Fun Night


Kelley and I were able to go to the Jazz game last night...many thanks to Kim and Mark for inviting us!

Mark has a brother who is a big shot lawyer and has season tickets but instead of going to this game, he and his wife jetted off in their personal plane to watch the BYU game instead. Ha! how would it be? Can't really imagine.

Anyway, we were tickled to get to go.

I called Candice ..."Do you think you could come over and hang out with Grandma ?"

"Sure! Sounds like fun!"

Isn't she wonderful?

So she came over after work and stayed the night with grandma. Sounds like they had a fun night of Jeopardy and Funniest videos. She made her dinner and made sure she took her pills. She got her ready for bed (had little incident getting her from bathroom to her bedroom because of slippery socks... her feet start going different directions and there's no stopping her. Candice said they both just slowly went down to the floor...laughing all the way.) I can just picture it cause it happened to me the other day when I hadn't got her slippers on her. Luckily, I just guided her back to the toilet seat as she did the splits and she didn't go all the way to the ground. (it's really hard to get her up from the floor!)

But Candice said she just got behind her and picked her up and put her in the wheel chair. Candice you are awesome!

Can't tell you what it means to me that she is always so willing to help with grandma...and with a great attitude!

Anyway, I knew grandma was in good hands so I was able to relax and enjoy a night out.

Mark had told us that he had VIP tickets but I had not idea how VIPY they were! We went in a different entrance that I have never seen before and after showing them our tickets were escorted into a lovely dining room (round tables with roses on them) and a delicious buffet.

Then we went up to our seats...row 3? really? It was fun to be able to see and hear everything so up-close. Really a different experience!

Unfortunately, the other team got an incredible shot off with 1 second to go and tied the game that we thought the Jazz had won. That sent it into overtime. Things kind of went south from there. The Jazz gave it their all but they just really don't have any great players to help them pull it off anymore.

It was a exciting game to watch though and a fun night out with my sweetie and good friends.
