Tashena and I have been trying to get together for a Jazz game since January but with one thing or another we couldn't find a time that worked for both of us (she is so busy). Since the regular season is ending soon (the Jazz have clinched a spot in the playoffs) I decided that I better get my act together and make it happen. We went to the game last night and watched the Jazz play the Washington Wizards. We always get to the arena early so that I can buy Tashena a shirt (this is tradition) and so we can get something to eat. Because of the remodel of the Vivint arena there are so many great choices for dinner but I am partial to Hires (even though it is so expensive). When the game started I mentioned to Tashena that I hoped the Jazz would win. She answered, "Umm. They're playing the Wizards!" Apparently the Wizards don't have a very good record but they definitely gave the Jazz a run for their money and took the game to the final seconds which was a bit tense. Tashena really likes Donovan Mitchell (whom she refers to as her husband) and he got an amazing breakaway to dramatically dunk the ball. About halfway down the court he looked to see if anyone was close to him and got the biggest grin on his face when he saw that there wasn't! Mitchell ended the night with 35 points to lead the Jazz to a 128-124 victory. It was a great game but, honestly, I had such a good time just being with Tashena. I haven't spent much time with her lately and I think we spent more time talking and laughing than we did watching the game. She told me that I was embarrassing her about twenty times (mission accomplished), made fun of me for cheering every time Kyle Korver had the ball, and had me set up a Snapchat account so she could send me funny pictures! It was such a fun night! After the game she told me how glad she was that we were able to go! I feel the same way!
