Jazz Game

A couple of weeks ago I was shopping at Macey's and as I was leaving I was asked to enter a drawing for some Jazz tickets. It was sponsered by our cable company and since we already had cable I was able to enter. I filled out the little paper and didn't think about it again. That night I got a call that I had won the tickets, I was very suprised and Justin and I were excited to have a date night. The next day, Noah got sick so I didn't even remember we had won the tickets. The night of the game was the same night Noah got out of the hospital, so I didn't even consider going. But then, the cable company called and asked if they could interview us after the game for the local cable channel. I didn't feel like explaining everything that had happend with Noah, and I didn't want to seem ungrateful for the tickets, so I agreed. So very reluctantly, I left Noah with my parents, he was doing a lot better by then. The tickets ended up being a bigger deal than we thought. They included parking right across from the arena, dinner before, snacks and drinks throughout the game and dessert during half time. They were also right behind the commentators, center court. It was amazing. After I called my parents and they told me Noah was doing great, I relaxed a little. It was so fun to be so close to the players and all the action. While we were there we ran into a woman that worked with my Dad that also works at the arena. She told us the seats we had were the most expensive of all the tickets and they sell for $1000-1500 a piece!! Wow we had no idea. Anyway, it was a lot of fun and Justin took a ton of pictures. I wish it had been a different date so I could have not worried so much about Noah the whole time, but it was fun. Here are some of the pics!
