Friday Night Lights

Wes and I and Karlton got to hang out at the SV during the Homecoming game.  We didn't do much, all the work had already been done by BAGA and company, but we were there to light it up!  Hooray!!  It's a tradition that hasn't happened for many many years.  It was a beautiful and inspiring sight when those lights went on.  We couldn't believe how it lit up the whole hillside!  We got some pizza and headed up before the game:

Lindy's dad brought up this monster generator!  Can you believe the size of this thing?  It's like garage sized!

Our view of the stadium:

And the rest of the valley:

We listened to the game until halftime, and then Lindy's mom got on the phone with the BAGA adviser.  She let us know when it was the appropriate time, and then...

It was so awesome to hear the roar of the crowd!!  Kori and BAGA were on the field when the SV lit up, and her exact text to me was "IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I'VE EVER SEEN! THIS IS THE BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE!"  Right after the lights went on, here came the fireworks!

During the second half of the game, we drove down the hill to see what it looked like from below.  Wow!  It looked even better than we had imagined!

Wes and I settled in until about an hour after the game when we turned the power off.  It was a gorgeous, pleasant evening, and it was fun to sit up there with my honey.  We even became (honorary) true Bobcats!

By now Kori is pretty much a walking zombie.  Yesterday was a very emotional day, and she is tired with a capital T!  She is off on her day date this morning, and then it's on to the dance tonight!  I think the SV will be lit up again tonight, and I'm excited to shake it with Wes at the Homecoming dance!
