This week is also special: Taylor had her 20 year high school reunion, from Northwest High School here in Guilford County.

It was a fun night- way more fun for her to catch up with some old friends. Around 60 people showed up, at a local bar called Oden. It was really laid back.

There were a few fun conversations. Many of the people I got a chance to connect with are still living in the same general area as their parents did, and raising families in the same way.

One of the biggest changes since our class graduated (Taylor and I graduated the same year), was that a new high school opened two years after us, and really changed the districting maps for the county. Northern High School is the newest and best in the county.

Since the kids were out for the night at Taylor’s moms house, we even went to the after party downtown. Be proud of us- we stayed out past 11pm!

Anniversary

Uncle Steve and Aunt Chris celebrated their 40th year wedding anniversary this weekend. Though my cousin Brenna reached out about the event in Greenville, I wasn’t unable to attend.

HUGE congrats to them. As an adult, this pair has just become more and more fun. Aunt Chris, you always make me laugh. Uncle Steve, as a kid I thought you were intimidating. As an adult, I think you are an amazing person. Your wit from years as an English Teacher serves you well. Love you guys, and wish that the years didn’t see us apart as much as they do now. Though there aren’t a ton of pics I can readily find, this is a solid one from around 1991:

The Children’s Museum

Rosie, Hunter, Mercy and I took the 26 minute drive to the High Point Children’s museum this past rainy Saturday. But I am a nerd, and what was really cool was learning afterwards that there is a feature on iPhones to automatically create a mashup video of a bunch of images/video clips, and I was real excited about how it turned out:

Many of you might already be familiar with how to do that. If not, here is a quick clip explaining it:
