One LUCKY girl!

Well, yesterday carried on as a usual Wednesday....girls to and from school, errands, no hubby cause of work and school, etc. BUT then Scott called me at 1:00 to tell me he got us an AMAZING hookup and I needed to find a babysitter STAT! So I did. His boss gave us and another couple VIP tickets to the Jazz game that night. The tickets alone were $554.00 seats EACH! HOLY COW!!!! We were section 6 which is right behind the players, row 1 seats 1 & 2!!! Here's the tickets, which I had to scan cause it blew my mind to see that price on them. :) When we arrived our parking was paid for and then we were escorted to the VIP lounge for dinner. We felt SO special!

The dinner was actually very good. Here it is.
Then they took us to our seats. We sat down to take a picture and a security officer offered to take us on the court for a picture. How sweet!
We were literally right next to the rail where the players entered and exited. We were extremely star-struck. I LOVE Carlos Boozer so I took lots of pics of him. Here he is entering the stadium, right before high-five-ing me. :)
Also cool...Suzie and Kevin happened to be at the game. They had rad seats too in section 1, row 15. We laughed at each other the whole game.
I love Scott soooo much! Not only do I think he's wonderful, but so does his employer. Hence the reason we scored these amazing tickets. Thanks for being such a hard worker babe!
The stadium was on fire!
Watching the Jazz Bear come out on the Harley, that close, was so cool!
We couldn't get over how close we were to the players. They were in the very first row. Behind them were the coaches. Behind them were immediate family. Behind them were US! Wow! We got lots of calls and texts from family and friends telling us that they were watching us on TV the whole game. Luckily we recorded it and yep, there we are. Constantly! Too funny.
It was an awesome game. The Jazz kicked butt, of coarse. :)
Andrei Kirilenko didn't play because of an injury, but he sat RIGHT in front of us!!!!! Soooo cool.
At halftime they took us back to the VIP lounge for nachos, popcorn and sodas. Sweet!
Here's Jerry Sloan leaving after the game. He is an amazing coach.
Here I am about to give Deron Williams a high five. Overall I gave high fives to Carlos Boozer, Deron Williams, Andrei Kirilenko, Paul Millsap and Kyle Korver 3 times. It was awesome!
Suzie and Kevin came down onto the court with us after the game where she also scored a few high fives! :)
Here's Kyle right before we shook hands. :)

All in all it was a PERFECT night. It was honestly the best date ever! Scott and I were on cloud nine the whole time and we both felt extremely grateful and appreciative to have been given that opportunity. I feel blessed to be married to a man that is liked that much by his boss. We had better seats than him for crying out loud! That would have normally been a $1200 date and it cost us NOTHING! Wow. What a night to remember!!!

I can only imagine what an amazing night that was for you guys! It was incredible for me and I sat a lot further than you guys. It was so much fun seeing you guys there and just being able to keep looking at each other and laugh the entire night!
P.S Thanks for letting us come down with you guys...getting high fives from Korver and Miles was priceless!!! :)
