First Visitor

Just days of completion of our new place, we had our first visitor! Mr. Jacob Dickerson, of Utah! :) 

Jake was coming into town with his family for a huge rival MLS soccer game.  I do enjoy soccer yet it is not something follow... but I am not going to turn down a good time! So we joined in on the fun! Jake warned us that the Real Salt Lake fans were NUTS.... and we should have known seeing they were driving 8 hours for an away game! 

Jake dressed us head to toe in the RSL garb and we were ready to go! What a trip! It was so exciting.  They were playing the Colorado Rapids who needed the win in order to make it to the playoffs. (RSL had already sealed their playoff spot)  I felt a little guilty not being in Colorado gear.  Can't be a good start to my karma in our new city but I would not DARE show up in rival gear and sitting in the visitor section.  I would have lost my head! The game went 0-0 so just a tie! 

It was a very rowdy environment.  Soccer fans are known for songs, scarves, chants and aggressive fans.  RSL did not stray. They were singing and chanting.  Tossing confetti. Even getting ejected from the game.

Since Jake was in for the weekend, we toured around downtown.  Enjoy some tasty brunch at a new place just minutes from our house. We went down to a rollerblading contest which Jake's brother Daniel was competting in.  Quite and experience.  And of course watched the OU/KU football game at the OU bar in Denver, Stony's. 

It was an awesome weekend with friends.  We are so excited to have Jake living just hours away from us now! We look  forward to many visits from him... and now... it's your turn to visit... yea, you!
