a mini High School reunion

Dear Chicken Nugget,

Today we got together with some of my old High School buddies.  Lots has changed!

Leonid was one of the first people I met in the seventh grade.

the restaurant was warm so we let you show off your chest hair

But now Leonid is a doctor and has his own baby!

You loved hanging out with my old high school friends and made sure everyone knew to hold you out so you could be a part of the conversation.

Meryl, Nugget, Adam, & Tom

Meryl was one of the first people I met in High School and is now a Veterinarian.  Adam, like Leo, went to Junior High and High School with me and is now a lawyer in Washington, DC for the US government.  And Tom is an old friend from High School who uses his degree in Finance to help people navigate the insurance world and does some acting on the side.

Our friend Beth was a friend of a friend in high school and didn't technically go to high school with us but no one really remembers that.  She hung out with us so often we pretty much thought she went to school with us.  Beth was an animal behaviorist and now studies human behavior for marketing. 

We had a really good time catching up with one another, trading baby stories, and making plans to get together again.

I hope that when you get to high school you get a chance to make friends with a bunch like mine.  We spent a lot of time with one another, through the ups and downs that are a sure part of teenage life, but my memories of them are overwhelmed with laughter. 

We had a good time and continue to do so.

Eternally yours,

Tu papa
