I realized that this would probably be the last year of my made up homecoming tradition. No one really lives in provo anymore, everyone has graduated and moved away and that makes the whole point of going to utah completely pointless.
For the football game, I alwasy seem to figure out a way to get a ticket. One year I bought them from someone on criagslist, another year Jess had an extra ticket and this year Madi gave me her ticket. Of course it being my last year I wanted everyone to be there! Most of the time, its not really hard to find tickets cause, of the weather or the fact that we are not really playing anyone that competeitive. But this year of course they had to do something dramatic. This was the game they played in all black uniforms! Everyone wanted to go to the game, which made finding tickets that much harder. I just figured we would buy tickets outside from scalpers. So before we start out on our walk to the stadium, I thought I would check with the girls locker room to see about getting change for a 20. They didnt have cash and directed me to another place in the RB, but before I left I said, you dont have an extra ticket to the game do ya? Sure enough, she says, actually I do, I can email it to you right now!!! I couldnt believe it!! She was so awesome, to just give us her ticket cause she was at work! Now we only needed one more ticket. There was a guy quite a ways from the stadium who was selling his for 15 a piece. I thought, if we have to, we could go back to him. As we got closer there were more people selling. One guy had 3 tickets, so I asked how much, he said 15...but really i wanted one for 10. So there is this old grandma holding one ticket up. I ask her how much, she says 15 and then I say, would you do 10 for my pregnant friend and pulled Ashley closer to me! The old lady didnt want to do it, but said, oh ok, and then grabbed me by the arm and said, What are you doing taking your pregnant friend to a football game! Oh man, it totally made the day. All three of us got in for a total of 10 bucks! It was great, cause we even had really awesome seats. Hailey, Brian, and Kenny met up with us after halftime. BYU was doing great, the team we were playing was ranked in the top ten. We kept up with them and in the 3rd quarter we were even ahead. Sure enough our QB goes and throws a few interceptions and we got hammered. It was so disappointing, but it was a better game then any of us thought it would be. After the game we went to a Korean place for dinner. Jess loved it cause they served warm water, just like in her mission. It didnt have anything on panda express though. We decided to go to a movie at the dollar theather and went to see Brave. Def not the kind of movie that I thought it would be and literally was the first time in my life that I kinda fell asleep while watching a show in a theater. Which was really ridiculous considering that it wasnt even late!
Sunday was eventful and was just like last year. Someone clogged the toliet and it made for a great story. Ashley's ward was really nice and I got to tell my memorized stories which I always like to do, despite not doing a stellar job this time. After church, Hailey, Brian and Kenny came over for dinner. It was awesome to get and sit around and talk with everyone. Those are usually my favorite moments when I am with friends. Jess came by and I talked her into doing a Keep See commercial with me before she left for P-town. It was a fun night and so hard to go to bed, but Ash and I knew waking up would be killer if we didnt. It still ended up being hard to wake up at 4am to get me to the airport even after trying to go to bed early, but it was worth it for sure.
She hates when I leave!
