Ten Years Ago Preview


So, I'm writing this post the day before my ten year high school reunion. 
Yikes! Has it really been ten years? The past couple of weeks I have had memory after
memory flood my head and heart as I have had conversations with friends, looked at old
pictures, skimmed through the yearbooks, and read all those "remember when" people write
 in your annual. 

High School was a great time for me. I know everyone doesn't have the same feelings. 
HS can bring back so many different memories for people, but for me looking
back to the year 2002 was a great year filled with memories that I will always treasure. 

I've had a lot of conversations lately with a guy I graduated with that I am actually going 
to the reunion with. I asked him the other day if it was weird that all of this makes me sad
in some ways. He was like, no I feel the same way... it's just a nostalgic feeling. 

I have so many random feelings going on with this weekend... excitement to see faces I haven't 
seen in ten years, nervousness in those faces that you have forgotten about and don't know 
what to say to (ha), sharing lots and lots of memories with those friends that are still a major
part of my life and always will be, and just soaking up bittersweetness of the last ten 
years and where we all have come since then. 



Prom Night! 


These girls are lifelong friends! 
So thankful for them. 
Rachel, Becca, Mallory. 


I'm trying to save all my thoughts and maybe deeper feelings for another post, but just wanted 
to give a quick update and let you guys know what's going on and how excited I am
about this weekend! Look for my outfit reveal along with lots of pictures next week! 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend... 
Think about me and pray I don't do or say anything stupid... ;) 

Here's to the Class of 2002

Reunion Dress

So, I mentioned in my last post that my ten year high school reunion is this weekend!!! 
Somedays I think yeah, it feels like it's been ten years... I think about all the things that 
have happened and changed in the past ten years and when I think back to where I was ten years ago
it seems like another life! However, some days it just seems like yesterday that I was preparing
for a new chapter in my life with excitement as well as fear. 

So, enough of being sentimental. I will save that post for another day along with some blast 
from the past pics!! Get excited people.  I am a picture freak and have plenty of good ones. 

 I have been on the hunt for the right dress for the special event. Over the weekend I made
a trip to Macy's since they were still having their Friends & Family Event.  I took a picture of 
my favorite three dresses for you to see. 

I polled over 15 people to get their opinion. Can you guess which one won?! 



Love the colors, fit, and funk of this Jessica Simpson one shoulder.


If you read my Easter post and the dress I wore you will remember that Rachel Roy
has become my new dress designer idol! I don't think there is one dress I have 
seen with her name on it that I don't like or love. 

So, this bright yellow with black zipper down the side is by Rachel Roy. 
You can't tell in this picture, but it is strapless and has pockets on the side! 
I have had my eye on this dress all season. I think it says so many things that encompass
my style. 


And the back... I'm lovin the 3 black straps! 

"Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow"
Love that rap song. :)


Another Rachel Roy. So classy!! I think this dress is so perfect for a bridal 
shower or tea. It just screams classy with a touch of edginess and sexiness. 
The fit was awesome. 

So, those are my 3 options... which dress do YOU think I chose to wear?! 
And don't you dare think about picking the wrong dress and make me doubt myself... 
you people know decisions are not my strong point. :)
