BYU Homecoming 2009

Aaron and I decided that it would be fun to go to Homecoming this year. We have a special place in our hearts for Homecoming, because when we were dating, it was after the Homecoming dance that we had our first kiss. Ahhhh. :)  My mom and Kerry were willing to take the boys overnight, which made the evening so much more fun and stress free.

We went to eat at the Old Time Spaghetti Factory, an excellent choice. Aaron had tortellini and I had chicken penne, both of which were very tasty. It was really nice just to have dinner with the two of us, and be able to talk to each other and focus on what the other was saying without worry about which child was throwing food, or who was going to tip the water over any second.

The dance was fun. It was supposed to be 40s and 50s music, but somewhere between the description on the BYU page and the actual dance that idea got thrown out. It was definitely modern music, most of which neither of us were familiar with, but it was still good, and we still enjoyed ourselves. In fact, we kept joking that neither of us had been anywhere so loud or so sensory stimulating in a really long time. Strobe lights, a fog machine, some serious base....ya, not our typical weekend environment ;) But we really did have a great time. We were both impressed that we can still pull of a flip while swing dancing, and Aaron was impressed that I can still sing all the words to the Spice Girls song at the top of my lungs. "So tell me what ya want, what ya really really want...." haha :) Yes, I own that cd, and yes, I still like it.

We had a great night's sleep, with no interuptions from any children, ours or otherwise. Saturday morning we slept in until 8:30 (ya, I know, that's pretty pathetic) and then had a relaxing french toast and bacon breakfast. Then we did some yard work around the complex together. It was nice just spend the whole day together. Thanks mom and Kerry for watching the kiddos.
