Baylor Homecoming, Bella Style

Baylor Homecoming was a highlight of the Fall, as usual.  It was my quickest one yet, but I still got there.  Twenty-two years and counting!  I rode down with my parents Friday afternoon, and if you know them, you know that Miss Bella came along, too!

I hopped around from various activities on Friday night.  I've never done that, and it was quite nice.  I was feeling pretty un-focused as I'd just had a crazy week at work on top of moving, so it was nice to go wherever my little heart desired.  

I stopped in at Pigskin to see the Deltas perform,

then over to hear my old BRH choir sing for a bit at Singspiration 

and then to the bonfire!

I met up with Amanda and Megan and their hubbies, and we had a great time catching up.  The fire was HUGE and quite warm.  We stopped for Starbucks first while waiting for everything to get under way.  Of course now that we're gone, they put one in the library on campus.  Maybe I would've gone more...

Probably not.  :-)

Saturday morning, we made it for the end of the parade, just in time to see our peeps.  (The floats are really cool, but I was just focused on friends this year, especially!)

I wonder if some day we will look back at this and question why we wore such large sunglasses.  But I know it is because we are so in style.  Duh.

Papa and Jonita came down to see Anna in Pigskin.  They stopped by First Baptist's gym to say hello before heading to the 2 p.m. show.  They made it earlier since the game ended up being on TV later that night.

Nearly a complete family photo.  (Yes, T-roy still comes home for BU Homecoming.  Love it.)  Adam was working part of the weekend, and I was there for such a short time, it would've been a lot of driving for not a lot of Baylor-ing.  So next year, we have already requested time off that weekend!  Woohoo!

It was a quick weekend, but lots of fun.  I'm so thankful for yet another year of memories and time to catch up with friends!
