Okay for those of you who don't know HIMYM translates to the CBS hit show: How I Met Your Mother. I have been watching this show since the Pilot episode aired on September 19, 2005. And I have been a loyal fan ever since. Each episode just gets better and better. Now I don't know if the writers on the show or even the creators have ever been to Oregon but I personally love how they have over the years have made use of Oregon in their show.
My most favorite use of Oregon in the show came in Season 2, Episode 21: "Something Borrowed" when Marshall appeared wearing a vintage Oregon State Beavers T-shirt:
I have searched and searched and I have yet to find a place that sells this t-shirt...hopefully one day I will be able to have my own! If anyone finds a place that sells this shirt please let me know.
Last night I returned from a very quick trip to Oregon. I went to Portland for the weekend didn't have time to see everyone, but a cousin got married and it was the easiest way for me to see the most amount of people in the short time I had. It was great to see the Spears family as well as spend time with my dear friends the Delamarters and the Bensons. Making my trip extra special was getting to meet and spend time with my "niece", Georgia. She is the most precious and adorable baby I have ever met.
So after settling in last night I turned on last night's episode of HIMYM and not even moments into the episode this image appears on my screen:
For those of you who don't know that is Portland, Oregon's own Steel Bridge in the background and the title "Wakey Wakey Beaverton" is in reference to Beaverton, Oregon a Portland suburb. Seeing this image made me laugh all the more, despite the scenario already being played out on the screen. I love Oregon and I am really glad that my favorite show on TV is finding ways to show off my favorite state!
