So the past four days have been really good. It all started with the home opener for the Ducks baseball team, the first in 28 years! It was an awesome game as it came down to a ninth inning walk-off single by Andrew Schmidt to win the game 1-0. Then they won again on Saturday 7-1. Who did they defeat? Only the defending national champions Fresno State. PK Park is not complete yet, but the field looks really good. It will be beautifual next season once the full stadium is finished.
On Sunday I took Morgan to her first Blazers game ever. We drove up to Portland and visited her nana in the hospital first, then met my mom, aunt and uncle for lunch at Red Robin. The game was against San Antonio, who had beaten us only 5 days before by 15 points, in Texas. This time the tables were turned and we completely controlled the entire game, up by as many as 29, and won by 18!
I have to thank my brother for the awesome seats, as they were a birthday present which was all the way back in November. It just took me a long time to pick a game, but man was it a good one. And it was great for Morgan because it was her first Blazer game ever – a big win over a good team and free Chalupas…what more could you ask for?
How about a Civil War victory? We got home just in time to see the highlights from the Ducks beating the Beavers!
By Monday it was the start of my new job at Hero-Web in Springfield. I am a sales and marketing assistant. the company has a whole suite of web design/e-commerce services tailored for small business. I feel very fortuante to have found a job in this tough economy, and it only took me two months after my first lay-off. This is a great opportunity to work for a really great company and develop my skills and experience.
