From VIP to seeing MVP




Ok so I guess having a new BF allows for a LITTLE time for me to PARTAY- I mean, how else will I see him? Invite him over while I study?

We went to the Clippers v Jazz game last night at the Staples center -(Spence got free tix from work!) It was SO cool! We headed over with two hilarious girls from our ward who I also love hanging out with. Jord and Beej and Rico and Dad would have been proud to see me going to see a game. We all had the time of our lives. Spencer was such a gentleman as usual, and when we arrived we walked into the VIP section where we saw a few other friends we knew, and waved across the way to some other friends in their box seats. What an event! It was awesome to sit so close, have someone take our orders to bring dinner food, and sit back and see the game together. There were some pretty exciting moves and attempted moves by the professional athletes so I remembered how much I love watching sports when it's real life LIVE. You can see the whole court, take in the mood of the event, enjoy the good company, and even watch exciting, creative halftime shows. (This is LA after all.)

As if the events of the first 3 quarters weren't enough, in the 4th quarter our friend who came with us (she had met up with her Dad who was seated on the front row, courtside,) came to see us and share the wealth of her front row seat. She told us we had to go check it out so we took the stub and headed down and closer to the game. We found the entrance and made our way to where her Dad was sitting -It was AMAZING!!! The security lady let Spencer and I both go down and we saw Memo and D-Will and Sloan the coach just a few feet away!! We could see the sweat on the faces of the players, we could see each of their expressions, we saw the interactions at time-out, we could see the computer screens of the media guru's. IT WAS AMAZING!!! What an unexpectedly exciting, very fun night!! Sure beats lesson planning or grading!

Linds - all it took was a bit of drama and front row seats to make you a Basketball fan!. Guess that's your theater training kicking in :) Way to go!i
