Homecoming 2004

Wow, the homecoming game and dance was so awesome!!!!

The Titans won 54-14 against the Huron River Rats. Go Titans!!!! It was a really wet and cold miserable night, but I don' t think very many people cared. Emmy, Derek, Geoff, Jocie, Noelle, Emma, and Greg were all there. It certainly was an interesting evening. There was a little controversy over Chad, but that's solved now. It was pretty fun teasing Derek. He's good for that :-) j/k. Oh, the choir performance during the pep rally was awesome. But I think the rest of the pep rally sucked. But they always do, don't they?

The preparation for the Homecoming dance was long and extensive. At 1 yesterday afternoon, I met Emmy at the hair salon to get our hair put up. I swear, they used at tleast half a bottle of hairspray and 5o bobby pins just to get my hair to stay! But the results were great. Emily and I looked great (in my humble opinion of course...). After that, we headed to McDonalds and pigged out. What can I say? I was hungry! Anyway, I headed to Emily's house, then we started getting preparations under way. Jocie, Stephanie, Noelle all showed up, so we had fun getting their hair done and makeup done. Then the guys came. Greg brought me a really pretty rose cosage (roses are my favorits flowers), and Gregs mom knit me the most awesome shawl! *happiness* Chad was late (of course), but he brought a pretty cosage for Emmy. Derek came, and that made things pretty interesting. after all the guys showed up, we took pictures...lots and LOTS of pictures...

The actual dance was a wonderful experience. I danced with Greg alot, and Emily dance to every song with Chad. and they are officially going out now. FINALLY!!! Anyways, the music was loud (almost too long), the selection wasn't half bad, and of course, the decorations were cheesy. It was really funny watching Emily and Chad make Laura jealous. Don't ask how. It was great spending time with The Group, but I loved being with Greg. Oh. Greg and I made a bet: he said I wouldn't last 30 minutes wearing my high heels. I won..I wore them for 35 minutes. Ha! I swear it was some vindictive man that invented high heels!! He must have been irritated at the female species or something. Anyway. Unlike last homecoming, I had absolutely no problem dancing with Greg..hehe. alot has changed in the past year, huh? Noelle liked the songs, and a "rap" dosie-do. Jocie had a lot of fun and enjoyed being with the group. Katie like most seeing Geoff dance. Emily like most dancing with Chad. Personally, I liked being with Greg, and the group in a circle dancing. Everyone danced, including Greg, Derek, and Geoff. I was a little sad to see the dance end. They played a really retarded last song: The Reason. Grrr...

After the dance, Emily, Geoff and I made an improptu stop at Meijer for ice cream. It was funny walking through Meijer in formals. Then the girls hung out and talked. Emily got the digital pictures on to the computer and thay are awesome. This morning, Emmy and I took pistures of every one just as they were waking. right now, Noelle and Jocie are trying to give high fives and keep missing. Now they are telling "your mamma" jokes.

I didn't want Homecoming to end: Emmy and I have been looking foward and planning for about 3 -4 months. well, next big thing..Prom?
