Tonight Justin and I met up with some of our friends in the ward who are big Utah Jazz fans like us and went to the Jazz vs. Timberwolves game. We were all cheering for the Jazz even though we live in Minnesota, Jeff even had his Jazz Jersey on. There were a lot more Jazz fans there than I thought there would be. We had GREAT lower bowl seats. It was the closest I have ever sat at an NBA game! You could actually hear the players talking, it sure beats the nose bleeds at the Delta Center. The game was awesome and the Jazz pulled through with a win in the end. All in all it was a great night........... But wait, there is more!
As we were leaving to walk to the bus stop (yay for public transportation) we had to walk around the back of the Target Center (where the Timberwolves play) and we saw this big bus with some security and we were like, "Do you think that is the Jazz bus?" We decided to wait for a second and see if anyone came out and sure enough out came Mehmut Okur. He stopped and took a picture with us. We were soooo excited and we decided to wait to see who else came out. It was just Jeff, Jessica, Myself and Justin, a family that just moved from Utah with their 4 kids, and these 3 guys who you could tell were just looking for autographs to sell on ebay. One by one sure enough we got to see and take pictures with everyone from the Jazz, with the exception of Carlos Boozer. After a while we just got too cold to wait around any longer. It was seriously the most awesome night ever! This was a one in a million chance, and living in Utah we never would have got to have this experience. It pays to be a Jazz fan in Minnesota eh?
Behold........ The Glorious Pictures!
The View From Our Seats!
The creepy mascot "Crunch" who does not wear pants. What is up with that?

Jess, Andrei Kirilenko and me. Her husband Jeff went on a mission to Russia and they exchanged some words in Russian. It was pretty funny.

And last but certainly NOT least! Ladies feast your eyes on this!
Yes that is me and the sharply dressed Kyle Korver!
We didn't take pictures of everyone we saw, although I was tempted to snap a pic with Craig Bolerjack and Ron Boone!
We had the best night ever! It was once in a lifetime and a night we wont soon forget! We sure love the Jazz and we miss being able to watch them play EVERY game. I don't think we missed more then 1 or 2 games last season. It was fun to see them play live out here in the frozen tundra of Minnesota.
The number one comment by almost every one tonight, "Man it is cold here!"
Yes Jazz players, yes it is!
Oh and 5 extra points to those of you that got the "Friends" reference in my title.

We are SO jealous! That is Trent's dream come true! We went to the jazz vs. suns game and lost by two in the last minute of the 4th quarter.
Lucky!
Wow! Lower bowl seats, photos with the Jazz players (what's up with the beanie, Andrei? Sheesh!!), AND freezing your tushies off all in the same night!
