What would you do with a million dollars???

Derric finally has an answer to what he would do if he had a million dollars!! He would buy Lexus Club seats to the Jazz games. We definitley are not named the 'Jones' so we get excited to have opportunities like this! A friend of Derric's from work asked us if we wanted to go with he and his wife to the Jazz game. All he said was that he thought they were really good seats. Well we got there and had to use the same enterance as the players and to go straight down where the locker rooms and meeting rooms are. We went into the Lexus Club room where we dined on tri-tip, pork loin and salmon, with a hundred fabulous sides. Jerry Sloan miandered through the lounge making small talk with family and friends! We then got to our seat which we had to walk ONTO the court to get to. We were seated right behind the announcers and had a great shot of the players checking in, the stats and the refs doing their stretching. Each seat had a TV so you could watch the jumbo tran, ESPN or the game live. They also each had something to snack on. After each quarter they brought us out some drinks and then at half time we got to go back to the Lexus room for some dessert. The best part was being so close to Kyle Korver! Derric got a little offended when I told him that he couldn't put his arm around me when Kyle was on the court! We also got a good veiw of our friends Adam & Jenn from across the court sitting in the exact same seats only on the other side! Then we ran into an old friend Andrea sitting to our side! We didn't know we had so many friends in high places!Ha Ha Ha! We were watching ESPN when we got into bed that night and laughed as we saw ourselves on TV. I told Derric that will probably be the only time he sees himself on ESPN!


Kyle looking my way after I shouted "Shake what your momma gave ya, Kyle!"

What a fun night out!!! That's crazy that you got to get so close and were treated like royalty! I'm glad you had a blast...maybe if you had a million dollars you'd let me come to the games every once in awhile!! :)

It was so fun to see you across the court! The seats we were in belong to Adam's parents, we get to go to maybe 2 games a year, but it is so much fun being so close! Sounds like you guys had the really upscale dinner though. We got a dinner beforehand, but it was not quite as nice as yours. And I have to agree with you about Kyle Korver! Did you see the contest to have dinner with him? I told Adam I was going to enter.

I still can't believe that I saw you at that Jazz Game in January! The picture with you and Derric, there is an old lady and a young guy to the right of you guys and that is my cousin and his grandma. My dad's cousin married the owner of Nuskin, and they give us tickets in their really great seats every once and a while. Regan and I are lucky enough to go this Monday to the Jazz opener! So excited!! We need to go out with you guys again like the good old days--like the Las Vegas BYU Bball trip! Good times!
