Hubby's High School reunion

Last night we went to my husbands High School reunion.
Not the official one, but the one thrown by a friend, for everyone who hung out together in High School.

It still amazes me what a very wide array of friends my husband has. Everything from the up and coming business man, to the go lucky no worries kind of guy. The people that will never have to worry about money and the people who will always have to worry about money. Yet when these guys get together, there is no social or economical class or division of. No, there are only buddies hanging out reliving old memories having a good time.

The thing is, it isn't as if life choices put them in these roles. Life choices helped, don't get me wrong, but the really rich friends had lots of money when they where in High School, and the really poor had none. But these guys didn't care. They enjoyed each others company, so they hung out and where friends.

I wish everyone was like this. Let's not look to see how much your bottom line is worth. Let's look to see if we like each other and get along. Life should always be like this.

The other thing that totally amazed me, where how many of the women there where pregnant. To be fair, I am a year and a half older then my husband, so I was the oldest one there. Some of the wives are younger than their husbands, but no one has like a super young wife. It struck me that if I where to get pregnant again, I don't know how I would handle it. Then I got to thinking about the fact that many older women have babies. In fact my mother had me at 40. The very next thought I had was that 40 is not equal to 40. This will be something that I write about in another blog post.

Again I was struck by how little it mattered where we were in our lives. The guys who have never had a serious relationship, the married couple expecting their first, the married couples expecting their 'not first' and us couples who are done having children. The differences don't matter to this group.

I guess the whole point of this blog post is, that I am greatfull to have people in my life, that just care about the fact that they enjoy each other's company, and that is it.
