Going to My High School Alumni Reunion

So I'm going to my high school alumni reunion this weekend...  It's in Springfield, IL, and I'll be heading out this afternoon.  I'll be going through Iowa and staying the night with a friend of mine that I recently reconnected with on Facebook -- it'll be cool to see him again, catch up, and get to know his family.  Then on to Springfield, IL, the "Land of Lincoln"...Abraham Lincoln...the 16th President of the United States...the guy on the penny for all you Miss Teen USA contestants.  (Did you see that video?  A friend showed it to me, and it's painfully funny.  Poor girl...and kind of a tough question.)  Anyway, I'm really looking forward to seeing lots of old friends from high school and people from the church I attended there, including Mark Johnson, who's a good friend, mentor, and pastor there.  This will be the first alumni reunion I've ever gone to, and I'm really looking forward to it.
