BYU Homecoming 2013.

A couple months ago, Ben and Jessica told me they were planning to go up to Provo for homecoming in October with the boys. I really wanted to go, and one day happened to find a round-trip flight from DC for $340 (!!!!!!). So I took advantage of that deal and bought a ticket.

I had not been to Utah at all since I graduated from BYU in April 2011, and I was actually really excited for my visit. I had a lot of moments while I was in Provo where I hated Utah and I was so ready to leave...but since I was away from it for a while, I grew a little nostalgic for the good times and was looking forward to a little weekend visit with my family. Enough time to have a tender moment and then peace out.

My most favorite roommate ever, Heather, picked me up from the airport Thursday night and we chatted for hours. LOVE HER. We hung out the next day and watched "Friends" on her couch before I met up with Ben and his family at the bookstore and for dinner. My aunt also met up with us, who flew out from California.

Saturday morning we headed to 7th North for the homecoming parade. The boys enjoyed their blue pancakes and an encounter with Cosmo.

We had lunch at Tucanos and went over to the stadium for the Cougar Walk. (love sitting in the backseat with these cuties)

Then it was time for the game against Georgia Tech at our beautiful Lavell Edwards Stadium. Jess and I bought some retro royal blue Adidas track pants and wore the same t-shirt. Sista twins!

The boys loved their Cougar claws and Cougar tails.

Rise and Shout!

We could all go home happy now.

Little Gavyn didn't come to the game but he got to go to the duck pond and enjoyed himself. (seriously, how cute is he?)

I had a really nice trip to Utah seeing friends and family. I will always love my dear alma mater and am proud to call myself an alumni.
