As I mentioned before, Pi banquet was this weekend. Matt came in on Friday to spend the weekend with me and to be my date for banquet! I’ll try to give a fairly short recap of the weekend (sometimes I get carried away though! :)).
The theme for banquet was 1920’s – 1940’s. For a while I was really excited about the theme and wanted to find the perfect outfit to wear. However, after searching for a while and having no luck, I finally decided to just get a nice dress to wear. It took quite a bit of searching even to find a dress that I liked (and that was in my stingy price range!) but I finally found one! It is just a plain black dress, but it’s a really cute one! It turned out to be just fine for banquet, and its one that I can wear again for other events!
I mentioned before in a previous post that I had my first Waffle House experience when Matt was here earlier in the semester. Well, we went again! I almost hate to admit it, just because of my previous notions of the cleanliness and quality of Waffle House, but it is SO GOOD! I had them add pecans to my waffle so it was even better. Jill, I think you were the first person to ever put pecans in my waffle :) - you got me hooked! Anyway, after we ate we went and saw the movie “Dan in Real Life”. Steve Carell is in that movie and he is hilarious! He is such a funny guy but most of his movies are pretty filthy. Lately, though, it seems like he has been doing more family friendly movies. He was also in the movie “Evan Almighty”. Anyway, Matt and I both really enjoyed the movie. I would recommend it!
On Saturday Matt and I went to the mall. I think we originally went to look for me some new dress shoes, but that didn’t last long. If you’ve ever been shopping with me, you know that I get tired of shopping REAL QUICK… especially when its for shoes! I didn’t find anything I liked in the first two stores so I basically gave up! Haha! :) I didn’t want our trip to be completely useless though so I told Matt that I would buy him a new dress shirt for banquet. We looked a few places but eventually ended up at JC Penny. We found a table that had dress shirts on sale for $17. I picked out one and Matt picked out one and we couldn’t decide which we liked better. I finally decided on the grey one (the one that I picked out!). :) BUT, we liked both shirts so much that Matt decided he would go ahead and buy the other one as well. We went up to the register to check out and my shirt rang up for $6! I think the woman checking us out thought that we were crazy because when I saw the price I said, “WOAH! SIX DOLLARS! AWESOME!” and Matt stood behind me and yelled, “HOT DOG!” Haha! We were surprised though because we knew the table said they were $17! Well then Matt got up there with his shirt and his rang up for $17! Haha! I felt bad because I was the one who told him I would buy him a shirt, then he actually spent more! In my defense, I DID offer to pay for that one too but he wouldn’t let me. :) He wore the one that I picked out to banquet that night and it looked very nice!
We left Saturday evening to go to banquet! We went to Remington Park here in Edmond. It is a horse racing facility and a casino. OF COURSE, we only saw the horse races. :) We got there and everyone just kind of hung out and visited for a while until dinner. We were in a suite that was really nice. There were TV screens everywhere inside so you could watch the races (or college football…) from inside. There was also a big balcony that came out from our suite so you could walk out and watch the races. It was really cool! Dinner was amazing but there was sooo much food! I had half a chicken on my plate… literally! It was very good food though. While we were eating we got these papers where we could write down the horse that we thought would win for four different races then whoever had the best card won a prize. I surely didn’t win, and I wasn’t there when they announced the winner… but it wasn’t me, so I don’t care. :) Later in the evening a few of us walked down to the track and stood down there to watch a race. After standing down there in the cold for a little while we decided it was time to go! It was pretty late by the time we got back so we all went to bed shortly afterwards. Here are my pictures from the evening!
Down by the track. We were trying to get the horse in the background as it was walking by, but we only got his rear end!
A picture by the track WITHOUT a horse's rear end... :)
I'm not sure what was going on in this picture!
Awww.... :)
Doesn't that dress shirt look nice? :)
Hanging out on the balcony...
By the track again...
After church this morning Matt and I saw the animated movie, “Bee Movie”. It was a cute movie! The best part was listening to all of the kids in the theater laughing. It was a lot of fun. Since Matt has a long drive from OC back to Athens, he left after the movie! I think it takes him around five hours! I’m glad he’s willing to make the drive sometimes though! :) We had another fun weekend together.
Now back to OC events. We had a volleyball game tonight. I think that I am now, for sure, on B team! There was some confusion for a while whether I would be on A or B team, but I think we finally got it figured out! I am glad I’m on B team – it is much more on my level! We played really well tonight and came out with a win! This week at OC is Homecoming week so I’m sure its going to be busy! I’ll try to keep y’all updated!
