The third weekend of April is always the Ball State Women's Soccer Alumni weekend. The team has a "new" coach. He has been at BSU for a year now. He showed up last year right before alumni weekend. So last year was low key. Nothing really planned besides the game. Which was fine with us. More time to hang out and drink. Well this year the coach had it all planned out for us. Unfortunately he had the game scheduled for 5pm on Saturday. Stupid. That totally gets in the way with our drinking schedule. The game usually starts at 1 and we, the alumni, are usually hungover and sometimes puking on the sidelines.
The weather was shitty this year. It was 45 degrees and raining, with 28mph winds. We played on the football field since it's turf so we wouldn't destroy the soccer field. The current team had 2 games before us to make up from spring games that were cancelled. They did not want to play by the time kickoff came. It was a total debbie downer. The half drunk alumni won 2-1. After the game some people showered, not me, I just wanted to get the The Locker Room and start drinking. It was a fun night with the girls, catching up with some of them that I haven't seen in years. It was sad that a lot of the girls couldn't come back though. Brenda, class of 2006 and I, class of 2007 were the oldest almuni's that came back.

Ryan and Raegan went to Fort Wayne since it was Ryan's dads birthday. He took my jeep and changed the breaks for me. I didn't leave for the game Saturday until about 3 and came home at 2am. They didn't get home until 3:30 Sunday. It was so nice having the weekend to myself at home. I was able to grocery shop by myself (GASP!) and doing laundry and clean up and more importantly, lay on the couch and watch a lifetime movie! I was happy when my baby got home though!
