Homecoming Week

BYU's Homecoming week was a lot of fun! It really was fun for me because I'm an alumni now. To celebrate Andrew surprised me and we went to BYU Spectacular.  Before we went to the show we headed to the Cannon Center to take a trip down memory lane of our dating life. Since I had a meal card when me and Andrew were dating we ate a lot of meals together at the Cannon Center. It was weird going back and eating among the freshmen...haha. It was a great little date night. Then on Saturday I made blue pancakes for breakfast and Andrew headed to the parade to watch Seth dance in it. I had to work so I couldn't make it. Of course we went to the football game where BYU was playing Georgia Tech. We didn't go super early so we had higher seats but it was still such a blast. The best part is getting to hang out with the whole Garlick Cousin clan every game. We get asked every game if we are all related and we've gotten really good about explaining who are siblings and that there are just a lot of cousins going to BYU (We even have shirts being made).

Earlier in the week we got to watch Steven perform with the American Fork Marching Band. We went a little early because my high school was performing as well. I cheered really loud for my Bobcats but American Fork swept the competition. It took me back to my drill team days because marching band competitions and drill team competitions are VERY similar. I also ran into one of my all time favorite teachers from high school and have him meet Andrew. So even though it was homecoming week for BYU I got to have a mini homecoming for Sky View.

It was a fun week to celebrate BYU! I'm so grateful that I attended such a wonderful university. The best part about it is that it gave me my wonderful husband!!
