Jace's Christmas Present

For Christmas this year I got Jace tickets to see the Utah Jazz play the Cleveland Cavaliers and the game was this past weekend. We traveled up north on Friday and stayed at a hotel in Provo. On Friday night we tried to go eat dinner at PF Changs but we got there around 5:30 and they already had a 2 hour wait so we said NO WAY and ended up eating at a barbeque place called GoodWood and I ordered a steak and can I just say it was probably the best steak I have ever had! It was amazing! After dinner we attended the BYU Men's Volleyball game and then went to see the movie the Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which is indeed a very curious movie. A funny thing happened while waiting for our movie. We were sitting at a table in the lobby sharing some ice cream and a guy and a girl walked by and Jace hit my arm and said hey isn't that your cousin? So I took a better look and low and behold it was my cousin David and his fiance! It was so random running into them but it was great to see him and to finally meet his fiance Natalie! They looked great and she is a very cute girl! We are very excited for them and can't wait to attend their wedding in May! Anyways, back to the trip, on Saturday we woke up and had breakfast at IHop and then, much to Jace's dismay, we did a little shopping. After shopping Jace took a brief nap back at the hotel then we headed off to Salt Lake. We got to the Jazz game about an hour early so we could watch some of the warm up and to make sure we didn't miss tip off. Jace wore the Williams jersey that we have and we bought a new Kyle Korver jersey for me. I was excited to have my own Korver jersey because he is my favorite player! Anyways, the game was amazing! Even though the Jazz ended up losing, it was sooo much fun! Our seats were great! Although we were up in the upper bowl we had front row seats and we had a great view! Oh yeah and during one of the time outs, WE MADE IT ON THE JUMBO TRON! It was awesome! It was the first time that has ever happened and I was quite excited! Jace was looking down when it came on so he almost missed it. After the game we went back to our hotel and ordered pizza. We woke up Sunday morning and made our way back to St. George. I must say, I was glad to get back home to St. George, out of the ugly inversion. Overall it was a very fun trip and can't wait to go to another game!
