Boys of Fall

This past Friday was my little hometown's homecoming.  My bestie was home for the weekend and even though I had a terrible day, my back was killing me and I was not keen at the idea of sitting on metal bleachers in the cold (and possible chance of rain) to watch a sport I had little to no idea how it was played I went to the football game.  I'm so happy I did because I had such a lovely time chatting my best friend since kindergarten who is literally like my sister (I call her parents mom and dad and I claim her brothers as my little bros).  I even figured out a little about football!

Alma mater homecoming game with the bestie.





A and I watched the halftime homecoming ceremony reminiscing our senior year homecoming football game in October 2011.  For the first time in high school I spent most of the football season standing on the fence watching my classmates play their hearts out and appreciated their hard work.  The memories I made in the bleachers senior year are ones that I love to revisit each year around this time.  Usually it happens when I hear Kenny Chesney's Boys of Fall.  Without fail this song takes me right back to those home games we looked forward to.



Now I feel the need to watch Remember the Titans!

      That's a lot of years! lol I think our school was one of the last high school homecomings of the year. We've always had our's later in the season.

    Thank you for linking up! It was the homecoming game for my high school a few weeks ago and I was supringsly sad that I didn't get to attend. I thought about doing this song for our Oct 1 theme of "fall." Instead I went with the lesser know Friday Night by Brantley Gilbert, which is also about HS football.
