Huskers, Movie Date and a few more pics of St. Louis

Yesterday was the long awaited first game for the Huskers 2009 season. When we got to our seats in Memorial Stadium, a guy a few rows in front of us told his wife he had "goosebumps" from the anticipation and excitement.

My back/foot held out well, although I did have an increase in numbness as the game wore on. I got a great Christmas gift last year - my very own Husker stadium seat! It was very comfortable...well, as comfortable as a bleacher seat can be. Thank goodness for lots of scoring, so that I could stand up and stretch!

Before we left for the game, I spent the morning doing a bunch of touch-up painting around the house. It had been on my list for awhile; however, as you can imagine, not a high priority the past few months. I had went to Sherwin Williams to have them mix a fresh gallon to match exactly to the existing paint. Well, after 24 hours of drying, we determined it was definitely NOT the same color. Oh, great. So, Mike and I headed back to Sherwin Williams this afternoon to complain. The teenie bopper that mixed the paint 2 weeks ago had apparently screwed up the mixture. After a competent employee's intervention, our paint was re-mixed and we appear to have a much better match. My Labor Day weekend fun will include repainting my touch-up work.

After good luck at Sherwin Williams, we decided to go to a late matinee movie - The Proposal. Sandra Bullock is one of my favorite actresses. It was a cute movie. Mike even liked it.

We had a lot of good pictures from our St. Louis trip last weekend...too many for the last blog posting, so I've added a few more here.
