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.
For Halloween we decided to go to our local pumpkin patch at Fairfax & Third and pick out a pumpkin. It was surprisingly cool outside, and pretty deserted, but we had fun picking out a pumpkin.
And then we went to Dupar's in the Farmers' Market for dinner and had pumpkin pie :-)
We carved the pumpkin in Mission Viejo on the night before Halloween. Curtis was responsible for the design and most of the execution, while Christine baked the seeds.
Cute pumpkin, right?
This past weekend we went to Provo for James & Marjorie's Wedding! It was quite the whirlwind trip. We were fortunate and had good traffic in both directions, such that each way only took a little over 9 hours. It was a wonderful weekend - the bride and groom looked so happy and everything turned out great. Even the weather cooperated after scaring us in the morning with rain.
In addition to the wedding festivities, we took a trip to Curtis' grandparents' home in Syracuse, UT for the day. All in all it was great to spend time with the family.
I believe this is the last wedding pictures post - 2 months later! We're finalizing the album, and I'm going to order a bunch of prints to put around the house. It was a wonderful day.
