New Carpet and More College World Series!

Jayson and I have wanted to get new carpet in our family room since the moment we walked through the house. We ordered it through Lowes and let's just say it took 4 weeks, lots of phone calls, and finally some negotiating to get it in! But, on Tuesday it finally came... but don't worry there was more trouble with the install. The carpet layers said they would be there between 12-2pm, so Jayson came home early from school. Well at 4:30 they showed up! We were mad because we had tickets to go to game 2 of the College World Series so we moved all the furniture ourselves (even though our price included moving furniture) just so we could speed up the process. We asked the men if they could run our cable cord underneath the carpet so we don't have to keep tripping on it and they said "that is above and beyond and we'll have to charge extra" So you are telling me that after being 2 and a 1/2 hours late and not having to move any furniture that it is "above and beyond"? So Jayson kept encouraging them to make a deal and finally (after calling his boss) he agreed.
So after much blood, sweat and tears here is the finished product...



In the process...


The old carpet...





MORE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES
So it turns out that Jayson and I are big baseball fans, who knew? We went to a game last Saturday and then Monday we met up with the Clements (my sister-in-laws family) for dinner after they had gone to game 1 of the finals. We had so much fun talking with them. They are a great family. They were so nice and gave us 4 general admission tickets for game 2 and if the series was split they had tickets to game 3 that they couldn't use because they were flying home that day. We invited our next door neighbors to game 2 and had a lot of fun sitting next to the Clements. Thanks for the donuts Todd, they were delicious! Our neighbor Targhee bought these amazing fries, they are a potato that has been peeled (like an apple peeler) into thin curly pieces. They were really fun to eat!


Game 2 was really exciting because Frenso State (which we were cheering for because they are a WAC team) was down 5-0 (after losing game 1) in the third inning and came back to win the game 17-10 or something like that! It was really exciting with lots of big hits and home runs.

Thank you Clements! (Sorry that I am blocking you Tanya :)



So the championship came down to a game 3 on Wednesday. We took our friends Andy and Liz with us.



Game 3 was a little less exciting than game 2 but we had great seats and still had lots of fun. We were so happy that Fresno State was able to represent the WAC and beat the big Georgia bulldogs 6-1!
