5 more years til my next reunion..

1yr ago I started planning my high school reunion.  I knew that there had to be good food, lots of people, entertainment, music, and plenty of time to mingle.  I knew that I had to get the word out to all the people of my graduating class.  I knew that I needed to have a committee to help with the process as to not be overwhelmed. I did all of those things.  And as luck would have it….I GOT SICK FRIDAY NIGHT. Not just kinda sick..you know the kind where you don’t feel great but you still muster through the ordeal.  I am talking about not able to speak, headache, fever, achy body sick. 
The sickness couldn’t have come next weekend or the last weekend it had to be on the one weekend that my high school reunion took place. 
I had a good time though.  Lots of people that I hadn’t seen in a long time showed up.  It was fun to see how some things from high school still have not changed.  The cool kids sat with the cool kids.  The nerdy kids hung out with the nerdy kids.  Few crossed social borders and few expected them to.  One of the most entertaining portions of the evening was when I asked people to tell me what they thought would come to them in the next 10 yrs.  From over 75 alumni these were the only four answers:
1. Be Retired (it didn’t get funnier as I kept hearing the same joke”
2. Travel a lot “We like to travel and hope our kids will like to travel”
3. “Have a couple more kids” says the husband. “One more” Says the wife
4. Hopefully be married and not living in my parents house
I had a lot of specific goals (of course I had a lot of time to think about it and I knew the question was coming) I thought I would share those here.
By June 21st 2018 I would like to:
Have a mortgage. Either owning my own home, townhouse, or condo
Be married.. maybe a kid or two…(Save us all from little Richy’s wandering around)
Be making enough money to rise above the poverty line
If not still working for Kerry Bill and Gina, still be “in good” with them (No Brett Smith incident)
Complete a triathlon
Write an entire play (for Desert Star or elsewhere)
Won an award for something, work, theatre ,or other related.
Go sky diving
Go to the Holy land (You know, Palmyra, Kirtland, Nauvoo)
Shake hands with the Prophet.
I suppose that is all…
