We spent this weekend, enjoying the nice weather and hanging out with friends.
We had dinner with our friend Kelly on Friday night. It was such a nice night, we walked to the store to get fixings for S ‘mores for our dessert. However, the men were not able to start a fire without the proper “kindling”, so we resorted to the gas stove. Needless to say, they were delicious and hit the spot.
Saturday we went to the season opener of the Timbers game with Alicia and Nick. If you have ever been to a Timbers game, then you know how devoted their fans are to their soccer team. Portland became an official city to host a Major League Soccer team. They will be renovating PGE park and by 2011, the new soccer stadium will be ready for its major league team. These fans are devoted to ninety minutes of constant chanting, singing, clapping and cheering!
The Timbers ended up winning, 1-0. It was a fun game to watch!
Sunday we went over to Kelly's house where she hosted a brunch for all of our friends! She is leaving again for two months on the road for her job! So, it was great to get together and spend the morning with good friends and give hugs to Kelly before she leaves!
I say unfortunately because it was not much of a game. We had about as good of a time as we possibly could have but when the Blazers are down by 29 points at half time, it is not a lot of fun. The Blazers came out flat and the Suns made them pay. The energy in the Rose Garden before the game started was amazing. It is a really fun atmosphere……not quite Autzen stadium, but as close as we can get during the football offseason. Oh well, hopefully Saturday’s game will be a little more exciting and we’ll have a happier blog posting.
