Monday Musings

This weekend was eventful and relaxing at the same time with most of it focused around our SC Trojans beating the Oregan State Beavers at the Coli (as Pete Carroll affectionately calls it :) :)

Friday night Jake worked on his grad school applications while I started cooking some food for our tailgate. We went out for dessert at the Melting Pot a little later on (so yummy!) and enjoyed a quiet night together.

Saturday morning we woke bright and early to leave for LA. We tailgated all day and were thankful our Angels would not be playing at the same time as the Trojans due to rain in New York! We ate some frittata for breakfast, and chicken tacos with fresh quacamole for lunch! Yummy! It was an exhausting day for sure, but we made it home safe and sound by 10pm which meant a solid 14 hour day of football!

Sunday was a lazy day and much needed. We took Jake's little buddy Gilbert to see the movie Where the Wild Things Are. Jake was so super excited for this movie because it was one of his favorite books growing up. The book honestly used to freak me out because of all the weird monsters. I think the movie would have done the same so I'm thankful it was just now made into a movie. It was rated PG but I would not recommend bringing kids to see it. Anyway, I think Gilbert had a good time so that's all that is important.

We were lazy most of the rest of the day and Jake practiced for his big University of Texas interview this week. I had to act like I was interviewing him and it was funny listening to all of his responses because I know him way too well and knew every answer before he said it! I was joking with him that my answers for his questions were way better :) Later on we went over to Mudd/Cairney/Vidal's to watch the Angels lose and get knocked out of the World Series. Not cool! Better luck next year Halos!

This week will be very busy as we get ready for Halloween! Cant wait! Have a good week everyone!
