homecoming: college style.

last weekend was homecoming! a little weird having it in january, as opposed to october, but i liked it. to kick off the weekend, the talent show was on friday night. i have been to my fair share of "talent" shows.....sometimes they're great, sometimes they aren't. this one however, was great. i heard it was a pretty difficult audition, and they picked the best 9 acts. about 2/3s of the acts were bands, and surprisingly none of them ended up winning. third place went to a "stage painter", second place went to a mime act, and the winner was this ukelele duo. they played two original songs and one mash-up. it was cute and funny at the same time. and they were freshman! shout out to the class of 2014. even though there were only 9 acts, with intermission and several funny videos interspersed in, it was almost 4 hours. moving on....saturday was the homecoming game (s). the guys game was at 3:30 against montana state. we left like 10 minutes before it was over, but apparently we won in overtime. ha wooo! we left to go shopping at northgate.....you can see how important athletics are to me ;) for dinner, we went to the macaroni grill! SO GOOD. i cannot express how much i love the macaroni grill. so so delicious. who doesn't love writing on the table with crayons?!! and the bread. don't even get me started. after that, we quickly got changed for the homecoming dance which was from 9-11pm. it was only $1, so if it sucked, it didn't really matter. but it didn't. it was SO fun. it was a nice change from high school; no awkward dates, slow dances, and elaborate, unnecessary dresses. semi formal, just dancing with your friends. there really aren't enough guys to go around anyhow hahahaha.....gotta love that 3-1 ratio. not. oh well. after that, we had an after dance party in the bathroom....please do enjoy the shots :)

from L to R: hannah, kim, stephanie, jubilee, me, hope, victoria, courtney, kfunk (our PA) & beth
