Homecoming it is

This weekend we spent our time in the amazing weather watching lots of football. Friday night we had some friends over and walked down to the MHS Homecoming game. It is fabulous to live so close to the Marietta Stadium. Even though the high school itself has moved the Varsity games are still played at Northcut Stadium. We were joined Friday by Marietta alumni Audrey, Beau, and Cameron and their better halves along with Kristen and Larry. Larry actually went to Etowah, who we played in our Homecoming game, so he was there in support as well. I can't tell you how happy it made me to be back in that stadium and to hear the band play the fight songs. It almost made me want to jump on the field and start cheering again, almost. But then I was shocked back into reality with the masses of high school students and their craziness. I did however have a small moment with Audrey when the half time crowning of the homecoming queen took place. Being on Homecoming Court was HUGE when I was a senior and I loved it. Looking back it was a very fun experience and once I'm glad I had - now if I could just get back into that wonderful dress grandpa bought me. :) (We can all dream of being a size 2 again one day!!)

Saturday we went up for UGA's Homecoming. Jason Trock, one of Bobby's closest friends, was in town for the weekend and we were lucky enough to have him come to Athens with us for the game. Jason went to Vandy and was one of the few Vandy fans in the stands. Saturday was not only Homecoming in Athens but it was also the introduction of our newest mascot, Uga VIII. He really is an adorable pup, younger than most Ugas but maybe this will be a long lasting Uga. Some pictures from online below:

The weather really couldn't have been more perfect. My parents and Jamie came to the game with us as well. It really was a great day in Athens. 43-0 didn't hurt either. Happy Homecoming.
