WBW-Vacation Edition

A long, long time ago.. say... 10 years.. (good Gawd, my reunion is this year. Great reminder here. *sigh*)..a group of recent grads went to Cancun. How we got our parents to ever agree to this, I'm still not certain. The advent of google has definitely brought the ability for parents to actually research these "senior trips" more. Back then, that would have likely provided the reason I was grounded for even asking to go. haha! Nah, we were a good group really. It wasn't anything like you see on MTV spring break these days, that's for sure. 

I don't remember how many people went from our school...maybe 25? Some other area schools went at the same time and stayed at the same place, so it was like Tulsa/Owasso/Catoosa descended upon Mexico for one week. These were the four girls who made up our room-Lisa, me, Blaze and Shawna. :) You'll notice I got some of my hair braided. Yes, that's right. A random local used her comb to braid my hair and put beads in it. *shudder* What was I thinking?! 

You'll also notice how much we looked like high schoolers...and how much I totally think today's high school girls DO NOT look like high schoolers. Am I right here?! 

My friend, Chris, got a funny hat. I made a funny face. It was a funny picture. Whatever. (You can tell our room was super clean). Chris and I are still friends and he even dated my friend in law school for a couple years... funny! I even joined Chi O due in part to his awesome big sister, Julie! 

High school boys are so mature when there's a girl (Shawna from pic above) buried in the sand. Yes, I posted this b/c if you even remotely knew him, you'd laugh b/c he was the perpetual joker... The guy in the middle was one of my best high school guy friends. We even reconnected (thank you, myspace) last year and chaperoned our old high school's prom! See pic. He decided to go into something dangerous in the Coast Guard (recon missions and stuff) and sadly, we lost touch again. :( Doubt he'll be at the reunion...boo... 

Will my children go on a senior trip? That's a toughie... If they're gonna make bad decisions, they're gonna make them regardless of where they are. But, dude.. I can bet the money from my trip would have been spent a little better in say...Europe. haha... 

I'm almost packed!!! YAY!! I took the day off tomorrow even though we don't leave til later just to get stuff finished. So thankful I thought about that! 

I dunno if I'll blog again before I leave... depends how much I avoid things tomorrow....I'm getting excited!!! Ipod charged. Magazines packed. New Moon (reading it again) packed. Clothes...mostly packed. haha!
