hokie homecoming 2006


this past weekend was homecoming here at vt. there are week-long events from pep rallys to talent shows leading up to the culminating homecoming weekend. i went to the parade with my roommate, kileigh and her boyfriend, chris, on saturday morning. it was a beautiful fall day with a crisp chill in the air and the leaves outside looked like a beautiful painting. after the parade and some quality time with emmy, i came back to do some work and bake for the tailgate. the ece girls went to abby's house before the 7:00 game to eat dinner and hang out together. (just like our wonderful potlucks!) we all then trecked to the game in the cold with our scarves and mittens. :) the hokies did a great job and pulled out the win to beat southern miss 36-6. not only was it a great homecoming game, it was also a much needed win to boost hokie morale! i'm going to miss football season-- the lights, the game, and most of all, the exciting spirit that consumes blacksburg every game weekend.
