Homecoming 2008

This weekend was Kalamazoo College Homecoming. For the first time in several years, I was actually in town for the weekend (in the past it has conflicted with my admissions travels or quilt retreat weekend) and there was a great group of people who were also able to make it to town for the celebration. Saturday morning Jenn, Annalee and I braved the chilly weather and walked the 5K run/walk event. We had a great time (see pics below for our victorious crossing of the finish line!) and it was a good way to start off the day. After showers and coffee we all went and toured through the gorgeous new Hicks Center before heading over to the football game. We met up with the Wades, Podolners and Hilliards at the game. We actually almost won the football game--we lost by 1 point in the last minute of the game. While we lost, which was a bummer, historically we lose by 30-40 points instead of just one, so it was an improvement. Todd and I left after the football game to have dinner with the family, as his grandparents were in town on their way to Florida for the winter. Sunday morning we all met up for brunch at Colonial Kitchen and then hung out at our house for a little while. All in all, it was a great weekend!
