Bring The Noise!!!

Because of my wonderful brother who gave us tickets, Nate, Rob, and I were able to go to a Jazz game in December.  A few weeks before the game I happened to meet Deron Williams (D-Will) pastor while at work.  He came in a few times and we got to talking.  I mentioned how D-Will is Nate's favorite player.  One thing led to another and he invited us to the shoot-around before the game.  This ended up being part of Nate's Christmas gift from me.  He got to sit on the Jazz bench and watch some players warm up.  He also got to meet them and get autographs including D-Will, Raja Bell, Coach Sloan, former Jazz player Jeff Hornacek, Al Jefferson, Jeremy Evans, Mehmet Okur, Gordon Hayward, and Ron Boone the Jazz announcer.  Nate just loved it.  It was so cool.  They even gave us a new basketball with the new colors.  Rob was really good during it too and just stayed with me on the 3rd row.  Then of course we went to our seats and watched the game.  They won, YAY!  Rob thought it was all so exciting.  He really got into the game and was yelling "Go Jazz Go" and "Defense" like all the people around us.  It's funny because every time a commercial comes on the TV for the Jazz he tells us he needs to go there again.  Luckily, because of that wonderful brother of mine again, we are going to take him to one in Feb.  We feel very blessed and lucky that we had the opportunity to be at the shoot around and meet some players.   Needless to say, we Love the Jazz.
