Exhibit B. I went up to CMU this weekend for homecoming. When I was in college, we wouldn't even go out until at least 10:00. Saturday night - we were home at 9:52pm. I'm embarrassed. Granted, we were up since 3:30 in the morning (4:00 am departure! - who am I?), so we were really tired. But I'm still embarrassed.
Speaking of homecoming, it was really fun. My friend Missy came up with me. I tell ya, that girl is hooked on Mt. Pleasant. She's been up there with me 3 times now. We left early Saturday morning, tailgated, went to the football game, hung out at my old teammate's apartment, went out, went to bed, woke up, and drove home. I really wish I could do longer visits up there.
The game was great. We beat Northern Illinois 35-10. The team looked really good. The only downer of the trip was watching a guy have a heart attack in the stands right by us. It was really scary. They did CPR on him for probably a good 25 minutes. He didn't make it. So it was really sad, awkward, scary... all of those things. I felt so bad for his family.
The highlight of my trip had to be hanging out with my old coach and his family. We went out to dinner and grabbed a drink on Saturday night. I was really close with all of them in college. We used to have the boys stay at our house every once in a while so L-Train and his wife could have a night alone. They were 4 and 6 my freshman year. 9 and 11 when I graduated. Now they're 12 and 14 and huge! The 14-year old is 6'2" now. It's crazy. My boys are growing up so fast. So it was definitely a trip to hang out with them.
It was really great to be up there and run into old friends and teammates. I really do miss my CMU friends.
As always, I'm awful about remembering to take pictures. So here's a couple that my friend Mary took...
Tailgating
The game
Mary, Mike and Me at the Cabin. I miss my throwers.
The guy at the Cabin who had eyes on his butt. For real???
