Miami Heat

So Jimmie and I had the opportunity to go to the Miami Heat vs. Utah Jazz game on Friday!  It was SO much fun, I can't even begin to describe it.  Of course it would have been loads better had we actually won, but somehow the Jazz won.  I have officially become a Heat fan :)  It was pretty funny to have the people next to us ask us, "So do you guys live in Miami?" ...Nope. We live in Provo.  "Oh, are you guys from Florida?"  ...Nope.  We're from New Jersey.   <Blank stares>  "Oh, okay then".

Okay, sorry about the silly face, but here is Jimmie's lovely LeBron James jersey.
I also, like Steph with Marc's Jeeps, came to appreciate Jimmie's level of LeBron love compared to others.  There were  a lot of Heat fans there and we were second in line.
The man in front of us was wearing a super expensive jersey that was upwards of $250, was wearing a pair of way expensive LeBrons (shoes) AND had another one in his hand that he was going to run over to where they come in and try to get LeBron to sign them.  Crazy.  We just went to our seats :)

 I got to wear Jimmie's LeBron t-shirt which I was happy about :)  Oh and yes, you might notice Jimmie got a haircut.  We both got haircuts like 2 weeks ago, and both cut off about 4 inches.
Just kidding-I cut off four inches, but it seemed like Jimmie's hair was so long, it had to have been like 1 or 2!

Here's where we actually sat, it was pretty high up, but they were cheap so I can't complain.  I think next time we go, we'll sit a little closer, but it wasn't a bad view.

The guy right on the Z is LeBron...we just thought the stretches looked really funny :)
He did get boo-ed when he walked in, but we cheered real loud!

I think this is supposed to be when LeBron was doing his famous powder toss, which is what was pictured on the back of my shirt... but you can't really see it at all.

And here's a shot from the game.

Maybe the loss would not have been as disappointing if we hadn't just expected to completely kill them.  The whole time I just kept saying... "We're losing....to the JAZZ!"  Chris Bosh, one of the big 3, wasn't there to play because his grandmother had just passed away.  It kind of threw everything off balance and it just wasn't happening for us.  The game last night though, the first game he was back, they won by 30 points.  Who'da thought Chris Bosh could make such a big difference.  We played awful in the beginning and in the end of third/fourth quarter we made a KILLER comeback and took the lead for the first time in the fourth quarter.  It was so dang close and came down to the last shot missing in the last seconds of the game.  Regardless of the outcome--we had a blast!

On the way to the game, we stopped at Jimmie's work and I got a tour of the building.
We went passed John's office...but I didn't get to meet/see him because he wasn't there.
For you Kid History fans, this is Jimmie's boss.  
Haha, and what an excellent picture this is.
He's Jimmie's direct boss now because Jimmie got promoted :) We're excited about that and he's still loving it!

After stopping at Myler Disability, we got some dinner at a place his co-worker suggested called Moochies because she said it was WAY good and the best Philly Cheese steak place around.

Apparently, it's famous.  It's got that one guy who does that one show about good food...what's it called?


Okay, it was pretty good.  They didn't have a lot of meat, and the cheese was different, but they tasted good. Nothin' on Nixon's though.  But! They had Tastycakes and I was happy :) I would go back for sure.

I think drinking bottled root beer is really cool, so Jimmie took a picture :)

Anyway, that's our all for our adventurous Friday! Was one of the greatest dates ever--I'm glad we chose to do it for a late Valentines :)

  1. Looks like a great time. I am convinced that, try as they might, you just can't do better than Nixon's cheese steaks. :)

  2. Looks like you guys had a blast. Based on the number of open seats in that picture, I'm guessing you could have moved a little closer. :) And I'm amazed they had tastykakes too. Where is this place?

  3. Oh haha no it filled up pretty well! Jimmie wanted to get there as soon as the doors open so this was about an hour before the game even started. We didn't get to move any closer unfortunately. Moochies is in SLC less than 5 minutes away from Energy Solutions Arena where the game was
