HAPPY HOMECOMING!
Guess what? I wasn't sitting in a room pomping until my hands were red from dyed paper and I actually kinda missed it :( But, I did however have Friday off from class AND clinical and I spent it just the way I wanted to! Dave and I made our weekly Friday trip to Chic-Fil-A (this time for breakfast instead of lunch) and thought we might as well ride down Sorority Row to see if they had unveiled the Lawn Decorations yet. Per usual, we were too early! While driving we did have an epiphany though: people were ALREADY setting tents up and we did NOT want to miss out on getting our spot - AGAIN! So we headed to Luke's to pick up all of our gadgets and gizmo's and head home to pack up the wagon! On the way over Dave insisted on taking our overly packed wagon through the mud and over curbs... All of which turned out to be not such a good idea. He ended up having an accident in the road right before we got to that big parking lot on campus. Thankfully this guy saw it happen, came running down the sidewalk and helped Dave get everything out of the road! Oh, if only I had had my camera at that point!
Mom and Dad got into town soon after the bonfire was over (we didn't get pictures this year) and Daddy decided he wanted a tour of college life on a Friday during football season! Dave and I happily escorted them up the street for a little taste of the Houndstooth! Once inside Daddy had to have a picture and was soon ready for the next stop... The Piano Bar!
Dave and I told Mom and Dad that if they were to experience college life on a weekend, then the only way to be transported downtown was NOT by their lovely personal vehicle, but by calling the LIMO TAXI. On this particular night, however, we had to settle for a Crown Vic. Please do not let this keep you from thinking they missed out on the experience. THEY DID NOT! We met a nice lady named Beverly who picked us up from Houndstooth AND brought us back home... It was her first night.

Oh, if only I had had my camera at that point!We got everything set up, in the appropriate and predetermined space, and quickly decided we needed CHRISTMAS LIGHTS! On our way back, I asked very nicely if Dave would pull me back on the wagon :) What a way to get around! I'm definitely going to keep that mode of transportation in mind when and if I ever need it! Put a little back on that thing and you're good to go :)

While at the Houndstooth, we managed to be blessed with quite an interesting picture of a lady in HOT PINK spandex pants. I'll leave a little to the imagination now, but please believe me when I say, there wasn't much left to the imagination that night! Her friend definitely should've told her that was NOT ok to wear out in public. Lesson of the night: She needed better friends!

We met a nice lady named Beverly who picked us up from Houndstooth AND brought us back home... It was her first night. We quickly realized, once downtown, that Friday night at The Piano Bar definitely equalled standing! This, however, also did not ruin the experience Mom and Dad were about to have, either! We again found an interesting lady, obviously so intoxicated she was determined to dance with anyone, which is not soo bad. The bad thing: Her hair was about the color of a traffic cone and she donned denim from head to toe. Boy oh boy could she move... If you call swaying her hips and two stepping the dance of the new millennium!
If you look right beyond my right arm, you can sort of see her sitting in a chair down below us on the main floor! BLESS HER HEART! (**That was for you, Jana**)
Saturday Morning was VERY busy! We took some pictures before leaving for the Quad just in case the day was going to be as busy as I thought it might end up being. 
We made it out to the tent all bundled up and ready for the day. I had to quickly undress for mine and Dave's weekly picture and then bundle up again! I'm happy to know that even if he doesn't like taking pictures at that exact point in time, he appreciates them later :) 
They moved the parade back until eleven o'clock due to the game being so late. This, was both good and bad. Good because Sandye and Mike got to make it. Bad because there were so many more people there.
Game time quickly approached as well as the cold weather! Triple "shirt-ed", triple "tight-ed", two jackets and some gloves, I was all ready to go. Mom had insisted I take a blanket and boy oh boy was I glad I did! Dave had also dress accordingly but I don't think either of us were prepared for the winter feeling we felt by the end of the game. Mr. Gladden was gracious enough to let us sit with him for the evening and how excited I was! The view of the game was wonderful. The people were just as nice as they could be and he even had an extra blanket for me by the start of the second half!
Another "W" in the books and another fun filled weekend with the ones we LOVE! Although I'm not too excited about frigid cold weather, I'm pretty pumped about what it bring with it! Special time with family, college football and wonderful holidays!

Neither of us could have asked for a better weekend :)
