Ten Fun Things that I did in 2010 Part 3

Here are the final three, but they were pretty big!

8. Reunion- I didn't think I would ever actually go to any of my high school reunions. I wasn't popular in high school, and in most ways it doesn't go down as a high point in my life. But my curiosity got the best of me, and I wanted to see my old friends. So off to Casper, Wyoming I went to the Kelly Walsh 1990 reunion. Even though, I had a couple moments of wondering what the hell I had gotten myself into, it turned out to be a weekend to remember. The naughty side of me slightly relished in the fact that some of the members of my class had not aged as well as I had. But From late night chats in I-Hop to skinnydipping in a friend's pool it was all a lot of fun. The most important thing was that I was reminded of what good friends I had when I was in high school. Maybe I didn't have quantity, but I had quality. I don't think I fully appreciated that until that weekend.

9. That damn dog- If you read this, don't tell Devon. But though I still don't like the circumstances that she came into our house, I have grown pretty attached to that goofy mophead dog of ours, Sophie. I don't really appreciate that she makes travelling a bit more difficult, but her little naughty energy brings a lot of fun into the house.True, our house is much messier because of her and I don't really love walking her as soon as I get home from work, But she has ended up being a pretty sweet ball of fur. Our cat would likely not agree.

10. European vacation- I could have easily just picked ten highlights from my 5 week return to Europe this summer. Even though it wasn't the same as seeing Europe my very first time when I went in 2005, many great adventures were had. I experience World Cup madness in Amsterdam, once again explored the amazing neighborhoods of Paris, laid on a beautiful beach in Portugal, wandered the mazelike streets in Florence and drank a lot of beer in Prague. It was five weeks of my life that I will always be glad that I had. It sure helped that I flew first class round trip. I'm already feeling the itch for my next European Vacation in 2012 or 2013. I will be much more Eastern European focused then!
