Homecoming 2012

For the past three years Homecoming has been a big deal. Like, big. Being in band and all I got to participate in pretty much every aspect of homecoming. In fact, we call it "hell week" because that pretty much sums it up. It's exhausting but also the greatest thing ever. So anyway, now that I'm graduated I still get to participate... just differently. :)

Elise and I went to the game on Friday night at which it POURED rain the entire time. ENTIRE TIME. It was really fun though! We just kind of laughed about the situation and got hot chocolate after. It was weird to stand in the student section. That's something I never got to do because I was always with the band. The cheers were fun and I screamed so much! Since Copper Hills is Copper Hills, they lost. But whatevs. It's nothing new. :P

My best friend is cute :)

And on Saturday I got to go to the dance! About three weeks before my good friend Jordan asked me by completely covering the floor of my bedroom with shredded paper. I got home from work one night and opened my door to this:

And I was like :O

My bedroom is pretty big and my entire floor looked like this.

It was nuts!

The silly note he left me...

No idea why he called me sweet lips but it made me laugh so...

:)

 Finally found all the wrappers!

Since I was tweeting so much about the mess Geoff and Jordan very nicely agreed to come help me clean up.

What sweeties ;)

*NOTE: It was about 11:30 pm and I couldn't tell you why Jordan had that hat on. Again, it made me laugh. He's just awesome in his own little way.

I'm still finding paper in random places...

Like the cuff of my pants. 

Awesome.

I answered him with some delicious cupcakes and we both got all excited and stuff. 

So the day of the dance he picked me up and we went to Geoff's house to play scud and have a little meet and greet. I felt so weird being the only one not in high school but whatever. I'm really good friends with all the boys that were in the group so it was just like old times!

We went to The Dome in Draper to be amazed and eat frozen uncrustables. They were quite yummy :) When that was over we went back to Geoff's house and they blindfolded us and drove us away to some unknown place. Jordan walked me over to a tree, handed me a bag, said "okay take off your blindfold.... GO!" and then we all had an epic flour fight. It was SO MUCH FUN. I've never done anything like that before and I ended up laughing for most of it. :)

After the fight! 

It was totally nuts.

Also, Carter and Kaity were just...not there?

Then I came home to de-flour myself and get ready. I didn't really look super awesome and I feel bad. I just wasn't feelin' my dress that day. Meh. haha oh well good thing it doesn't matter AT ALL!

We took pictures at both our houses and then went back to Geoff's for dinner. We ate soup in a bread bowl and I was perfectly happy and content. That is one of my favorite foods and I was stoked. Plus the boys were real cute serving us and stuff. :)

Our cute group :)

The dance was awesomepiece and Jordan and I sang our hearts out during the slow songs. I just can't take slow dancing seriously anymore. It's so much more fun to scream the words of the cheesy love songs ;) I will never be able to listen to Don't Wanna Miss a Thing without laughing ever again. That was my absolute favorite part of the dance. My date totally rocked :)

After that we went to Geoff's again to eat cupcakes and watch a movie. Jordan and I secretly made fun of Geoff for trying to put the moves on Natalie with the movie Hitch. Mostly because that's what he used on me... so we were like "HEY MAN GET SOME NEW TRICKS." I'm glad Jordan was there to help me through that moment. I could have ended up super jealous and angry but instead I was able to brush it off like eh, she's not that special ;) haha again, my date totally rocked. And I'm glad he understood how I was feeling and helped me feel better. Yay for friends!

When I got home I realized that I left my flower in Geoff's fridge and I was super upset. I have all six of my corsages in my bedroom and I didn't want to lose my favorite one! I asked Jordan if he would get it for me later and he said sure. I got all nervous and mad at myself for forgetting it. I thought I was never gonna see it again. But, the next day I was sitting on my couch and he texted me "mailbox ;)" and I RAN out there to find this:

I thought it was cool that he used one of our greatest inside jokes to return my flower to me.

I love people who appreciate sentiment!

Plus, this is seriously my favorite corsage.

It was so freakin' pretty! 

Now, this may seem kind of weird so I feel you should know the background story. But, even with knowing the background story it will probably still seem weird. Whatever.

So, Jordan and Carter started the tradition of putting random things in my mailbox my junior year. Sometimes they were awesome, sometimes they weren't. My favorite time was on Christmas morning at 6:30 am Jordan texted me and told me to go check my mailbox. When I opened it there was a cute little baby doll inside and I was so happy! Back in the day I was known as the "band mom" because I was always cleaning and making sure everyone was okay. So in honor of my obsessive compulsive mothering of my friends Jordan decided that I needed a baby. I named her Megan and I still have her sitting on my bed to this day. I love that freakin' baby! I had no idea Jordan was even getting me anything and I certainly didn't think it would be something that meant a lot more than most people thought. I love my friends. Especially Jordan! I am so glad he asked me to homecoming! I had a BLAST! :)
