OU Homecoming Parade!

I LOVE Saturdays! Especially this one. Trav and I got to sleep in, and when we woke up we found out that the St. Louis Cards came back and won the game last night, AND I got to go to the OU Homecoming parade. I haven't been to a parade in years, so I was pretty excited…for the candy =). Ha ha, but seriously, it was really fun. It just kept getting better and better as the parade went on: 1) an old lady standing right next to me got nailed in the head with a sucker, 2) a child across the street was flipping out and screaming at the parade-walkers to give him candy or he was going to kill them in their sleep, and 3) the OU alumni band dropped it like it was hot. To understand that last statement, the OU band is notorious for being really risque. Just look it up on youtube and you'll know what I mean. They have like a bajillion hits for it. But apparently, the OU alumni haven't lost their touch because they got pretty into it. I was actually impressed, and thought they were better than the current band. Anyway, here are some shots from the experience.

Couldn't be happier, hot chocolate in one hand, my phone in the other =)

The Alumni Band. I didn't get a good shot of them gettin' jiggy wit it though. 

This car had tons of like naked barbies on it and just other weird stuff. Only in Athens…

Oh, and that tourette boy, he yelled "YOU EMBARASS ME!" to the driver. Ha ha, everyone had a kick out of that.

This was SO cute. This little girl kept thinking that my friend Marianne was her mom. Her real mom kept jerking her back (as you can see). 

FYI: OU is now 7-0 in football! GO BOBCATS!!

Fall All Around

Fall is finally here! This is by far my favorite season: beautiful trees, falling leaves, cooler weather, apple cider, pumpkins, and basketball season is just around the corner!

This weekend we went to another OU home football game, which they won, and are now 6-0! Woop Woop! It's pretty fun going to games with tons of fans and watching a team that is actually decent. We come from Willard High School, whose had a losing record for the past, well, forever! Ha ha. I feel like I am starting to become a true Bobcat fan, which gets me super pumped for basketball season to start. November 3rd is their first game, only a couple of weeks away! If you haven't already checked it out, here's the Ohio Bobcat basketball schedule for 2012-2013.

Also, there's an article that talks about the possible games that will be on TV this season. It doesn't give set games or dates, which is dumb =)

Ok, so back to the fall business. On our way to today's morning conference session, Trav and I went and drove around out in the country to see the beautiful scenery. That is one of our favorite things to do, especially on Sundays. The Athens area is a very pretty part of the country, and since it's fall, it keeps getting prettier and prettier. 

Cute right? Gotta love a man willing to take pictures with you =)

Ok, so I completely BLEW week one of eating healthy and going hard with my workouts. I started out strong ok, and then I don't know what happened. And along the way I came across this on pinterest and knew I had to post this on here because it is the story of my life right now!
