EMU Homecoming 2007

So I made the long trip home to my undergraduate days at EMU for my 4th Annual Homecoming Blowout with my old college friends from CloseUp Theatre Troupe. We a little get together on Friday night at Sticks and Aubree's. It was just Anil, Megan, Lauren, Liz, Eric, and I. We had a great time and put on a nice display of drinking (that is my excuse for the pictures).

Saturday we had an awesome turnout. It was cold, rainy, and windier than hell, but I had the time of my life. It was also Mary Jo's birthday so we had two reasons to celebrate. EMU ended up winning the game, but I was too busy sleeping off my morning's alcohol. I am not proud of that, but how else was I going to gear up for the evening's events.

We rented out Frenchie's and just had the best time ever. We saw people who we NEVER even expected to see and hadn't seen in years and years. It was just so good to see everyone and reconnect, even if only for a weekend.

I am already putting aside money for next year's trip! I just hope Jon can go with me so he can meet all of my wonderful friends!!

Pumpkin Carving

Jon and I carved pumpkins this weekend and had a wonderful time! While I would like to take credit for our carvings, we traced them from a book. Jon carved an alien with an attitude problem (I think the alien is flipping us off, but the jury is still out). I tried to carve a cat and after some minor surgery to re-attach its tail that had been accidently amputated, it actually came out resembling Garbo or Sophie. Our hardwork could not go unnoticed so we naturally had to take some pictures to commemerate the event. I hope you enjoy!

This is my kitty cat, thankfully you can't see the pins sticking into his tail to keep it upright! Though he followed the outline, I swear the left hand is making the "Rock-N-Roll" symbol and the other hand is flipping us off....you be the judge! Jon with the Playgirl pose!
