Parents Weekend




It took me a while to get these pictures from my mom and sister, but two weekends ago was parents weekend. It would be the first time that I would get to see them since August. I hated to admit it, but I did miss them (before I left for school I would constantly yell "I'm NOT gunna miss you!). Before the weekend I had been talking to Dante because I really wanted her to come up, but she kept telling me that she had a cross country meet and she wouldn't be able to go. My parents arrived on Friday afternoon and they were hanging out in my room for about 10 minutes and then there was a knock at the door. My roommate answered it and low and behold DANTE was standing there with my cousin Mel. I was so happy, more happy than I ever thought I would be to see her. All I could think of was everything that I was going to show her. I had such pride for my school that I wanted to show her everything. So, that afternoon I gave her a tour of the campus and where all of my classes were. Later on we all ventured down to Pearl St. (a large outdoor strip mall). Every night before our home games they have a parade with all of the football players and the band. I think it gave them a taste for the Buff school spirit. We went to the best sushi place in Boulder: Sushi Tora. It felt so nice to eat a good meal haha with half of my family. The next day was the football game against Kansas. It was an extremely close game with a final score of 14-13...we won. Dante and I sat in the student section while my parents and Aunt Kappa and Uncle Garry sat on the 50 yard line (23 rows up)!!! The day after the football game we all went to church, which was nice because I did not know where it was until we went. It made me feel like I was at home. It was a fun weekend and it makes me even more excited to go home at Thanksgiving!
