BYU Homecoming 2011

Yesterday, Arianna, Rylee and I woke up and walked up to the Creamery on 9th. They were serving free blue pancakes before the parade started. They were really good. We even had the option to add chocolate chips. Heck yes! We put them in between pancakes and the melted. It was a good thing they were also serving milk. We actually went through the line twice. The woman in charge of the chocolate chips recognized us, but it was ok. They had more than enough. She recognized us because she commented on Rylee's pearl necklace the first time we were in line. Being the awesome friend I am, I told her they were from Rylee's fiance. She asked when and where the wedding was. I've decided it's my job as an honorary bridesmaid to tell people Rylee's good news since she too quiet about it. Don't worry, she likes it. She told me so.

We had great seats for the parade. We sat/stood on the curb. All the little kids were so cute! It was fun watching them when the parade participants threw candy. I even got in on the action. I left all the tootsie rolls for the kids because I'm not really a fan, but  I was all over the saltwater taffy and Jolly Ranchers. I even scored a BYU bracelet (like the Livestrong ones). I was really hoping to score a t-shirt, but I'm never good at catching those and they never throw them in my direction. Arianna laughed at me because I was pretty fast at getting the candy I wanted and some of the kids seemed a little confused about what I was doing. It was like  I was stealing from them. She justified my actions for me by mentioning that I was the same height as some of them. I thought it was funny. And kinda true.

Rylee's fiance, Daniel, is the trombone player on the far right.

COSMO!!!

Christina was in the parade. We cheered really loud for her too.

We were planning on watching the football game tonight, but it wasn't being shown on any of the t.v. stations we get. Instead, we watched the end of the Ohio State game for Arianna and then Monsters Inc. on the Disney channel. It was fun. None of us had seen it in a long time so we really enjoyed it. I also made banana bread. It was a good late night snack.

Today was a good day.
