The college football National Championship was held in Phoenix. Like with the Super Bowl last year, they had another block part in downtown Phoenix. First we went to check out the Tuft & Needle showroom. They are revolutionizing the mattress business, and the company was built in Phoenix. I felt like I was in San Francisco, it was very hipster, but they were super nice. The showroom is currently in the warehouse district. After we signed in, they told us we could have all the free bagels and tea we wanted!

They had individual rooms we were able to go in and check out the mattresses. We plan to buy one soon so I will let you all know what we think of it, but so far it seems pretty good!

Then we headed downtown to check out to action and enjoy the energy.

Some were ice skating at City Scape. 

Here is their main stage where they had the concerts.

We saw the Budweiser Clydesdales. 

We watched as they gave a police escort to the horses. We turned around and exchanged pleasantries with Jesse Palmer!

They did not have nearly as many free things this year, but the stuff they had was better quality. We got free Dr. Pepper, some glasses, Chick-fil-a sandwiches and coupons for more Chick-fil-a! We also chatted with a retired Clemson professor for a few minutes. It was such a fun night to experience all the hype of college football.

Also, I hadn't walked much the entire week, in fact I got in more walking in one day as I got in the whole  week!

Matching bikes and free food

Matt started work this past Monday, and he has decided he works for the best company in the valley! He has gotten lots of free food so I would be enjoying it too!! Needless to say, he is liking it! I put him in charge of meeting new friends for us since he works with so many people around our age. He has been working very hard and was able to find a couple friends. On Friday we even went out with some of them! They took us to a Mexican place then out for ice cream. We had a great time!! Hopefully, they will be a couple we continue to hang out with.
We piked up a bike for me this past week so we took our (matching) bikes out to Papago Park for some riding. I was pretty much terrified the whole time, but it was really beautiful! We will try it again soon.

Can you see our matching bikes?!?

Matt took over the camera at this point...I decided to only put up one picture he took..

Love the red rock!

After, we headed down to my grandparents house for some relaxation. It is so nice to have them around to have familiar faces to see and more free food! ;) We watched one of Jadyn's last basketball games for the year. It feels like we are right there, but we get to watch from the couch instead of the bleachers. Atlee also was awarded for doing so well on the state tests. She is so smart!! One proud big sister over here!

I'm so excited the Olympics have started, are you watching?!? We have been trying to catch as much as we can. It's been pretty exciting so far!! Hope it continues to go well!
