Very First Jazz Game


So in the past 7 days we have done quite a bit!  Last week Elias took me to my very first NBA game in my whole life.  I grew up being a Los Angeles Lakers fan, but once I started dating Elias I told him that the day he takes me to a Utah Jazz game I will switch my loyalty.  And that I did!  The game we went to was total spur of the moment.  Elias found 5 dollar tickets on eBay and that was perfect because we may or may not be the biggest cheap skates on the planet (we also had a free meal at Cafe Rio). 

The game we went to was against the San Antonio Spurs, which I didn't think was a big deal until Elias told me that the Jazz have had a terrible record against the Spurs for years and years.  That definitely made me more excited to see that game!



Here I am just enjoying the game, in seats that weren't ours! I learned from Elias, just walk passed the ushers while you are on your phone and act like you are in the right place and they won't stop you! ha ha.  The game really was great, it was basically a 2 point game the entire time!

Here we are so happy to be at the game!  I asked some hipster girls that were there alone to take this picture ha ha we decided they probably just wanted to go to instagram pictures of them being there!

Okay so this game ended pretty dramatically, there was 2 minutes left in the game, which I have found in basketball takes about 5 times longer than that, Jazz and Spurs were tied 96-99, the clock finally got down to about 40 seconds, Mo Williams had the ball (the whole arena was freaking out because he hadn't sunk anything all night), he held the ball, keeping everyone on the edge of our seats and yelling "shoot!!! shoot!!!" He holds the ball till the very last second, buzzer rings while the ball is in mid air and boom he sinks the 3 point shot, finishing the score at 99-96!  Seriously it was so so crazy! Confetti falling, the whole arena was on their feet, Elias and I were screaming bloody murder, I had tears in my eyes, Elias picked me up and jumped around (I almost fell into the lower bowl) it was incredible.  Such a perfect first game to go to!  :)


Thanks babe!  This will be something I will always remember :)
