Homecoming Happenings

In case I didn't bombard blog world with enough photos the other day, heeeeeere's homecoming....

Friday was TU on Tap, the event sponsored by the young alum but is for all alum (and their spouses, dates, etc). :) We had it at McNellies, a local restaurant/bar downtown...

Here's Katy and me... co chairs if you will! She works for TU so was in charge of all the finance, etc for the event. :) I was trying to model the hurricane stamp we were planning to use for people's hands when they walked in... It was really just a swirly we thought looked like a hurricane...haha..

Kari, me, Sarah, Emily :)
The event was a success! It was the first year to hold it at McNellies and I'm glad we switched.. It's a great venue and lots more people came! :) Plus, spinach artichoke dip.. Need I say more? Exactly. ;)

It was an early game, so Gracie and I were at the tailgate by like 10:45-11 and Eric's parents had been setting it up/prepping for it that morning since early early with tons of yumtastic food, etc. Gracie rocked her costume! haha! Cracked me up b/c adults often guessed wrong-"wonder woman?!" Wrongo. But every single child exclaimed "SNOW WHITE!!!" It was adorable.
Since the game was on Halloween, the committee decided to set up a trick or treating event and let the tailgaters participate! This little girl is probably the cutest child...um...ever. haha.. She was a little TU cheerleader! Dble click it to see better. Here's Eric's dad getting ready to give them some candy! :)
On the way to take Gracie back before the game, I stopped by our regular Chi O tailgate. A couple of them had done the Tulsa Run that morning so things were a little slow to start at the regular tailgate and thanks to some adorablesauce babies needing some naptime...and an early game, they closed shop early. But, glad I got to snap this b/c how freaking adorable is little Maddox in his duck costume?! Here's hoping for some quality time with some of these ladies soon... :)
Maureen and Miles stopped by our tailgate! This photo turned out cute, but we'd accidentally taken two videos before it... My camera was on the wrong setting so they're like 10 second videos of us smiling awkwardly while ppl move in the bkgnd.. I love it when that happens.. hahahaha...
Sarah and adorable little Landen-kinda love this photo. Yup. :)
Lauren, Sarah, Me, Audra, Cynthia :)

The band dressed in Halloween costumes.. My personal fav was a girl drummer who was an energizer bunny! Um...except the rest of the drummers looked scary... *nervous*
Okay, so I may have had a moment of weakness in the bookstore...I was in close proximity to the Chi O house and I think the owl sucked me in. He was wearing a TU shirt, people! Sheesh. (Chi O's symbol is the owl..and I may have had like 200 a few of them by senior year in college from gifts, garage sales with retro 70s owl stuff, etc. I gave away almost all of them to younger girls when I graduated).

Anyway, this little spirited hootie will go great on my desk or something back at the regular office, I think! Gracie thought it was hers...which if Hootie is not put up high enough, his wings will be clipped by a certain pup... haha...
What a great, but kinda tiring weekend! Oh and TU didn't do that winning thing football teams sometimes do.. No. We didn't. *shrugs* This season is kinda a bust I'm beginning to think... :( Eh well.. we had fun anyway... :)

(and thanks for your positive comments on my earlier post! Everything went well today.. although I'll think twice before setting up another appt like that midday. Going back to work=major boo. haha).
