Such a fun night. . .

So my sister texted me on a Thursday night and said, I just got offered great seats to Jazz game tomorrow night want to double and go on a date??  OF COURSE I do, I have wanted to go to a Jazz game for so long.  So, thank goodness Brandje and Shawn could watch the boys so we could go have a date night.  

We headed down to Salt Lake.  I was so excited all day!!  We got down to the game and when we picked up our tickets we also received a 25 dollar gift card for food. So nice, right??  Well, after we sat down I receive a text. . . "President Monson is in the house, in the suite right above you and to your left"  I immediately freaked out. I was so close to the prophet. . . I had to meet him.  I immediately text back. . . "I have to meet him" another text, "please, take me to the prophet", another text "PLEASE make that happen for me"  I got a text back, "I can't take you to the prophet, but I can deliver him a note from you, make sure you put your name and address on it as well."  I was shaking I was so excited, I was about to write the prophet a love note.  Where do you even begin telling this man how much you love and appreciate him and the gospel??  Krystal and I began writing our love notes to the prophet.  I returned the text, "done, they are ready for you to deliver them"  

While we were waiting for the notes to be picked up we ran out to get some food with our 25 gift card.  We ran into the man that was coming to pick up the tickets, he stayed with us while we ordered food and got us another 50% off food, WHAT, this night is getting better and better!!  So I kept on begging to meet the prophet.  He kept telling me that he couldn't do that.  He took us over and got us free drinks and then he said, I can't get you in to see the prophet, but I can give you these passes.  They were VIP passes to meet the players after the game. I FREAKED OUT!!  I was going to meed NBA players, this is AWESOME!!  So we headed back to our seats with tons of food and sodas in our arms and our VIP passes.  I was so excited to tell Zac.       

After the game was over we headed down the portal to the players tunnel.  I was freaking out, this was so awesome!!  When we got down with the 30 people that were there to meet the players everyone was so quiet and acted like it was no big deal. . . THIS IS A BIG DEAL, Krystal and I were so excited and we didn't care if everyone was quiet or not, we were happy and we weren't going to hide it.  

So we had to stand there for a few minutes while the players were showering and changing and then the first player came out.  He was going down the line signing his name when all the sudden Krystal says, Oh . . . I want his autograph.  I turned around and this man looked familiar but I didn't know why.  All the sudden I just ask, hey can she get your autograph.  He looked up and went bright red.  "Sure, I wasn't expecting that, but I can do that"  So he signs her paper and then she says, I am sorry can I get a picture with you as well.  Yeah, come to find out it was channel 13 weather man.  She is such a dork, but that really was the highlight of her night.  It was AWESOME!!  

I had such a great night.  It was so nice to go out and laugh and talk with Krystal like old times.  I haven't laughed like that in a long time, it felt good.  It was definitely a night I will always remember.
