O-H-N-O

This past weekend we went home for the Purdue vs. Ohio State football game. Walking in everyone (who cheers for Purdue) wasn't feeling very hopeful, but walking out was a completely different experience! Boy, what a game? We had a blast and of course our Boilers finished with a "W"!

The day started with some tailgating with my parents and the Standefords. Seeing the Standefords two weekends in a row was great, and I couldn't tell you the last time that happened.

The game was a roller coaster ride to say the least. It was so neat seeing the student section flood onto the field! Hopefully this win will lead them into Saturdays game with a little more of a spark.

Below are some pictures of the day....

Boiler Up!

Columbus Day Weekend

I didn't have school today because of Columbus Day, so it has been a wonderful long weekend!

Friday we drove home to L-town, our first stop was a dinner date with Alex's mom at Arni's!

Saturday, my mom, Brandy, and I continued the search for a wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses... mission accomplished!! It was super fun and very exciting when I committed to "the dress". Two more things that are now checked off of the list, about a million more still to do.... but, its a pretty fun process.

After dress shopping, mom and I had lunch, and then Alex and I drove down to Plainfield to see the Standefords. We had a great time in Indy with them! We went out to dinner downtown and then to a comedy club. The comedians were pretty funny, plus it was nice to do something out of the ordinary (like going to see a movie).

We'll be home again for the Purdue vs. OSU game next weekend!

Late September/ Early October Events

Last weekend Alex and I made a trip out to Tinley Park to see our final DMB show for the season, it was a great time as always. It was nice going somewhere different as well, since our regular place is Noblesville. I think his count is now up to 26 shows and I've been to 14... I don't even want to do the math on how much money we have spent over the years. Its become a tradition for us, so I think we'll keep it up for as long as they are touring.

The day after the concert we met up with my parents, Ryan, Shannon, and Hunter for the Sox vs. Tigers game up here at US Cellular. It was a super nice day, and it was great to get to see everyone, since that doesn't happen so often anymore. We were there to cheer on the Tigers (Dad and Ryan are big Tigers fans), unfortunately the Sox came out with a "W".

We are heading home Friday night for the first time since Labor Day weekend. Mom and I are going to go wedding dress shopping again (only the 2nd time), and then Alex and I are driving down to Plainfield to visit the Standeford's in their new home! We haven't seen Jake and Rox since El's wedding in August, so a trip is long over due!

We will actually be home 2 weekends in a row because we are going to join my parents at the Purdue vs. Ohio State game. Maybe they'll start to turn things around by then... (wishful thinking).

Happy October!
