On Thursday, Joel surprised me with an incredible birthday present. He rescued me from parent-teacher conferences a few hours early and swept me away to the Pepsi Center where we had courtside seats to the Spurs Nuggets game. He told me to lay out a fancy dress and heels so he could pick me up from school. When he arrived wearing his favorite baggy jeans and maroon fleece, I was a bit confused, but all was explained when I got to the car to find my Spurs jersey instead of my dress. We arrived extra early to get pics and autographs and then set beside the Spurs bench for the entire game. Our seats used to be owned by Daniel Graham, Bronco's tight end, and we sat about ten seats down from Brandon Marshall. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we'll never forget it!
Needless to say, my 30th birthday has been the best two month celebration ever! It all started with a girls' weekend to a spa in Arizona with my sis-in-law, Angela. Then on my birthday we had friends over to watch the National Title game, and Joel bought me a fabulous German chocolate cake and iPod. He told me something else was coming, but I had no idea it would courtside seats to my favorite team. This was a fabulous birthday and start to a new year!
