(Anyone recognize the Friends reference?)
Terry and I attended three sporting events over the course
of the last three days. The UCLA football game on Saturday was fun but didn't turn out great (though we’ll have a rematch on Friday when we face Stanford
again), and the UCLA basketball game last night was a disaster, because the Bruins lost
their 16-point lead.
While yesterday didn't turn out
great, we did love the chance to see the newly renovated Pauley Pavilion. The
stadium is truly incredible, quite worthy of UCLA’s storied history in the
sport (it would be nice to return to those glory days…).
My favorite UCLA player, Arron Afflalo (All-American 2007)
I got all choked up reading about one of the greatest love stories of all time, Nell & John Wooden.
Tonight we went to a Clippers game, courtesy of Terry’s work. Neither of us is a huge pro basketball fan (Terry likes the Lakers best, though), but we figured it would be fun to do something new and different, perhaps as part of our LA Bucket List. We carpooled to work and headed out together to downtown to get dinner before the game, and we certainly had fun despite yet another loss. (Apparently, we're just bad luck this week!)

And LA Live and Nokia Plaza, the area around Staples Center, is really gorgeous, especially right now with all the twinkly lights. Also, side note, a few of the Kardashians were there. (Okay, Mom, that was my celebrity sighting for the month!)
And now we're going to take a little break from attending sporting events, since apparently we bring terrible luck.
Tomorrow I'm aiming to wake up a little early for some pre-work yoga. Who wants to make bets on what will actually happen?
What's your favorite sport to attend or watch?
I absolutely love anything Bruins, obviously. And baseball, too!
i have serious envy of your dates with terry. i feel like you two do so many things together and it's awesome! so many couples are content to just be near each other but not really spend time together but you and terry seem so great at actually spending quality time together!
ReplyDeleteAh, sorry about all your loses this weekend, Ha Ha. Fingers crossed that you have a better upcoming weekend w/ UCLA vs. Stanford.
ReplyDeleteFavorite sports to attend or watch: Football, Baseball, Hockey & Basketball. Okay, I guess it' safe to say I just love all sports.. with an exception of golf though.
I love you guys do these sorts of things together. So cute!
ReplyDeleteHey Julie! Okay, so don't judge, but I have the hardest time watching sports. I think I just don't understand what's going on. :P That makes this time of year especially tough. I'm always feeling like a sporting outsider trying to look in. *as a tiny violin begins to play in the distance*
