It's the Climate

So there is this giant sign on main street in Grants Pass that arches over the road that reads "It's the Climate". Lets be honest the first time I saw it I laughed hysterically, and soon after began using it as a punch line to jokes about Grants Pass. Don't get me wrong I like the town, I just never understood the sign. Well that was until this past weekend when Kevin and I decided to go down to GP for the long weekend and see the fam.

We left right after school Friday and headed south arriving just in time to visit for a little while, and hit the sack. The next day the weather was beautiful! It literally felt like spring at 69 degrees. So we spent the day playing in the hot tub, playing catch with the kids (in T-shirts, no jackets needed), going for walks and really enjoying the weather and some popsicles.

When I talked to my mom that night and asked her how Idaho was and she said it warmed up today it was like 39 degrees. I laughed and said I am really starting to love Oregon and the 'climate'. I couldn't help but laugh at the choice of words I had used to describe Grants Pass. Guess it really does have a good climate.

Sunday was stake conference and then consisted of some more relaxing and playing with the nieces and nephews. It was fun to get to see all the GP Bergs, even Crew made a great appearance smiling and giggling for us. Sadly Monday came way to quick and we had to head back up to Portland and back to reality.

Jazz round 2

This year Jeff and Shelby happened to have both Kevin and I for Christmas. When they asked us if there was one big present they could get us that we would both enjoy, we both immediately agreed that a great present for both of us would be tickets to a Jazz game. So to the Jazz game we went.

While looking at tickets I happened to get an email from Amazon deals for score big.com (like priceline where you make a bid, but for tickets to big events instead of hotels). It was pay $7 dollars and get $30 credit to the website. So we decided to try it out. We picked the 5 star seats which were essentially the lower bowl and made a $40 dollar bid. They counter offered it with $45 and we were happy with that so we jumped on it. We ended up sitting at the upper part of lower bowl right behind the Jazz bench (which Kevin was happy about).

We stopped and got a yummy pizza dinner before the game and then drove over.  The game was really fun even though the Jazz lost (they beat the Blazers the night before at Utah). We enjoyed our seats and being close to the action. I like before was very amazed at how big some of the players are and how long there arms are. Seriously one of the players arms were longer then I am tall (at least it appeared that way).  Thanks Jeff and Shelby for a great present! We throughly enjoyed it!
