GOAL!!!!

So this weekend we went and saw Transformers with Jill & Dave, and Danny & a date. I had read the reviews and everyone had trashed it, so I was a bit worried, but the movie was just about what I expected it to be! It wasn't as awesome at the first movie, but it wasn't crap either. Definitely just a fun summer movie with lots of explosions. Right as the movie got out, a huge storm came and drenched the Gateway! We had to eat at Costa Vida (right next to the theaters) because we couldn't walk any farther than that for fear of getting drenched! All in all, it was a good night.
These pictures are from after the storm passed, but the clouds still looked pretty dang cool.
The next day the weather decided to cooperate a bit more (it was HOT) and Jason and I got to enjoy the warm night by attending a Real Soccer game. I would never pay the $30/ticket that they charge, but luckily our work had some extra tickets so we got to go. It was a lot of fun! The new stadium is super nice, and had a large crowd (18,000+ people!). We lucked out and our team actually won! 3-0. The weather was great, so we took our motorcycle to the game. It's a lot easier to park and get around those areas with a small bike.
This is a picture of some fans after a goal. They have smoke and confetti and all sorts of stuff! Those are some hardcore fans...
This is a picture of the new stadium with the beautiful mountains in the background. I love where I live!
After the game, we got a beautiful sunset. I love the mountains when they are silhouetted like that. So beautiful! We decided the night was too nice not to be enjoyed, so before we went home we took a short motorcycle ride up to the Bountiful temple. It's so beautiful at night! It was fun to be up there and see the fireworks going off in the valley below. I love how the 4th of July is more like a month-long celebration (when you add in the 24th) instead of just a one day celebration. There is always something going on during the month of July related to our Independence Day!
