It has officially been over week since Em and I were last
together. I have now given myself the appropriate amount of grieving time and
am able to write out our recap.
I had written out a 3-page long detailed Homecoming recap,
but then realized – no one wants to read that, not even me – and I wrote it.
So here’s a summary:
Thursday...
 |
| Starbucks in the sky, Pigskin, Mega HEB |
Flew to Texas. Starbucks with an extra shot of espresso.
Plane door wouldn’t close in Dallas…delay. Made it to Waco. Hung out with Coach
Husband. Went to school to help Emmy clean. Quick wardrobe change. Dinner with
Amanda and Melissa. PIGSKIN!!! (click here if you aren't familiar with the amazing tradition that is Pigskin and All-University SING). H-E-B Plus stop for ice cream
sundae supplies. Late night ice cream and girl gossip with Amanda. Sleep.
Friday...

| Bonfire, Georges, Bush's (also I really hate the top pic, but it's the only group one from bonfire) |
Common Grounds with my favorite prof! Said “hi” to the
Bears. Went to the Bookstore. Bush’s Chicken for lunch. (yummmm). Shopping. Shopping. Shopping. Sonic
Happy Hour!! Shopping. Shopping Shopping. Went home and took a 10 min rest
break. Quick wardrobe change. Went to George’s (“I’d like to thank ol’ George’s Bar for the classes that I missed”). MEAGAN

for trouble, psych we drove around being dorks. Sleep.
Saturday...

| Lunch, game, parade |
Woke up super early. Coach Husband dropped us off at campus
for parade. So cold. Searched for donuts. Went to School of Ed. Em & Megan
talked to a professor, I went looking for more friends. Found Dyann. Dyann and
I found Amanda and family. PARADE!!! Looked at floats. Cheered for Holly
Tucker. Criticized floats. Looked at floats up close. Went to AXO brunch.
Talked to a bunch of people. Gave seal of approval for new couches. Reminisced on winning, errr getting 3rd place, at StompFest. Sat on a street
corner waiting for a ride. Went to Poppa Rollo’s pizza (mafia style pizza
parlor) with Amanda’s family. Yuuuummm. Went home to rest. Quick wardrobe
change. Tailgate at “The Beast”. Baylor demolished Iowa State. Saw more
friends. Emily terrified a child. Post-game tailgate at “The Beast”. Sleep.
Sunday...
Sunday was too sad of day for happy, pretty pictures :(
Slept in. Lunch at Chiptole. Meagan and Purdey leave L. Target run with Em.
Sonic Happy Hour. Rested and watched A Walk to Remember. They dropped me off at
the airport. Said goodbye to Em. Silent cry on the plane.L Airport McDonalds for
supper. Dad and Jasper pick me up at the airport with a Large Sweet Tea! Sleep.

| Adios, Tejas |
 |
| Tailgate with my loves |
My ultimate goal for the weekend was: Cowboy Coffee from
Common Grounds, meal at Bush’s Chicken, Georges, buy Baylor apparel for my
niece and I, partake in all Homecoming festivities (well all the main ones),
soak in the splendor of Waco, Baylor and Floyd Casey and see lots of friends. I
successfully accomplished every single thing on that list!
 |
| AXO sisters |
Baylor was as lovely as it was my entire 4 years there, and
seeing old friends reminded me how incredibly blessed I am to have such a
strong support system… even if they are 639 miles away.
That good old Baylor line! That good old Baylor line!
We'll march forever down the years, as long as stars shall shine.
We'll fling our green and gold afar, to light the ways of time
And guide us as we onward go; That good old Bayor line!
