What a weekend. My parents were here in town to visit me and to see the Oregon Ducks play in Tucson. I am originally from Portland, Oregon, and my whole family LOVES the Ducks. One of the reasons I love living here is we are in the Pac 10 conference, and the Ducks come and play here in Arizona at least once a year. This visit wasn't good for the Ducks. U of A was a better team, and there went our hopes for a national championship. Now I'm rooting for the Sun Devils, the Rose Bowl is looking like a strong possibility! In fact, we will be live at Sun Devil Stadium on Thursday getting ready for the big game against USC.

I felt horrible, not only did my parents endure a tough loss, but I got the flu over the weekend... Start taking your vitamins folks! What I experienced over the weekend was HORRIBLE! I don't usually get sick, but this flu bug hit me hard, and I hear it's going around... Sore throat, stuffed nose, fever, YIKES. I had so many great things to show them about my new home, but I had to take it easy. I did tough out a visit to Scottsdale for Artfest. LOVED IT.! They had great entertainment and I picked up a few gifts for the family. If you haven't been to Artfest before, I strongly recommend it... Have a great week and we'll see you tomorrow starting at 4:30!
