Taking a break :)

So, I thought I'd take a quick study break and tell you about my study break from last night!! As some of you may know, I am the FHE mother for my group. I LOVE this calling. My little family is the best and my husband is even better. Anyway, last night we went to see the Utah Flash (a lower division bball team- I don't really know how it works) take on Dakota (Funny because they never mentioned which Dakota they were from). Someone in our group managed to get 26 tickets for free. There were rumors that Michael Jordan was supposed to be there and play a little one on one with Brian Russell. They had announced the challenge on ESPN, but many of us doubted he would actaully show. At half time they turned out the lights and got everyone hyped up. Spotlights came out and they announced Brian Russell who walks out in a sweatshirt jacket and converse shoes. (we were suspicioius at this point). He comes out and is trash talking MJ saying, "Where are you MJ??? Are you going to show? Is he going to chicken out??" Yeah, that's right everyone he was trash talking a fifty year old basketball legend who crossed him over in that one game (and by that one game I mean the NBA finals game). Then, the lights go out again and they "present" MJ and some black dude walks out surrounded by four body guards. He is wearing jeans and sunglasses. Brian Russell starts laughing and taunting him and then the fake MJ picks up the ball, and turns around to leave. Brian Russell went on about how MJ wasn't gutsy enough to show and leaves himself.

I didn't really think he would come and I guess I was right. About 75% of the crowd left immediately because everyone was so disappointed. They really hyped it up. Our group was really sad but that didn't stop us from enjoying the game! Afterwards we went underground to find the team. We just happened to run into Brian Russell. I put my arm around his waist but couldn't reach the other side. It was a real treat.
