As I said on Facebook, I've been to most of the reunions and I usually reach a point where I have to talk myself into going. Yes, I want to go, but I was a loner for much of high school. I wasn't in the "in" crowd and was in the background a lot. But I'm not the insecure person I was in high school today. It's great to see how we've grown into interesting, compassionate people and to interact with friends I've known for over 40 years. I'm thankful for our wonderful committee that keeps planning these great reunions. 

I am married to my high school sweetheart, John Smith, and we have 3 kids - Ben (42), Jenny (39), and Jonathan (35). We will celebrate our 45th anniversary in September, Lord willing. We both have some health issues, but we are very blessed. I work full time at Vidant Medical Center (now ECU Health) as a Program Assistant in Outpatient Rehab, the best job I've ever had at the hospital.  I've been employed by the hospital for 25 years now, which kind of blows my mind! I'm very involved in my church, Lion of Judah Community Church, singing, teaching, and leading our prayer team. I also sing locally in a trio ("Mended Vessels") with some friends, and we are hoping to book more events this year. 

We don't have any grandchildren yet, but I'm looking forward to that someday. I've published several devotional articles in a church publication, and I'm currently working on a devotional book that I hope to self-publish. 

I'm looking forward to connecting with old friends and seeing what everyone is up to!
