OCTOBER
One of my favorite months of the year. Why? Because October at OBU = Homecoming + (more importantly) TIGER TUNES.
Tiger Tunes (for those living under a rock who do not know) is an annual event at Ouachita Baptist University where the "social clubs" put on a song and dance show all in the name of raising scholarship money for students. About three weeks out, the clubs, having decided on their themes at the end of the spring semester, learn the routines and songs and practice practice practice. Then the shows are performed over a a four day span, Wednesday through Saturday. Awards, like "Theme & Lyric," "Best Costume," and "Choreography," are presented each night and then the winners are announced in the final show on Saturday night.
It is SO FUN.
I may be a little biased, because I participated in Tunes for 3 out of my 4 years at OBU. We try to go to at least one show every year. My husband seems to enjoy it too, unless the Arkansas Razorbacks are playing. ;)
This year, my youngest brother is a freshman at OBU. I thankfully had the weekend off so my family made plans to drive down to Arkadelphia and attend the Homecoming game and Tiger Tunes…oh yeah, and to see Clark. (LOL)
Aaron and I got the game a little early because my social club the EEE's have a Homecoming Tea before the game every year. I was able to run into some old sisters and some of my pledge sisters that I haven't seen in a good while! It's always nice to be back on campus, considering that it was my "home" for 4 years.
I hope that Clark will enjoy his time there as much as I did. But anyways…
Aaron is obsessed with the hamburgers at the OBU games, so he was tickled to get not one, but TWO burgers. Basically his trip was made right then and there.

It's always fun to see these friends!
we had a great time at the game!
We found my family and sat with them during the game. It was tough, but OBU pulled out a win over Harding University! We went to a late lunch and then my parents went to the early Tunes show, Joshua went to hang out with Clark in his dorm room, and Aaron and I roamed around campus and posted up in the student center to watch the Razorback game before the late Tunes show started.
Tunes was wonderful and my EEEs made me really proud! They didn't win, but it was still a great show, and I think the group that won really deserved to win. We didn't get home until 1am but I think we both thought that it was worth it because we had a wonderful Saturday at my old stomping grounds!
BOTH of my pledge sisters are recently engaged!
