Today was the first day I had to dig out the suitcases under my bed and pull out a sweater to wear. It served as just another reminder that we are already into the month of October and Fall is upon us! it makes me very happy because I love everything about the season: beautiful fall leaves, Halloween and pumpkin carving (yes you can still carve pumpkins in college!), sweatshirts and campfires, the smell of pumpkin spice candles, and of course some Illinois Football!!
I'm especially excited for Homecoming this year, because I made it onto the Homecoming Court! It was quite the process of applications and interviews, but being selected to represent my senior class was an amazing honor and I am so excited for all that it entails. Next week the festivities begin with a number of receptions, alumni events, the parade and pep rally, concluding of course with the game. Woooot! Go Illini! It's been a really exciting week for me, and I just wanted to share my big news! Hope everyone stays nice and warm in these chilly fall days!
Congratulations, Marli!! hope it goes great. I'm glad to know others besides us know that you're beautiful inside and out.
ReplyDeleteWE just got back from watching a game from the president's box at BVU (where andrea and LIz are) for their homecoming. BV won by 4 or 5 points, thanks to a fumble. we got into the box because Alice (on her 50th anniversary from grad from there) was honored with an award. Another one who was honored graduated in 93, is the legal officer for the economics and trade branch of the United Nations Environment Program. and his wife works as a migration policy specialist for the international orginazation for Migration in Geneva. Made me think of aunt marybeth who worked for the UN and lived in geneva, and whose mother also graduated from BV!!
