Maybe it was because all the planets in the world lined up this one day but nearly all the congloms were able to get together for a small reunion on Saturday. This seemed to be a feat in itself--with some of us--o.k. one of us being pregnant, and many others busy with life, work and children.
It was great seeing Belinda after 18 years. The last time I got to see her was the day we graduated from Our Lady of the Lake University. She is crazy as ever and still as beautiful. Bel, you haven't changed a bit! Michelle, looked great and tan. It almost makes me wants to go out in the sun! Almost!! I remember having a tan in 4th grade--I didn't look that great so I guess I will stay my pasty, pale self. Last time I saw Michelle was 15 years ago. And in only the most positive sense, You haven't changed much at all either. Still beautiful, petite and funny. We love our friend from Honduras!!!
Now, the three others that made it were Teresa, Lani and Lila. These great ladies traipsed through snow in February 2004 for my wedding. I always knew that it would be a cold day in hell before I got married and damn, but didn't it snow!! Looking back on how I feel about those years in East Texas--it was a snow day in hell!! That is the last time I saw you guys. Since then, Lila has become a beautiful mom and she has kept her long, gorgeous hair. That is something I vow to do. (My other promise to myself if we do have kids, is try to keep my size 7 foot. I don't care if I have to tape them.) Lani is continuing to be the best Mary Kay Consultant and Silpada Jewelry Consultant. She also has two gorgeous kids.
Last but not least is Teresa, aka Tree, aka Mother Earth, i.e. the womb most fertile. She is pregnant with her fourth child and (lets put are hands up in the air and sway from side to side) it's her first daughter!!! I predict that she will whip those big brother's of hers into shape once she is here. God help them. All the boys that is. She is going to be beautiful, funny and smart just like her mom. Since her aunty is a doctor, I will make sure the fertility doesn't kick in like her mom's just yet. Hee. Hee.
Unfortunately, there were a couple of people who were missing and funny enough they were both roommates at Pacelli Hall. I can't remember their room number. 217? (Lila and I were in 227? or 229? I will have to ask her.) Yvette is down in the valley. Sorry we missed you both. Hopefully, we will catch you at the next conglom reunion.
I am going to try really hard to figure out how to post our pictures. I am no guru at this stuff so I am just winging it.
