Beavers 45, Hawaii 7! Go Beavs!!!

We had a really good weekend. It was busy, but just the right amount of busy.

Friday we headed right to Corvallis after work. We wanted to make it to Great Harvest before they closed to use our gift certificate. We did, and we sampled bread and bought 2 loaves.....one honey wheat (I always have to get that!) and one 9 grain which we sampled and it was SO good. We've already eaten almost half the loaf of honey wheat!

After that we went to the OSU bookstore to check out their OSU gear. They had some good stuff. We wanted to get prices so when we come back know how much money to bring along to get some gear!

Then we went to the Clark's Sr. for dinner. Dinner was DELICIOUS! Steak, fresh watermelon, banana muffins (homemade) and salad. Yum! Trav's dad has been having some health problems, so we are keeping him in our prayers. We got home at about 10 that night, and watched a movie.

Saturday we got up at 8:30, got ready, and headed to Corvallis again! We parked at Travs parents and they drove us to the stadium where we set out to find our tailgaters! First we found Trav's bosses, Bill. They had a huge one, with TONS of good food and drinks. I had a pulled pork sandwich, some fresh cut pineapple, and some sweet and sour chicken and rice. It was all really good. We talked with his boss and all his friends for about an hour, and then headed to Rachelle's tailgater. We were there for about 20 mins and then we all headed to ANOTHER tailgater that they knew about. It was fun, going to all the different ones! My boss, Scott invited us to his to, but we never made it.

We sat down in our seats right at 1 and the game started. I LOVE the games. There is so much energy in the stadium. It's amazing. The Beav's started off a little rough. Hawaii scored the first (and their only) touchdown. We came back with a vengeance! It was so fun. The first half was very high energy because Hawaii was giving us a run for our money and we weren't that far ahead. The 2nd half we were just crushing them. It was so fun. That was the 5th game I've been to...and we still haven't lost a game I've gone to!! I'm really glad we won....it'll give our players some hope. Since it's doubtful we'll beat USC....and losing 4 in a row would have just killed our momentum! But now we won one! Yay!
We headed home, had some dinner, and went grocery shopping that evening.

Sunday we went to church at Oakcreek again. We liked it again. :) Thats a good record so far! Then we went to my parents and we all headed to Mt. Angel to the Oktoberfest. We ate lunch at the Glockenspiel Restaurant which is very well known and was a lot of fun! The Oktoberfest was fun. It was a hot day, and all the booths/tents/activities were outside. We looked at all the booths, listened to the music, watched some dancing, had real strawberry shortcake AND a real strawberry lemonade, and enjoyed the different "culture". It was a lot of fun.

We headed home and finished up our chores before watching a movie and going to bed. :)

It was a great weekend.
Now it's back to another work week! This Friday we'll be heading to Bend to stay with Ladd for the weekend. NEXT weekend we're planning on doing NOTHING. :0)
Back to work!
