It was a good night...no, a GREAT night!!

Lets just say that this night was one of my favorite nights ever. I don't think people really quite realize what a HUGE jazz fan I am. But I am. Huge, I mean. I mean, A Huge Fan of the Jazz!!!!!:0)

It was our last jazz game from the tickets kaleb got us from christmas. We decided that we were going to get there early to try and get autographs from the players. We got there at a quarter to 5, but they didn't even open the doors til 530. So we went to Fanzz to buy a basketball just in case we got lucky enough to get an autograph. At 530 we get through the doors and head strait to the seats by the hall where the jazz players come out onto the floor. There was a lot of people there, but we were determined. Some of the players were already on the floor shooting, then Memet Okur comes out, and Kaleb holds out our basketball and he takes it and signs it!! SCORE!!! I was so happy, I was beaming! But we kept waiting, and we got Jerry Sloans, Ronnie Brewer, Wes Matthews, Kosta Kufas, Kyrylo Fesenko, and Thurl Baileys autographs on our basketball! It was my dream come true, except for one person. Two of the bodyguards were being so helpful in helping us get autographs, I just sat there smiling, so thrilled! The bodyguard told us Deron Williams had already come out and gone back in so we werent going to see him. My one dissapoinment, but thats ok. But a few minutes later, the bodyguard handed tage a water bottle with Derons autograph on it!!! He told us that earlier he had been joking around with Kyle Korver and signed the water bottle and gave it to him. So the bodyguards were holding onto it and decided to give it to Tage!!! The only thing better would be if we could had gotten the signature strait from D-will, but I am not complaining!!!! Then one of the bodyguards waved us over and said we could hurry and get our families picture taken on the floor! Could it get any better than this? No. It really was the best of nights ever!

We go up to our seats and of course the Jazz are playing awesome. But, our exciting night wasn't over yet. Kaleb knows a guy who helps with the Jazz Bears stunts, and he told kaleb where to bring the kids to meet the jazz bear. So at the end of the 3rd quarter, kaleb took the kids and they got to go meet the jazz bear and get a picture!!! And that sneaky kaleb, he got a picture with some of the Jazz Dancers, he was in big trouble for that one!!!

The Jazz won, which makes this night even better, and then we went down to the lower bowl and got on TV while they interviewed Andre Kirilenko! I was on TV!!!!

Only one thing can ever beat this night, and that is when me and kaleb get to sit on the floor!!!!
