the reunion...

It was a blast.. It was VERY well planned (thanks Rae and Val!) It was great to reminisce about the good old days with long lost friends.. I can't believe how MANY people came! I have a ton of pictures but won't be able to download them until we get settled in our new house (I lost my camera cord in the move :) Thanks for emailing me this picture, Brooke!

Aaron (or should I say "Theo") was a fabulous date and had everyone laughing all night. He was very friendly and was often mingling in a crowd of people he'd never met, and that was fine by me! I was happy to see him having a good time... and then towards the end of the night I realized the reason WHY he had been having so much fun.... he'd been telling everyone a bunch of lies!! I had SO many people come up to me and say things like, "That is so cool that your husband is a lion trainer at the MGM." Or, "I am sure your boys love having a Magician for a daddy! Does he make a good living doing that on the strip?" I thought they had me mixed up with someone else, but then they would say, "No, isn't your husband Theo?" I overheard THEO telling a few people, "Yeah, if you ever come into Vegas, look us up. I will make sure to get you sweet tickets to the dolphin show... " I just rolled my eyes and laughed. I guess his current job is not exciting enough for him ? On the way home he was saying, "I should have told everyone I was a pirate at Treasure Island-- and then just responded to all their questions with an ARRR." I am very glad THAT idea didn't come to him until after it was over! I should have realized that he wasn't going to take the reunion seriously-- but it was great to have him there, "Theo the dolphin trainer" or not.

That is totally something Jason would have done. Make stuff up like that. Although, he said he will NEVER go to a reunion with me. Sad.

Theo was really one of the funniest parts of the reunion! Too bad we couldn't spend some more time talking - it was fun chatting with both of you.

I feel bad that I missed out on meeting Theo. Sounds like you had a good time. Maybe for the next reunion I won't have a wedding.
I wish he would have thought about telling people he was a pirate. That is hilarious.

Wendy said...

LOL. AWESOME. Hey, can you guys get ME some sweet tickets to the dolphin show? Hahaha.

Stephanie said...

That's so cool, I am way impressed that he was able to do something like that to entertain himself, I don't think my husband could! So are you still moving or do you actually have a home now?
