this weekend i am heading home - to my alma mater. it's homecoming weekend, and as i do every year (last year, and the year before that), this year i will be celebrating with friends from school and watching a football game. this year (as with every year, as i get older), will be a bit different. this year, there are babies involved, pregnant ladies (i'm talking about YOU bri), married couples, and new friends... it's fun using homecoming as a touchpoint, to see where we all are after another year.

this year is particularly special, because it's my 5 year reunion - and i've had the cool chance to be on the 5 year reunion committee. we've planned and opinionated, and worked with some super awesome people in the alumni department. i also have the opportunity to be one of the students who will be presenting the president with our alumni gift.... in the middle of the football game. this will be super awesome, as it gives me a chance to thank the school who has contributed to who i am today (for better or for worse!).
finally, this weekend will be extra special, as my friends and i are going to use it to celebrate a life. we will be together, celebrating eachother, and the person who meant so much to us through our 4 years... and we will laugh for him - because it's what he would have wanted us to do.
i hope everyone has a spectacular weekend - maybe revisit some things from the past.... it's always important to remember where we came from!
