100 years of coming home

my alma mater started the tradition of homecoming 100 years ago, so I decided this year i would go back for the Homecoming festivities.

My sis CJ is living and working in my college town so it doubles as a bonus for me & her. I get to come back to my college town and stay with her. She was on call Friday evening through Saturday morning, so me lil miss drove into town Friday evening and crashed out her house with my cousin who was also in town to go to the football game with us.

Saturday morning me and lil miss went into Campus and enjoyed Brewer Breakfast and watched the parade. After the parade while waiting for my sis, cousin and dad to come to campus, we took a stroll around. It is hard to believe how much a place can change in just 6 years, but some parts of campus look completely different from when i went to school.  

I had to snap a picture of lil miss in front of the columns, i don't think those will ever change, at least I hope not.

My mom watched lil miss for me while my sis CJ, my dad and cousin went to the game. We tried to meet my local county Alumni Association chapter for their tailgate, but we were unsuccessful in finding them. We will plan better for the next game so we can get in some tailgating beforehand, but we walked to the field and got to see the parade of Golden Girls, Cheerleaders, Truman, and the Marching Band.

CJ & I as we headed to get some yummy food. 

The student section at the start of the game!

I love this picture because it is at the end of the game after we won and the team went over and celebrated with the student section and was heading back into the locker rooms.

After the game we got some bbq and went back and had dinner with my parents who then headed back home and me and CJ hung out after lil miss watching chick flicks and having a good time.

I left mid-morning Sunday to head home and got home for a quick visit with the M's on their way back home. They were in town for a wedding on Saturday so we got to visit with them again.

It was a wonderful weekend!

C Country Craze

We had a beautiful day for our annual hayride and bonfire. It was a little warm in the afternoon, but by the time evening rolled around it was just perfect for gathering around the fire.

This year our pumpkin patch failed to grow due to the drought we went through in later summer, so we only got a few some pumpkins, so we had to cancel the kids hayride and pumpkin picking.

We borrowed bmy Dad's tractor this year and here it is ready for the ride with the 2 wagons.

Some of our good friends enjoying the fire.

I'm not real sure what was going on here, but i just love the picture, it makes me giggle.

The group on the 2nd hay wagon, Mr. C drove the tractor so I did not get as good of pictures of the group of the hayrides as last year.

It was a wonderful evening filled with fun and good friends.

M's monkey

My friend CM had her lil monkey on August 28th. We finally got to meet him today.

Proud momma!!

I got to hold him the majority of their visit with us.

It was a wonderful visit and first meeting with M's monkey. Just wished they didn't live so far away so we could visit with them more. They will be back in a few weeks, but then it will be a while until we see them again.

9/11 Remembered

10 years have passed since that terrible day. I still remember that I had just got done working out at the Rec Center and stepped back into Graham Hall when i heard the news of the plane's hitting the world trade center. I sat in my friend's KB & SA room as we watched the video's of the attack's. Our classes were cancelled for the day and we all sat in wonder and shock as we watched the news that day.

Remembering the tragic events of that day and the loss that so many have suffered. God bless those men and woman and their families who lost their lives that day and those who continue to protect our freedom today.

Splish splash, i'm loving my bath!

the shampoo leaked from it's holder into the bath tub, so lil miss got to have a bubble bath tonight & she loved it!

bath time is always a fun time, but tonight was extra fun with all the bubbles!
