then a rooftop party on Saturday night. I was excited to go because I was pretty involved in my high school and thanks to Facebook have kept in touch with a lot of my friends. But it was pretty weird seeing these people after not seeing them for so long!
It was so interesting to talk and hear what my friends have done these past 10 years. It also got me thinking about what I have done and I have to say that I am so happy about the things I have accomplished since high school. And right now there is no other place I would rather be than in the home raising and teaching my young kids right now. Not every day is super pleasant but I am very happy to have this job.
The balloon fest breakfast was also a blast. I got to see so many neighbors and friends that I haven't seen in so long and it was so great to catch up with everyone. My mom lovingly refers to Jenna and I as mystery children since we have been away for so long, many of their friends have never met us so I also was introduced to lots of new people as well. I got a lot of "Oh you are one of the twins I have heard about."
Such a fun weekend with Jenna!

That is so neat! What a fun idea for your parents to fly you out! I am so surprised that your drill team coach still works there! I don't think i will be able to see any of my former teachers at my ten year. Could your classmates still tell you and Jenna apart???
That sounds like a great weekend! It's so nice to have a mommy break every once in a while.
