Life Lately

Life has been so crazy lately. I feel like we are in a movie that's playing in fast forward. Moments are passing by so quickly, we can barely keep up with everything. With us both working and going to school, I feel like there are days where we barley even see each other. All I can say is I am literally counting the days when we are both done with our finals and can at least eat dinner together.  Here's our week at a glimpse...

Monday: The Duffys had 2 extra tickets to the Jazz game. It was the last game of the season against the Lakers, plus the seats were on row 17.... how could you pass up an offer like that?! Although the Jazz lost, we still had a blast! I caught a little basketball and we saw Phil from Modern Family. They showed him on the big screen, so we were determined to find him in the arena. After 10 minutes of playing "Where's Phil", Melissa spotted him. Our life was complete. After the game, we ate at one of our favorite pizza restaurants, The Pie. Of course, it was delicious. 

                                   Do you see him?

Tuesday: Since I'm now in young women's, I get to attend the weekly activity each week. This week we went to the Timpanogos Temple and did baptisms for the dead. Afterwards we had pizza (third time this week!) at a park. It's so fun getting to know the girls. We have such an amazing ward. 

Wednesday: We got a bulldog!!! Her name is Lucy and she is from Columbia. She is the sweetest dog you'll ever meet. Bruno loves her, which is a good thing, because they are eventually going to have puppies together :) She is the same size as Bruno (about 11 inches tall) and they are already best buds. It's really cute!

Thursday: Chad got my bike up and running, so naturally, we had to test it out. We went on a little bike ride around the neighborhood. To say I love it would be an understatement. I am obsessed with it! It is an awesome bike that will last a long time. 

Thursday: Chads work has an intermural softball team that he plays on each week. They played two games, back-to-back. It was a chilly night on the field, but it was fun cheering their team on!

It's been a great week, but I can't explain how excited I am for the weekend. Let the Easter festivities begin!

Jazz vs. Raptors

Right after work, Chad decided it would be fun to head up to the Jazz game in SLC. Since it was a spur the moment thing, we were rushing to get ready. Chad reached into a drawer and his razor sliced a chunk of skin off. I feel like we always get hurt when we are in a hurry. Does this ever happen to anyone else?! 

With blood gushing everywhere, wads of tissue on his finger, and dozens of bandaids, we jumped in the car and made our way to the Energy Solutions Arena.

It has been approximately 11 weeks since we have been to a Jazz game (I know that thanks to my Instagram), so it felt good to be back in our stomping grounds. We love Jazz games. We used to go all the time, I guess you could say we are slowing down with age. I mean, Chad turns 27 this month! Crazy!

It was a great night with the Mr. I always love our spontaneous date nights.

Jazz vs. Warriors

Chad grew up in California, so he grew up watching the Warriors basketball team. To this day, he still loves them. He knows every player, their statistics and the pros and cons of each player. Once he found out they were playing the Jazz, he decided to score some awesome tickets. 

We love going to Jazz games and we love sitting close, but we hate paying the retail price. Chad always knows how to get them for cheap. The cheapest tickets we could find were $150 each on row 4, center court. We never pay this much, but since it's Chad's favorite team, we couldn't pass them up.

Tonight was the big game. We anxiously waited in the "will call" line at the Energy Solutions Arena as the clerk searched for our tickets. Minutes later, we found out that we never purchased tickets... Our transaction was never completed online.... Bummer! 

We both whispered some words of anger under our breath as we exited the building. As we were walking back to our car, we found some scalpers on the street that sold us tickets for $35 each on row 17. Our attitudes quickly changed as we realized it was probably a blessing the transaction didn't go through. We saved over $200! Who needs seats on row 4 anyways?! 

Jazz didn't play that great... At least we had ice cream. Ice cream makes everything better. 'Twas a great night with the Mr.

Warriors vs. Jazz

Last night was the Utah Jazz's first pre-season game against the Warriors. We left right after work and got up to SLC right as the game was starting. Chad scored some awesome tickets on row 21 court side. We stocked up on pizza, fries, dippin' dots and chicken tenders; we are suckers for food when it comes to sporting events. Chad was rooting for the Warriors, and I was for the Jazz. Luckily, the Jazz pulled through. I always knew they were better then the Warriors :) It was such a great night!
