10 years

I am sitting in San Diego, but wishing I were in Portland right now. I went back and forth about attending my reunion, and seeing as I had 2 games to coach this weekend (tomorrow in Temecula) I just couldn't figure out how to deal with the conflicts and justify spending the money to fly up there.

I am more curious that I thought I would be about people. I just think about how much I have changed in 10 years, and it is crazy! While I am still very much the same person, all of life's experiences mold and shape us little by little. I like who I am now. I like my life! I don't like how fast those 10 years went by though. It is weird because HS seems like forever and a day ago, yet still unbelievable it has been 10 whole years. I still wonder about people. I wonder about people who were a HUGE part of my life for many, many years and I am sure they are very different also. Would we pick right back up again where we left off? Would it be small talk and awkward? Maybe a bit of both, depending on how each person has changed.

In addition to wishing I were going to my reunion that starts in 2 hours in downtown Portland, I just wish I were with my family for a while. I miss my nephews and the rest of my family like crazy! My dad told me yesterday that the air is cool and crisp and they are starting to have fires in the fireplace!! That's the best. I'm listening to the hum of our air-conditioner (which I am very grateful for these days). Don't get me wrong, I really like living in San Diego also. I just get a big itch to get up to the Great Northwest every fall. Maybe Matt and I will head to Julian soon. I love it up there!
