The Best Weekend of the Fall

This past weekend was probably the best weekend of the season!

It was homecoming weekend at Southwestern and the girls came back in town! Kat and Liz came to visit for the weekend and we had a fantastic time!

Thursday night we picked Kat up from the airport and right away painted the town red! We went to eat at Katz Deli, yummy! Then we headed down the way to our favorite gay club RAIN! By far the best dancing, the best music, good drinks, but not so hot amateur strip night. YUCK! Little 18 year olds thinking that their whitey tighties look better when they are droppin it like its hot, guess its not my thing. We got back at 4 am, oh my word! Then Alan, Jessica and I had to be at work in the morning. TERRIBLE! I will never stay out that late and then go to work the next day ever again.

So went to work Friday, then came back and went to dinner with the crew. Dos Salsas, doing it right. Then we went to Leigh's and played Kings Cup, I really just watched, and it was quite a sight to see.

Saturday we did all the homecoming festivities. Parade in the morning! My Phi Lambs looked so cute, and I was soo proud to pass the torch to my girl Anna Gale! She did such a great job. BBQ was awesome, I was stuffed from Monument bfast, but I couldn't pass up bbq. We then went to the LGBTA alumni meet and greet and then made our way over to the phi lamb alumni reception. Which was absolutely lovely! I got to see lots of old friends, lots of ones I still have, and celebrate sisterhood. I'm so proud of these girls. They have got a really awesome new chapter room and they are doing some really amazing things in the community and on campus, I'm just very proud.

Liz came in town around this time and it was sooo good to see her. Even though it was such a short trip and I'm sad I didn't get to spend some 1 on 1 time with her, its a boost of energy I need. She knows me better than anyone and its always a treat to spend time with her.

I spoke at the reception about how much like a family those girls have been and are to me. When I came out I didn't think Phi Lambs would be the most supportive group, or supportive at all. Phi Lambs has never changed because I've changed. Even if some of them didn't agree with my life, didn't agree with who I am, they never treated me any differently or didn't love me any less. They kept me in their life and accepted the part about me and the new love in my life. I love them.

Saturday night we went to the alumni hospitality house for a while. I saw an old professor who said, "BRITT!! I told you not to get married didn't I?!?! You look so happy now!" I love it! Then we went to SING! The Phi Lambs and Kappa Chi's did great! They got 3rd (even though I feel they should have received 1st) best theme development, and people's choice (which in my mind is 1st place!). We then went to the Alumni Hospitality house again and had a blast! We saw old friends and danced the end of the night away!

Sunday we went to church, had an amaaaazing dinner of braised short ribs, mashed taters, green beans, and deep dish cherry pie. Oh, and I shouldn't forget the wine. We played this new game emily taught us and I think its my new favorite card game!

That was it! Sounds like a simple weekend, but it was sooo much fun and so good to see my girls. Now I'm off to a conference! WOO HOO!
