My good friend Caputo got to town on Thursday night so we stayed up late chatting and giggling like girls always do when they're with their friends and slept in late Friday morning. After going to lunch and doing some shopping for some of her family members for new Iowa gear, we came back to our place to lounge. We quickly realized that there was a day long marathon of Say Yes To The Dress on and well, after we realized that, it was a done deal. We were committed to the couch and recliner for the rest of the day! The rest of the crew didn't show up until 7:30 and Jordan was gone working until 9:00.....the best part of it all was we got a notice on the TV screen that said "Going into energy save mode due to inactivity of 4 hours." Yes, that means that we didn't even touch the remote for 4 HOURS! We just can't resist a good TLC marathon of SYTTD! Once everyone got here, we had a few cold ones, got all dolled up and hit the town. Of course, by hit the town, we went to Brother's and only Brother's. We met up with several other people and had a great time. Lots of dancing, lots of laughing and not so much drinking because we wanted to keep it somewhat together so we could make it to tailgating early in the morning!
Saturday morning rolled around and we all woke up to ACDC's Back In Black...it wouldn't be a Hawkeye Saturday without waking up to their intro theme song! Once we all pulled it together, we headed to Melrose Madness to enjoy some good ol' tailgating Hawkeye Style! I love the atmosphere of gameday in Iowa City and I don't think it will ever get old to me! Unfortunately, I had to go to work for the afternoon so it was a tame tailgating morning for me and I went to work for a few hours....but when I got back, the game still had half left so I caught up pretty quick to everyone! Turns out everyone tailgated all day long for the whole game...and then some! And the Hawks won which made it an even more exciting Homecoming weekend! Way to kick off the conference play and start with a win Iowa! We all made the trip back to our place, crashed and napped but then since we were all recharged, we started round 2. And what other way to start it off than by doing a Game Day powerhour and a Disney powerhour?! We got loud. We got rowdy. And we got out of control. But we didn't get any knocks on our door from neighbors and no one got injured. We had a riot and thinking of 13 adults all screaming out the name of the Disney movie as the powerhour clip would change still makes me laugh. Man, we have some awesome friends.
We wrapped up the weekend by making breakfast on Sunday morning and all lounging and recovering watching some NFL football. One by one, our friends had to leave but at least we know we'll all be reunited at the end of this month for our close friend's Jared and Heather's wedding....can't wait! All in all, what an awesome, entertaining and fun loving weekend. It's weekend's like this that make Jordan and I so thankful for joining Dance Marathon because that's where we met all of our closest friends and the ones who were here with us this weekend! Already anxiously awaiting our next reunion at the end of the month!
