Flashback Friday -- Homecoming

{19 October 2001: BYU's Homecoming -- Featuring all of Scott's roommates from that year.  Fun fact -- by the end of that school year, every one of his roommates (except for one)  had already married or was engaged to the girl they took to this dance.}

I found the picture!!!  It took MUCH searching and digging and sleuthing, but I finally tracked down this winner of a picture from Homecoming of 2001.  Because it was almost EXACTLY 12 years ago today that the picture was taken, I decided it was the obvious best choice for this afternoon's Flashback material.  

Aside from the fact that it was a super fun night of eating out, dancing and hanging out with friends/roomies, this night was also monumental for Scott and I because it was on this night -- only a few weeks after my earlier revelation -- that I finally told him I loved him.  I know, I know.  Such a cliche BYU love story, right?  Dating for less than a month and already in love.  Hahaha.  It really didn't seem that rushed at the time.  I promise!  As soon as I started dating Scott, though, it just felt like we had ALWAYS been dating.  It was really only a matter of time before things unfolded the way they did. 

 So young.  So in love.  

And now, 3 last comments to finish things up.  1.) I really wish I still had those earrings I was wearing.  They were from Ann Taylor and I loved them.  Unfortunately, I have a TERRIBLE track record with earrings that have traditional backs.  They always fall out and then I lose not only the back but the earring as well.  Scott's apartment in The Colony is probably still harboring one of those precious jewels.  :(  2.)  I also wish I still had this necklace.  I have no idea what happened to it, and it was one of my faves and the very first piece of Mignon Faget jewelry I ever owned.  Poor little banana flower pendant.  You were so unique and so loved.  {Single tear}.  And 3.) Posing for pictures in front of such a distracting background was a big mistake.   Oh well -- you live and learn.  :)
