20 years on.....

Wow....... 20 years since we left high school (well to be honest it is 21 1/2 years for me - I left half way through year 11). I was sooo stressed and anxious about it and as I mentioned before catching up with Candy and Kylie earlier in the day was great. The three of us arranged to meet at the club about 1/2 an hour before things started to have a drink together and work up some dutch courage!
.

It was actually a great night. Took lots of pics - did heaps of catching up with people - oh..... and got a dance or two in! There was lots of laughs - lots of fun. We had 98 people turn up which was amazing (we were missing a small group as the "cool" group from high school decided to hold their own seperate reunion and have a beach party at Huskisson. Gee pity it poured with rain hey!......hehe now we really sound like we are back at school). In true form for our year at school we got shut down by the club an hour early due to over intoxification (against RSA to continue to serve us alcohol) and behaviour not welcome at the club (although in our defence it was the husband of one our classmates that caused the trouble... not actually one of us!).

Sorry about all the pics but this is seriously just a portion of them

This first pic is of Kelley and I. Kel was my friday/saturday night skating buddy, my smoking partner, and sharer of many a bottle of passionpop (and whatever else we could raid from our parents liquor cabinets). I don't know how she managed it but she hasn't changed a bit. Kel and Tracey. Tracey was the main organiser of our reunion and a member of our "group" at school.

Myself, Kathryn and Tina

My saviours of the night - couldn't have got through it without them! Kylie, Tracey and Candy

Kirsty, Candy, Kathryn and Tracey

Talk about flashback! When loking through the photos taken on the night this one brought back memories - there is a very similar one of the three of us at our year 10 formal!

Tracey, Aneta and I

Tracey and her wonderful husband Rod

Kel with her 2 Rods (Her hubby and Tracey's hubby)

Of course we did the nutbush!!!!!!!

More of the old gang. Tracey, Tina, Stephanie, Tracie and Raquel

Wow - this girl and I spent sooooo much time with each other - both at school and when we left school. We had our own special nicknames for each other and our own hieroglyphic code that we wrote many, many letters to each other in. We hadn't caught up for about 18 months so it was great to sit and chat (and yes we will make more of an effort)

Yeah not the best pic but more guys from our old gang. Mick, Matt and Mick.

Yep we have all grown up..... apparently! We shared lots of old stories..... including some which totally mortified Candy..... she couldn't remember getting up to some of the mischief we had in the past and spent a lot of the night saying "Are you sure" and "Did we really do that".
