Are You Ready For Some Football?

So on Friday night we went to Neil's game vs. Corvallis. They won 33-14! Neil had a lot of tackles, and just did an all around great job. They play my old high school, CVHS, this week.

On Saturday we were a little upset because some of our teams weren't doing so well. Notre Dame won... boooo!! But Michigan won! Oregon and BYU didn't play this last week. But the biggest upset was USC losing to Stanford. No offense to you Stanford lovers, but seriously... Stanford?!? It was a huge shock! Justin and I went to the OSU game and watched them play for the first time in their orange jerseys (which we both think look the best out of all their jerseys). They beat Arizona 31-16! The first half was a great game to watch, but they didn't score at all in the second half, and so that was upsetting.




Sunday was General Conference for my church. We loved it. There were so many great talks! Elder Eyring became our newest member of the First Presidency, and Elder Quentin Cook of the presidency of the seventy became an Apostle. The Relief Society President gave an amazing talk for women. It was very moving and touched me greatly! There were so many other talks well worth mentioning, but you'll have to look them up on LDS.org for more! We had Justin's choice meal with all my family over that evening. He had asked for a hot dog bar, so that's what we did. I called my sister who lives in Chicago to ask what entails a true Chicago hot dog, and we made ours as close as we could. Everyone enjoyed it and they tasted great! I just wish we could have had someone to tell us how close to a true Chicago dog they were. We ended the evening by watching the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition because it was the episode they filmed in Corvallis where Justin, me, and my brother-in-law helped out. Justin was hoping he would be on TV, but they seemed to just barely cut him out of every shot he could have been in. Still a great episode to put Corvallis more on the map!

Our week was great, hope yours was too!

Oh, poor poor Justin! That is to bad he didn't make his grand debut this Sunday! Conference was good though! Talk to you soon!
