Homecoming Week

So, two weeks ago was homecoming week, my first as a freshman at the Y. Ok, my only as a freshman at the Y, but it sounded cool in my head. On Tuesday night, a large group of us went to the Hinckley to jump on giant buses with everyone else to head up and hike the Y. Somewhere along the way we got split up though, and it just became Brad, Emily, and I. We had a blast! Of course, we were all exhausted and had glow sticks, so that helped to add to the excitement. As the weekend rolled around, it became FREEZING!!! Saturday morning, a large group from our building met up at the Creamery on 9th for the traditional blue pancakes and the amazing homecoming parade, where I am told a very excited being occupied my body as I screamed for candy and treats from all of the passer-bys and yelled randomly and very loudly at the participants. The homecoming game went pretty well, although I should have known that game was a precursor to BYU's next game and consequent loss. I was at the game with Brad and his brother-in-law Tyler, who also doesn't know to much about football, but was an absolute blast to hang out with. That night, I went to the volleyball game with Emily where we were absolutely smashed by UNLV. Again, though, exhaustion led to a blast at the game as we laughed at one of the ball boys who had a near coronary at every point we scored (especially while they were few and far between.) At the behest and threat of beheading by my sister, here are a few pictures from that awesome week.

This was our group going to the Hinck. Next to my multiple chins is Taylor and behind us is Emily and New-Mexico-Brad.

This was our group just before we began our (very steep) ascent. We all got seperated on the way, but we had a blast. No idea the Y was that steep though.

BLUE PANCAKES!!!
