39 and 20 years

Today, Ray turned 39...hard to believe that just next year he and I will both be 40. (No old jokes, please!) But really, 40??? I remember thinking how old 40 was when I was a kid, when I was 20, when I was 30. Now, it's almost a reality. I shudder...but we spent today eating at Golden Corral (Hannah's choice; why he let her choose, I'll never know) and we will be buying him some new running shoes as his gift.

As most of you know, Saturday was my 20 year reunion. It was nice. Even though none of them will be life-long friends, it was good to go back and see what some of my classmates look like. But most importantly, I wanted to see Jason. We were such close friends in high school that I really wanted to spend some time catching up. I decided not to take my camera in; I was afraid it might get stolen. Luckily for me, people took pictures and posted them on Facebook:

He still looks so much like he did back then...just older.

The other guy in this picture (besides Ray who was talking when the picture was being taken) is Jimmy Parker. He was and still is quite an interesting character.

Here's to getting older and having old friends!
