We’re in the process of planning our 10 year High School reunion. I was on the Executive Board in High School, so I’m on the planning committee. At our first meeting we were discussing the idea of having people fill out little questionnaires about themselves now and giving superlatives for certain things: most educated, most children, came the farthest distance, etc.

First off, I can’t believe it’s already been 10 years. It seems like just yesterday we were wandering halls, avoiding papers, and going to prom.
My BFF, Amber is also on the planning committee. She said if she had to do a write-up of how the past 10 years have been, she’d be pleased and proud of where she is right now.
My reply was career/education wise, I’m nowhere near where I thought I’d be or where I should be. I do, however, have the most amazing family. I hopped around to a few colleges and made a lot of mistakes along the way, but I must’ve done something right to have what I do.

I could not have imagined my life the way it is now, but I think it’s turned out pretty awesome.
We all need a reminder sometimes that everything will work out, one way or another. Things that we had planned for ourselves might not have been in the master plan, at least not when we planned them.
What were you doing 10 years ago? When you look back at the past 10 years, are you happy with how things have changed (or stayed the same)?
Masshole Mommy says
I’m actually going to my 20th this June. It doesn’t feel like THAT much time has passed, but I also said that at my tenth and here I am 10 years later..
Tracey says
Things don’t always work out how you plan, but usually that’s the best way! It would be my ten year anniversary this year too! I didn’t even realize it until I read your blog!
MommyB says
10 years ago, wow. I was engaged and planning my wedding. I couldn’t be more happy with the things God has brought to our lives, a move to Charlotte, two beautiful girls, and opportunities beyond belief. Glad you are enjoying life too!
Christina Shirley says
crazy how much things can change!
Christy@SweetandSavoring says
Oh, man. Sometimes I wonder how my high school reunion would have been (10 years was already four years ago for me!). It wasn’t the best time in my life, but the curious/observational side of me is dying to know how some people turned out and what they look like now!
Christina Shirley says
you should go to the next one then!
QueenB says
hmm. 10 years ago i was a newlywed. and omg i feel really old. i’m 20 years out of high school
mail4rosey says
I’m very happy with my past ten years. The changes have been plentiful, some i liked, some I didn’t, but I’m very content and happy. 🙂
Sippy Cup Mom says
Wow, 10 years! 10 years ago I was working 40 hours as a manager at Target and going to school for retail management. 10 years later I’m a WAHM Mom of 3 kids – wouldn’t change it!
Melinda says
I’ve recently heard from my grade school classmates about wanting to plan a reunion. I think it’s been 26 years since 8th grade LOL
jaime says
The past 10 years have been interesting. The 10 years between graduating high school and my reunion? Those had so many ups and downs. I took my now-husband to my reunion (he was “just” a boyfriend at the time) and I’m so glad I didn’t settle between 1996 and 2006! 😉
Kecia says
I had my 10 year reunion in late 2012 – and it was crazy to see how much people that changed. Even with Facebook to keep up with most of them, there were so many new stories to tell and there were a couple I didn’t recognize.
I am not 100% on the career front over the past 10 years, as I hoped to have a Bachelor’s degree right now. But if I hadn’t gotten pregnant in college, I may not have found how much I love blogging and social media!
Karen says
10 years ago I was married for a little over 2 months, and Valentine’s Day I found out I was pregnant with our daughter. It was an amazing time. Take it all in because it just flies by faster as you get older. Have fun at the reunion!
Paige Nicole says
I’ve been graduated for 5 years and it’s so weird to think high school was so long ago. I can’t wait for my 10 year reunion!
Jinxy and Me says
10 years ago I was just finished celebrating my 1-year wedding anniversary. It’s amazing how time keeps going faster and faster as we age!
Joanna Sormunen says
A HS reunion is a great reminder of your dreams and aspirations. Ten years ago I was bregnant with my son and a year later I graduated from the University. I was not happy with my BS degree but I love my Masters degree. And even more I love my son and my job. I also got the job I dreamed about ten years ago 🙂
Cara says
High school was 20 years ago for me! 10 years ago I had a just turned 2 yr old and was a SAHM. Wow have things changed in the last 10 years!
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
I’m sad that I’m where I am now, but on the other hand I’m happy that I’m here. That probably doesn’t make sense to you but to me it does. lol
Melanie @ Mailbox Journey says
It’s so crazy to think about high school! I’m happy with where I am – and I’ve been out for 7 years!
The Rebel Chick says
I don’t think I ever even received an invitation to go to my 10 year reunion! I guess I’ll be living vicariously through my husband’s 20 year reunion next year!
A Mom's Take says
10 years does go by so fast! 10 years ago I was just meeting my now husband 🙂
Amanda Love says
I never went back to my 10 year reunion. Don’t really miss anything but I have to say that my life didn’t quite turn out the way I had planned it in High School but I wouldn’t change it for anything now.
Cassie Tucker says
My high school just had my 10 year high school reunion. I wasn’t able to go back due to being so far away but I heard it was a GREAT time 🙂
Chrishelle Ebner says
10 years ago I had just graduated from nursing school. That is a great accomplishment, but I thought I would have been further in my continuing education, but somehow life has got in the way. But that’s okay it’s a good life.
Katherine Bartlett says
10 years ago I was 15 and wishing I could be out of school
Ashley M says
We just had our 5 year reunion and it felt like not a lot had changed. Most people were still in college or finishing it up. I’m anxious to see the change by 10 years
Lolo says
I am very happy about my last 10 years! I have a great husband, good job, and two amazing kids!
Angela says
My last high school reunion was more than 20 years ago, but the last 10 years for me have been full of big changes. It’s been quite a journey but I am very happy with my life.
