Beaver Nation

Eric and I headed down to Corvallis to watch the Beavers take on Hawaii. We hit some major traffic on the way down and missed the pre-game tailgating-but we still had fun. We met up with the Charons and their family. It was Kayley's first Beaver football game. She was probably one of the youngest Beavs fans at the game! Amy and I got to sit next to each other and catch up during the game which was really nice. We stuck around after the game and chatted with friends. We even got to see our KD sorority sister Sally Metz. Fun with friends AND a Beaver victory-what could be better???

After the game, we drove to Eugene to say hello to Mike and Linda. Mike had a big race that day. We hung out and chatted with Linda and had some of her AMAZING blueberry crisp! It was SO good! We were glad that we got to spend some time with them. It was a great day!

Pints to Pasta

Last weekend we ran the Pints to Pasta 10K race. It starts at the adidas campas and runs along the waterfront, ending at the Old Spaghetti Factory. It is a very fun, fast run with a free pasta feed to all participants who are up for spaghetti at 9am. adidas sponsored the run and gave all employees who ran it free shoes. They also had a challenge to beat the CEO's estimated finished time of 45 mins. Each employee who beats the CEO gets entered to win a trip to the Boston marathon. Eric beat his time, crossing the finish in just over 43 mins. Boston here we come (we'll pass on the marathon!).

H2C 2008

Every year when I am running my last leg of Hood to Coast, I think to myself "why the heck am I doing this?". But every year, I want to do it again. There is just something fun about running in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere with five other sweaty people cramped up in a van. Not to mention living off of bagels and not having access to running water. What could be better!?! Sign me up again next year!

Backsplash is done!

We put in our granite countertops in over a year and a half ago and have been looking for the perfect backsplash ever since. We have finally made a decision and finished the project. One more down, many more to go!
