Suns Game

On Saturday Trevor and I finally got the opportunity to use our Suns tickets that we got for Christmas. We were so excited to go. Neither one of us has ever been to a professional basketball game. Trevor hasn't ever been to any professional game, period!

We got up that morning and threw all our stuff together and then headed off. We got there several hours early so we went to lunch and went to the mall. After that we headed back to the hotel and just waited until it was time to leave. It seemed like such a long wait, but it really wasn't. We left early because we didn't know how the traffic would be. Trevor thought it would be pretty bad so we left way earlier than I wanted to. We got there an hour and a half too early! It was still probably a good thing though, because there was some sort of motor cross type thing going on at Chase ballpark and there were tons of people everywhere. Parking was so crazy. We got out and checked out was going on. Nascar and motor cross (motocross??) are so not our thing so we didn't look for long...We headed to the game at last. There were pictures of Amare Stoudemire there so we stood to see how we compared. Trevor's hand didn't even come close to his on the basketball. Then we see some Suns dancers and they are handing out free suns picture frames. Anything free is always good. The free frame was not the best part though. I look over at the other entrance and one of the dancers there is Jenni from the bachelor. I am not kidding. Every time they start that show I think how stupid it is and I am never going to watch again. This last bachelor had Jenni in the final two. She is one of my all time favorite bachelorettes ever! She just was so cute and sweet and I thought she was the type of girl that you could totally be friends with. I got all excited and showed Trevor and told him I was going to talk to her. He didn't think I would, but I did. She was everything I thought she would be. She talked to me like we were old friends. She told me that she is now engaged to a guy from Arizona and even showed me her huge ring! I was going to ask her if I could take a picture with her, but I was too nervous. I really thought it was so cool to see her. I could have gone home then and been a happy camper.Although I was happy with my Jenni sighting I really wasn't going to miss the game. We couldn't believe how good our seats were. We were in the 14th row up from behind the Suns bench. It was amazing. We could see everyone so clearly. Because we were early some of the guys were out shooting and we could walk down almost to the floor to take pictures. I couldn't believe it.The game finally started and it was so fun. Steve Nash and Shawn Marion had been out in their previous game, but they started at ours. I was so glad we got to watch them all play. I was a little disappointed that Grant Hill was still out, but it was fun anyway. We were also amazed at how much smaller the court appeared in person than it is on t.v. It was a close game and we stayed behind for a lot of it, but we did finally win. It was so much fun!

If we ever get the chance to go again we definitely will. I would really love to watch when they play a team like San Antonio where it would be super intense and more fast paced. Christmas in January....kinda fun!
