MCS homecoming was September 25, and I made the short drive back home for it and 4 friends from Tech came back with me: Sergio, Ryan, Lauren, and Emma. These 4 have become some of my very closest friends! They got to experience a Friday Night Light Football game at Mustang Field with MCS beating Breckenridge. Getting to see some of my old high school friends was a lot of fun.
While we were in Midland I took my friends to 2 of my favorite local restaurants:
Murray's and Carambas! We ate at Murray's before the football game on Friday night and on Saturday we ate at Carambas before we went back to my house to watch the Texas Tech-Houston football game.
Texas Tech lost to Houston by one point and it was quite an upsetting loss...
Let's just say it wasn't the most fun evening in the Guthrie household after the game.
We went to church at GCR on Sunday, ate at La Bodega, and headed back to the LBK!
Sunday night I worked at the South Plains Fair in the Wesley Foundation booth!
The Wesley Foundation is who puts on "Underground" which is the service I attend on Thursday nights. I worked the booth with 2 of my friends that I met at Foundation and who also go to Underground. We had a lot of fun working together.
The next week I experienced my first round of tests in a few of my classes! They went pretty well and I have a few more tests coming up this week! Classes are all still going well, and I'm still enjoying the college life!
This weekend was family weekend at Texas Tech. Friday evening my parents and my aunt and uncle (David and Debra) drove up to Lubbock in David and Debra's motor home. We cooked out steaks and sat around the fire pit Friday night. We even got in a cigar-smoking session for the boys! Sergio and another one of my new friends, Taylor, stepped in to fill the "son" positions to smoke with Dad since Cody Hammond and Jay Cunningham (who usually enjoy an evening of smoking cigars with my dad) are in College Station. Saturday before the game we cooked out hamburgers for lunch before heading over to watch the game.
Tech played the University of New Mexico and won...thanks in part to our back-up quarterback, Steven Sheffield. We did not play well the entire first half and our primary QB, Taylor Potts, was really struggling. With less than a minute to go before half-time, Potts took a hard hit and got a concussion. He went off the field and Sheffield took over. With about 40 seconds left Sheffield marched our offense down the field and managed to get a touchdown in before time expired for half-time! He continued to play very well, making several great completions throughout the second half leading us to a 48-28 victory over the New Mexico Lobos.
That's pretty much it for now...
Tech plays Kansas State next week and hopefully we can get another W in the book!
WRECK EM!
