OBU Homecoming 2009

This weekend was Ouachita Baptist University's Homecoming! I graduated from OBU in 2005. I loved my OBU experience and I always love going back and seeing lots of people I knew while I was there!

One of my very best friends/pledge sister, Stefan came and spent the weekend with me! I love and miss her so much!

There was a LIVE Tiger at the Tigerfest on Saturday morning! So cool!

Our group going to Saturday night Tiger Tunes show!

I got to see my name on the sidewalk at OBU for the first time!

For those of you that don't know anything about Tiger Tunes... Basically all the social clubs put together a 6 minute show including a theme, costumes, singing, and dancing! There are 4 shows and each show normally sales out a 1500 person theatre! All the ticket money goes to scholarships for current students. It's seriously SO fun! Here are each group from this years shows...

4th Floor boys- Campus Safety

EEE- Airline Passengers (A little girl is riding on a plane, dreams they make an emergency landing on an island where natives come out and then she wakes up! It was super cute!!)

EEE's WON 2nd place!!

Chi Delta- Women in the Wild

Campus Ministries- Church goers -1st place

Rho Sigma- Munks

Tiger Blast- Gansters Paradise

Kappa Chi- Knights- 3rd place

Tri Chi- Soccer Moms

Host and Hostess

Beta Beta- Jockeys

EEE Circle after Tunes on Saturday night! Everyone meets there including Alums and sings our song!

While at OBU I got to tour the new dorms! WOW! I lived in a dump in college and they get to live in these!! So lucky!

Each room is a suite. It has a living room, kitchenette, 2 full bathrooms and 4 single bedrooms!

One of the many lobbies! It was seriously so pretty!

They have a few of these sun decks, as well as a fitness room and a movie theatre!!

Our very eventful weekend!

So... This weekend was Matt's 10 HIGH SCHOOL REUNION! I can't believe he is old enough to have one of those. We started dating my Senior year of high school and he was a Junior at OBU so it just seems crazy that we are that old! We took off work on Friday and loaded the car with our stuff and Romeo and left Fayetteville at 11:30am! Friday night we went to the Arkadelphia High School game!

I haven't been to a game in 2 years. It was fun to see everyone. We met up with the class of 1998 before the game and had a tailgate. I was a cheerleader in high school so I still enjoy watching them cheer and see what cheers and band dances are still around from when I cheered! Don't worry there were a lot!
I left the game early to go to Tiger Tunes. So if you know me, you know how I feel about tunes but if you don't let me tell you, its literally one of the most favorite and fun memories I have in my life! I absoluty love going back and watching the clubs! My love for it came my Junior year when I was elected to be a Tunes director for my club, EEE! Nicole Engelkes and I shared the duties and we worked all summer into the fall to make our show the best! We were a Toy store at night. We had Barbies, G.I. Joe, Raggedy Anne, and Cowgirls. We even had a Jack-in-the-box! So I don't have any pics on this computer of this show but I do have these...






Yes this would be us WINNING TIGER TUNES!! I always tease Matt and tell him winning Tunes and getting engaged were tied for the most exciting nights of my life! I am kidding of course but I am not going to lie they are very close! :)

So you can probably see from how high I am jumping in the first picture that I LOVE Tiger tunes!!! This year the EEE's came in 3rd place. I was very proud of them. It was the 30th year for Tunes and the EEE's have won 7 times following very closely to Kappa Chi's 9 overall wins! Kappa's always have very good show and this year they have a Great one! I wouldn't say that if I didn't have too since they are our biggest rival! But congrats Kappas they won 1st place and defiantly deserved it!

On Saturday night I had to forgo going to the finale of Tunes and go with Matt to his reunion. We went out to the country club for a bar-b-q dinner. We had a great time seeing so many people we haven't seen in many years. There were some Matt hadn't seen in 10 years! It made me almost ready for mine, but I still have 3 yrs! :)

I have a lot of pics from the reunion but they are on my moms camera so as soon as I get them I will post again! Wish us luck moving on Friday! We get the keys to our new very nice rental house tomorrow so let the fun begin!!
