Last night was my high school reunion. It has been ten years now since i left high school and so in many respects could have been quite daunting. Nevertheless, it wasn’t. In fact, it was a great night where everyone pretty much looked the same, perhaps adding 5-10kgs.

Nicole and Jess had no doubt put a massive effort into organising the night, so thanks must go to them first. It was good to see a couple of old teachers at the event, one particularly made the night eventful. What was possibly a highlight of the night was the fact that i scored a pair of BHS boxer shorts, which will now save me from buying a new pair in the next couple of months.

The primary questions asked throughout the night was, “How have you been?”, and the typical answer was, “I am well.” Trying to put 10 years worth of life into about 30-60sec is quite a hard thing to do without feeling as if you are trying to make yourself look good.

It is interesting to see what people are doing and how things have turned out. I’m not sure anyone would have picked me to be a youth and young adults pastor at a church, it seemed to floor a number of people. In any case, it was good to catch up with old school friends, find time or reminisce, and have a drink too. While in some ways you look back and either wonder where the last ten years have gone, or, ponder why you didn’t keep up friendships that seemed to be so good so long ago. Either way, however, it was just a night of catching up with old friends and trying to remember people’s names.

For those that were there – it was good to see you. For those that weren’t – you were missed.
