Abilene High 🦅💛 30 YEARS!! I can’t believe it!! 30 years brings a LOT of change! We’ve grown up (maybe 😜), built careers, raised families (some have grandchildren), celebrated the good seasons, walked through hard ones, and somehow 1996 still feels like yesterday!! (well, Kinda 😂) Seeing old friends, laughing about stories from way back when (the stories people remember cracked me up!! 😆), meeting new friends, and catching up on all the life that has happened since graduation was so much FUN!
Some things I’ve learned since 1996:
• Life does not always go according to the plan, & sometimes the detours end up being the best parts of the story
• Some of the hardest seasons teach you things the easy ones never could
• The people you love are more important than the things you accomplish
•Give yourself grace!! You’re going to become many different versions of yourself throughout your life.
• Say yes to the invitation. Make the trip. Show up. Life is too short not to.
• Friendships change, seasons change, people move, but the people who are meant to stay in your life have a way of finding their way back.
• Comparison really is the thief of joy. Everyone’s timeline looks different and there is no perfect timeline.
•Gratitude changes everything
But, one of the MOST sweetest parts of this weekend was getting to celebrate alongside my mom!! She celebrated her 50th high school reunion from Abilene High too!! How special is that!?!
Thank you, Lord, for every year, every lesson, every friendship, every blessing, and every chapter that brought me here!! Cheers to 30 years, Abilene High! 🦅💛
