Homecoming!!

Well, I can't find my camera cord anywhere - so I have no pictures yet - but we had a wonderful Homecoming weekend! This was my 5 year reunion, so I got to see lots of fun people that came to town. This is one of the times that I love living in Abilene - because I don't have to go anywhere!

Friday was really busy at work with Preview Weekend - about 100 students and their families were here visiting. It was fun seeing them get excited about being on campus on such a fun weekend. Chapel was great - listening to the singing in Moody just never gets old to me. I got to see Luke, Sara and sweet Cooper in chapel too and that made it even more fun!

Friday afternoon I got to go pick up Meredith from the airport. Kaitlyn was so excited to go with me. She LOVES the airport. Yes, even Abilene Regional. It was so good to see Mere! A year is way too long to go without seeing your BFF.

We went from there to the carnival that they had on campus, which Kaitlyn loved. She got her face painted, took her picture with Willie the Wildcat (last year she was terrified of him), jumped in the Bounce houses, and even attempted the rock climbing wall. They basically had to just manually raise her up the entire thing, but she loved it. It was fun seeing more friends and all of their kids. It's crazy that last year, most of us could just stand around and talk to each other, and this year we could barely get 2 words in because we were chasing all of our kids everywere. So fun though.

Friday night, Mere and I went to Chilis and ate about all of the chips and queso they had in stock.

Saturday morning was the parade - Kaitlyn had been counting down the days for this. She loved "the guys that fell off that thing, and fell down and shot each other." Thanks Gamma Sigs. She probably ate way too much candy that was thrown her way, but she enjoyed all the attention from her cousins and other friends that were around. We stayed after the parade talking to more friends and taking pictures of all of our kids. Hopefully I will get some posted soon!! It was fun to see some Dallas friends that I had not seen in forever!!

James went to the football game - Go Wildcats! 6-0!! I stayed home and snoozed on my couch for awhile.

Saturday night was our reunion dinner. It was so much fun to mingle around, try to remember people's names, tell funny stories from when we were students.... We really do have a fun class.

Sunday was another great day at Highland..

Ok, this post is getting boring. Anyway, it was a fun weekend and just made me again so thankful that I was able to attend ACU.

SIDENOTE: I went to the doctor yesterday for my check-up and found out that I am a little farther along than I thought! My calander says I will be 29 weeks tomorrow, but he said I am 31 weeks. Nice! He also scheduled me to be induced on December 22nd. That's 9 weeks from Friday. Insane. I guess I better start getting things together! That also means it's only 9 weeks until Christmas! Yikes!

I think we have sort of the same count down thing going on. I get married on the 15th. Which means less than 2 months away. The day I get back from my honeymoon is the day you are scheduled to have your little baby!!
