Our Portland Weekend

This last weekend was the OSAA Oregon State Soccer Championships and Ryan was nominated by his region to be a soccer referee. His name was chosen and he got to be Ref #4 for the 3A Boys State championship match. The game was 0-0 until the last two minutes when a soccer player for Team A tried to kick the ball back, but landed in the goal of Team B making him the game winning player...for the other team. (I hope that kid had an alternate ride home because I doubt his teammates would let him ride the bus!)

We were able to catch up with some friends, the Wilson's, for breakfast & a trip to Fry's (every man's technology dreamland. It was really, really fun. After a beautiful breakfast of pumpkin pancakes with pecan syrup I decided to try my mix-master skills on DJ Hero

Guitar Hero & Rock Band are sooooooo much more fun!

Ryan left for his pre-soccer referee duties, Heidi ditched her hubby & two boys and we went shopping!! It was alot of fun! Going into any store we wanted to, looking at whatever, asking an opinion without a one-word answer and of course....not having someone breathing down your neck asking you how much longer you are going to stay there - it was bliss. We topped off our shopping trip with a visit to Target and each walked out with a purple dress of our liking that was (each) under $10 - how can you beat that!?!

After the game Ryan & I were able to go to the temple and do some family names. It was an awesome experience, a personal project of mine, and who doesn't like going to the temple!?

We were able to spend sometime with Uncle Ron while we were up there, which is always a hoot! And enjoyed yummy Panda Express (I'm telling ya living in a small town with out a temple, Target & Panda Express....you really take advantage of what you can get when you can get it!!)

It was a great weekend!! Now! Onto the TURKEY!!! (or if you are like me) MASHED POTATOES AND GRAVY!!!!!
