Warning...This may be the longest blog post ever.

But I can't help it. This was a pretty big deal in our lives that revolve around the Utah Jazz. Some of you know that back in the summer we bid on "Night with Kyle Korver" at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Amy got me all pumped up over the phone only to call back and tell me the bidding started at $5000. Needless to say, we had to pull out some serious stops to make this happen. Well we won. All of a sudden we felt like we were on the Brady Bunch and needed to come up with the money. If you watched the Brady Bunch religiously you know that they entered a talent contest to win some sweet moula so the house of cards wouldn't come crumbling down. After several phone calls and some begging and pleading, we made it happen. We had him over  to our house for some dinner, ping pong and story telling. We had so much fun chatting with him, Laker-Hating, eating, asking lots of questions about the Jazz and just being. He is so down to earth and is such a little sweetie pie. He volunteers and helps out the community in lots of ways. Bless his little heart. Thanks for making our lives complete...
Kyle and Grandma Kate.

I may have to return to this post tonight... when I'm alone... in my bedroom... KIDDING!

Seriously, he's drop dead gorgeous. That smile, that hair, that body, that THAT! I am beyond envious, and I am so happy you all got to fulfill such a dream. Love his retro outfit too. Did you catch his watch?

When I saw this guy in the upper right corner I thought "What is Paige doing with Ashton Kutcher?" Turns out I need to put my contacts back in. But, congratulations on meeting this guy... whoever he is!

Nellie said...

Very cool post, Paige! He was the lucky one, though, I think!

Happy New Year! XO

I can not support this selling of oneself for fame and fortune! Tell Kyle to get a job and support you in the fashion you have become accustomed to!!! Does he like younger women? Georgia might one day like him. You know how girls tend to plck gyes like their daddy. Looks like it was fun. We actually have a 36x48 of Kyle and Georgia in our foyer. Later--- Karyn

Please tell me you slept with him. Otherwise, I will be deeply disappointed.
