YAY!

Yay! Mandrae found out yesterday that he got the supervisor position at his work and he starts on Monday. So to celebrate we went to the Rig Steakhouse to eat last nite. While we were eating he got a phone call from his best friend from high school and he said that he was on his way to the Dallas Mavericks vs. Boston Celtics game at the American Airlines arena. Mandrae (baby) loves the Boston Celtics and has always want to see them play in person and so we left money on the table for our drinks and took off. The game started at 8:30 and we got there at exactly 8:30. The only problem was we didn’t have any tickets for the game. Well like always we drove around downtown for almost 15 minutes looking for parking. At this point we didn’t care how much it costs we just wanted to park. This was the busiest I had seen downtown Dallas for a Mavericks game. The game was sold out and so I guess a lot of people wanted to see them play too. Anyway we finally found a parking spot for $10 and walked our 3 blocks to the game, hoping there were scalpers selling tickets. We turned the corner and some guy was standing there selling $80 tickets. We only brought $40 with us and that was all we could spend. So we said no way and then he said ok $60 and I told him we don’t have that much. Sorry. So we walked about a block and he came chasing after us and saying I will take $40. So we bought the tickets and found out that they were originally $9 tickets! But it was okay, at least we got in the game! Anyway as we got closer to the arena we saw like 20 scalpers standing there begging people to buy tickets and they were apparently court side. (yeah right) We finally got in the game and we only missed like 2 minutes of it. The game was a great game. The mavericks were up by 15 almost the entire game. Then in the 3rd quarter the Boston Celtics coach was thrown out and Kevin Garnett fouled out and had to sit and then the Mavericks started to do really bad. Long story short they LOST! It was very discouraging. The mavericks had it all set up for them to win. It was harder to lose than to win that game with the advantage they had! O well. So the game ended at midnight. We walked the 3 blocks back to our car and I was still in my dress from work and my heals since we didn’t get a chance to go home and change and I have blisters all over my feet from walking in those heals all that way. It was horrible. Once we got back to our car it took us 30 minutes just to get outta the parking lot! It was the worst. We were only centimeters next to psycho drivers that were flipping people off and running them over to get out of the parking lot and we still had a long way home and so Mandrae played right along to get first outta the parking lot but in order to not get hit or shot we had to give in some too. J So yeah anyway it was good evening at the game, even though we didn’t get home and to bed til around 1:30 a.m. I am paying for it today but we had fun. And don’t forget the exciting news- Mandrae got a supervisor position!!! YAY!
