The Carpenters: Jazz Game!!!!

We had the opportunity to go to the Jazz vs Golden state game yesterday with Danica and Derek. Danica's little sister's dance group was dancing before the game and we got a good deal on seats. We got there at 5:30 and were able to watch the players warm up. Then we got to sit court side and watch them dance. While we were waiting we walked over behind the basket and Ronnie Brewer was signing autographs. We had bought jerseys before the game and Josh had his. So he took it off and was waving it around and Brewer saw him and was like "hey, do you want me to sign that?" so josh tossed it to him and he signed it on the number! There were so many people and we weren't really close so we didn't think we would get it but we did! What a nice guy! so then after the girls danced, they met 2 of the Jazz dancers and then we were all walking to the elevator to go up to the nosebleed section and someone said "Hey look its president Monson!" So we all turned and ran back and low and behold there he was in the flesh close enough to touch! Josh said "President Monson, We are graduating from SUU this month!" and he said in his usual manner "Oh I'm going to be down there" and Josh patted him on the back and I said "we will see you there!" hahah I was in shock and couldn't come up with anything better to say. Everyone got off the elevator to talk to him and then when he got in no one got back on we were all just too astonished. It was pretty amazing I can't even describe how cool it was. SO then the jazz lost and were totally disappointing and just walked off the court with 10 seconds left! what losers! But after the game we were waiting for Shannon to find her shoes and we saw Thurl Bailey and Pace Manning doin the post game show. The producer told josh and derek and a bunch of other people to go in and they got to be on TV! Josh was all decked out with his jersey and head band and stuff. He was the loudest one! So then we were just hangin around watchin them and during the commercial break Thurl waved us over and we got to shake his massive hand! I was so retarded I just had this cheesy grin on my face and shook his hand but couldn't say a word! Derek found out he was related to Pace. so they were all talking sports and family and what not! it was unbelieveable. Then when we were walking back to the hotel, Matt Harpring came flyin around the corner and almost hit us in the cross walk! and as we started walking another Jazz player pulled out and gave us 2 beeps! Josh swears it was Ronnie Brewer so we will just say it was. It was pretty much the most amazing day ever! We had such a great time!

Here are some pictures, not really in order but bare with me here... it's taken 3 days to post this haha
