Monique's 20 year reunion

Monique and the Catholic High School of Pointe Coupee Class of 1988 celebrated their 20-year Class Reunion in New Roads, the same weekend visit we had Quadson's Louisiana birthday party. The original graduating class numbered around 70 and a good 50 people showed up. There was an afternoon family cookout at an area pavillion, followed by a soiree that evening for the graduates and spouses, etc.

Entry table at the "country club" for the evening event. Monique found out about and had the planning committee implement a cool name badge idea with the person's senior photo on it.




Cool cupcakes display.

Of course, with a bunch of Louisiana natives, the food was amazing.



Monique and Monique.
That is not an OKAY symbol I am making. That would be an O for Obama. Monique and her friend discovered via facebook before the reunion, that they were both Obama supporters, so this now-California sweetie would come up to us throughout the night and chant in a whisper, "Obama, Obama, Obama." We were probably amongst a great deal of folk who were not quite behind the President-Elect in conservative Southern Louisiana, a state he lost.
PARTAAAY!



Very fun group of people. They had a great reunion.
