Now I know it seems that each week, I say that I think I am starting to look pregnant, but this week I REALLY am! I have graduated to mostly maternity pants and shirts, and some of the things I thought I could wear are definitely not working for me. Boo. I feel better when I wear maternity clothes anyways, since it makes me looks more pregnant and not just "chubby".
This week, we were in the OU Alumni Band for Homecoming, and we had such a good time with our friends Lindsey, Kim, and Joy! Now I can tell our bean that it once marched with the OU band! It was pretty tiring, but not as bad as I thought. The scariest parts were when we were waiting to go out at half time, and the football players kept getting way to close to our sideline! And I also counter-marched through the drumline, which was a new and loud experience for me. There was no playing when I passed them! While remembering old times with a small piece of our old group, we also created new memories and realized that no matter how much time and distance we are apart, we can always pick up where we left off. And one of my favorites from this weekend is when the flute section included us in the re-warm "HUH!"s that Kim invented when we were there. So much fun!
It meant a lot to be able to do it this year too, because it was Ashley's senior year, and Mr. Brian Britt's last year of 12. Being part of The Pride has been one of the best decisions Chris and I ever made, and most of that is due to how incredible of a person Mr. Britt is. He has so much integrity, humility, and has the ability to make everyone feel like a valuable person. There will be a huge hole in the OU family, but I am so happy that he has chosen to make more time for his family. I respect him even more for this decision - he is truly one of the greatest people I know. The tradition of The Pride will continue on, and I am forever grateful to have been part of such an amazing organization!
And on to the pregnant news!
