Happy 2013, Sisters!
I hope you all brought in the New Year with new resolutions, and old friends! Personally, I spent my new year in downtown San Antonio with a new BUGWB friend :) We had a blast... of course, prior to our celebration, we spent a good amount of downtime at my house since we are all still recovering from the Bowl Game! How 'bout them Baylor Bears???
In case you didn't follow us on twitter much, let me share with you some of our tweets (most pictures included)

BUGWB takes on Abilene! Quick lunch stop with yummy BBQ... Seriously. It was delicious! Next stop: Van Horn, TX! #BUGWBGoesBowling
2:10 PM - 24 Dec 12 ·
NOTE: I missed taking a lot of really great pictures & making a lot of really great tweets... I was INCREDIBLY sick on the bus and actually spent the night in the bathroom on the bus... I missed the Christmas Day rehearsal too because I was too weak to do anything. :( It was REALLY awful! I made the best of my time at the bowl game, but hated the fact that I had this 24 hour stomach bug. I didn't fully recover from it until the bus ride back when I was actually able to sleep!!! :)
SO, to fill in the time I missed I will make my own tweets right now:
We finally made it to San Diego!!! Can't wait for a yummy buffet breakfast! #BUGWBGoesBowling #breakfast

WOW! I don't think anyone was expecting all this BUGWB "swagger"! #BUGWBGoesBowling

So happy that all our returning members know the drill! It's going to be a fantastic performance! Next stop: Christmas Dinner! #BUGWBGoesBowling
6:30 PM - 25 Dec 12
#ChristmasDinner done right! We had a nice salad, steak and tilapia (I think, I don't like fish, so IDK!), AND DESSERT!

Our to do list today: load buses, head to the San Diego Zoo, spend a lot of time at the zoo, shower, then head south to BEAR COUNTRY!#sicem
10:24 AM - 28 Dec 12
Going down a hill, the bottom compartment of the bus 3 opened & our hat boxes came flying out! It's all good though! Onward to the ZOO!

We just met ET! His name is Winston and he is approximately 100 years old! He lives here in the San Diego Zoo! #BUGWBpic.twitter.com/avm0PWm7
12:23 PM - 28 Dec 12
(Winston was Steven Spielberg's inspiration and face for ET!! .... And he also responds to his name! Incredible!)
NOTE: I literally slept from San Diego to El Paso... I woke up twice to use the restroom when we stopped, but fell right back asleep! 12 hours of sleep & I completely missed New Mexico! Yay for getting better! Haha
Hey Texas!!!! The Golden Wave Band has returned! Breakfast time :)

We made it back to Waco safely! #BUGWB just dropped off their uniforms at Floyd Casey for the last time this season, until August 2014!
11:03 PM - 29 Dec 12
(going back and reading this tweet, I meant that BUGWB will drop off their uniforms at Floyd Casey for the last time until the season ends in 2013... haha... silly 140 characters & sitting on a bus for 26 hours....)
Thanks to @LoriScott12, our final time from San Diego, CA to Waco, TX is 26 hours & 28 minutes! #wehavelanded! #heywaco #heybaylor#BUGWB
11:08 PM - 29 Dec 12
Needless to say, I had a blast at the bowl game... especially when my tummy cooperated! :3 We hope you enjoyed watching the game as much as we enjoyed being there! It was a fantastic time to be a part of the Baylor University Golden Wave Band & I guarantee you, none of us will ever forget it! :3
