Homecoming Weekend Recap!

This weekend was homecoming for TU, Eric and my alma mater, and almost all the below pics are from events tied to the weekend. :)

Friday kicked off with an annual event sponsored by the Young Alumni called TU on Tap. We opted to add a spirit costume contest this year. Not a ton of people dressed up, but it was the first year for the contest, so that makes sense. However, we got lots of comments from people saying they wish they would've dressed up once they saw the prizes!

The costume contest winner left the others in the dust...

So impressed with my boyfriend's skills. No idea how Eric managed to wire a jumpsuit with remote controlled LED lights.. but it was pretty awesome!

With a 2:30 game time, our tailgate kicked off around 11:30 with friends and bbq! :) 

Some adorable future TU fans were able to join us for the tailgate :)

 Oh I just realized I didn't tell you what Eric won in the costume contest... I finally get an iPhone and he gets an iPad.. sheez. ;) (So happy for him)!

After TU's victory over SMU (WOOHOO!!!!), we headed to Jenny's new casa to celebrate her new house, get together, and see all their little guys dressed up for Halloween. Adorable! Getting them to stand still was another story... haha!

Annnnnd also exciting this weekend, I got some new glasses! Jennifer (above with her super cute little boy, both dressed in yellow), is an optometrist and was able to do some fantastic specs for me! I can see! I can see! I typically wear contacts, but my glasses were approximately three prescriptions behind (oops), so these were long overdue. I kinda love them and haven't worn contacts most of the weekend!

Headed to Eric's and watched Captain America. :) Good flick, friends. They set it up perfectly for The Avengers in 2012 (which also looks AWESOME if you haven't seen the previews yet)

So yeah.. no Halloween parties this year and I have to admit.. it felt good even if it does make us sound like party poopers... Things have just been so insanely busy lately so it was nice to not even mess with it this year. It was probably a good thing, too, b/c I spent my Sunday afternoon at urgent care with a sore throat. Blerg. I have a really busy week at work and I can't really afford to get super sick, so I went ahead and saw a doctor to avoid a yearly bout of tonsilitis I tend to get. Apparently, I have viral pharyngitis. Glad it's not strep or tonsilitis so I caught it early. Hoping it goes away quickly since drugs won't help anything viral... :(

Overall, a great weekend! Headed into a busy couple of weeks at work so I'm hoping they go quickly! :) At urgent care, I downloaded an app to organize all my Christmas shopping. Can you believe it's less than 2 months away? AGH. Have you shopped for anyone yet? I haven't. Sheez. I need to get on the ball.
