Goooooo Jazz!!!!

Lauren's drill team had a fund raiser over the summer and at the fundraiser there was a silent auction. One of the items was tickets to a Jazz game. My AMAZING Dad was so generous and bid on the tickets and WON!!! Lauren called me to let me know that she was going to take me, and I can tell you I was soooooooo EXCITED!!!!! I found out in July that we were going to the game and I had to wait until December to actually go. We got the tickets and they were ROW 1!!! I was soooo excited! We weren't sitting on the court (those are folding chairs and don't count as a row) so we were second row right behind the Hoop. If any of you have Jazz game knowledge, you've heard of the doctor that throws chickens in the air during free throws... we were right by him! The tickets came with a dinner before the game and snacks during half time. Lauren and I had the TIME OF OUR LIVES and I hope that one day we can do it again (doubtful thought because face value of the tickets was $700.. A PIECE!! Nuts... who has that kind of money? Don't worry, my dad didn't even pay any where near that for the tickets.)At the dinner before the game.... Lauren and I probably looked like such tourists but we didn't care! We were going to enjoy every minute of this awesome experience! :) As you can see, my cute Hubby got me a green throwback jersey as an early Christmas Present.. I was so excited to wear it! Too bad the team didn't wear their throwbacks this night, but I still love the Jersey!Two of my favorites, D. Will and the Money Man Memo warming up for the game. When the team came out for warm ups, Lauren and I were freaking out! We were SOOOO CLOSE! I could feel drips of sweat flying off Booze we were so close :)The bear's eyes are Freaky!!!
Not my favorite Jazzmen but He was so close I had to take a pictureAfter introductions before the game started... Jazz cheer! Go Jazz!We were lucky enough to get to see the Spurs play. Tim Duncan is HUGE! I couldn't resist taking a picture of Tony Parkers nicest Asset :)
This was by far the BEST game we could have gone to. It was a nail bitter all the way to the end and we won with less that 20 seconds on the clock. Lauren and I were on the Jumbo Tron 4 times (which ties our record... what can we say? The camera loves us :) and we LOVED all the drinks, popcorn and nachos that we got at halftime

After the W by the team. Korver didn't play, but other than that, this was by far the most amazing Jazz experience I have ever had! Lauren and I were sooo lucky to be able to go experience the "good" life for a night and get to see the best game of the season so far! Thank you so much Dad for the early Christmas present! Lauren and I had the time of our lives and we will cherish the memory forever!!! You are the best and I love you!!!!


Up next: CHRISTMAS!!!

such cool times! I am glad you guys had such fun! I still say that the throw-back jerseys should include the tiny shorts. the tickets sales would skyrocket.
