Stanford vs. UCLA, Part II

Stanford is going to the Rose Bowl! Curtis ordered me these flowers to celebrate, he is such a good sport about it :-)

Stanford vs. UCLA, Part I

The two of us and our parents went to the UCLA-Stanford game at the Rose Bowl on Saturday.  Sadly, we will not be in attendance for Part II this Friday, which is the game that will determine who goes to the Rose Bowl.  But we will be watching and one of us will be happy on Saturday. 

The weather was amazing. 

This one made the Christmas Card.

Fall 2012: Stanford Homecoming

I attended my 5* year reunion at Stanford, which was very fun and totally worth the trip.  All pictures except for last one were shamelessly stolen from friends:

We had a girls' dinner at Reposado, in downtown Palo Alto, before the Class Party

beautiful fall game day and tailgate

Awesome seats - thanks Juls! 

* technically it has been 6 years since I graduated a year early but I opted to stay with class of '07 for reunions since I know more people from that class.

Stanford vs. USC 11/14

This weekend we were so excited to have our friend Juls in LA for the weekend with her boyfriend Andy to come to the USC game with us! We had such a good time. It was a 12:30 kickoff so we had an early morning. Juls & Andy arrived at LAX at 8:15 AM, and we got to USC around 9:30. Luckily we were able to use Christine's parking pass to park right by the Coliseum for free.

We signed up for the tailgate put on by Stanford, which was a delicious brunch (buffet breakfast burritos with an excellent spread of fruit, bagels and muffins!).

Had to be silly:

The group:
I wish I had pictures, but Christine's brother and parents were also at the game with us, so we had a great cheering section. As you probably heard, Stanford "trounced" USC, 55-21, so we had a pretty good time :-). Most of the USC fans had left the stadium by the time the game ended and the Stanford team came over to wave to the fans at the end of the game.

After the game we went to Wood Ranch at the Grove, and then went home and crashed. Juls and Andy treated us to brunch in the morning before we dropped them off at the airport, and so we had to take them to Toast! It was delicious, as always, and all in all, it was a fantastic weekend.

House Divided: UCLA vs. Stanford Football 10/3

This past weekend was our first trip to the Bay Area together since we got married: we went to the Stanford-UCLA football game.

We were somewhat weary of making the trip because neither of us are in perfect health right now and had a tough week. But, we already booked the hotel and bought the tickets and it's hard to turn down a game at Stanford stadium (at least for Christine it is) so we went.

The game was at 12:30 on Saturday, so we went to Stacks for breakfast (one of Curtis' favorite places to eat) and headed to the stadium to tailgate with our friends. Stanford dominated the game, but UCLA made a significant comeback at the end and got the Stanford fans on their feet, cheering for the Defense. Final score was 24-16, a Stanford win. Christine was thrilled, Curtis was bummed, but happy for Christine. We went to the bookstore and stocked up on gear for the family, met up with friends, and then headed back to LA. We'll be back in the Bay on October 24 for Stanford Homecoming vs. Arizona State.
