I know for a lot of people high school represents a period in life that would best be forgotten.  Sadly, dork that I am, my years at Great Valley are some of my favorites so far.  This past weekend my class celebrated our 10th reunion.  After the initial first-day-of-school butterflies we had a really wonderful time.We caught up, and reminisced, and gossiped like school girls.  I patted the pregnant bellies of girls I played field hockey with.  Friends that I drank my first beer with in Denmark are now attorneys and teachers and actors on Broadway.  People that I drove around Malvern in my Ford Escort are now living in Portland and Baltimore and Manhattan.  Despite all those changes my friends are still really the same people.  It was wonderful to see them and I’m sad that our lives don’t overlap more often.   One of my favorite parts of the evening was dinner before the actual reunion.  Some of my oldest friends and I went to the Melting Pot to indulge in melted cheese and to mentally prepare ;)  Kim, Allison and Melissa - you are beautiful, intelligent, caring women.  I don’t know what we’d hoped for our 28 year old selves back in 1997 but I couldn’t be more impressed with the people that you’ve become.  Thanks for sharing the evening with me.
