Best Surprise Ever!!

When I asked Alan on Thursday what our plans for Saturday were, and he said,"I've gotten it all taken care of" and I knew it was something good. I guessed it was...

#1- Hunger Games (Since I have been talking about that movie for MONTHS now)

OR

#2- City Creek (Since it opened on Thursday and we are both pumped for it.)

However, when I guessed both of these, he remained tight lipped as we started to drive to our destination. As we were chatting, we passed a huge billboard for the REAL Salt Lake Soccer Team. You may not know this but I LOVE soccer!! Probably because it is the only sport I understand and find any enjoyment watching, but I have been telling Alan since we met that we should go to a game just to hear, "Yes dear" or "Someday dear" but as we passed this billboard I said, "It would be so fun to go to a game this summer!" to which he replied, "Yeah it really would!" That was that and we continued driving. Traffic then started to get bad and Al said, "Surprise! We are going to Jordan Commons!" I knew it! I KNEW we were going to see The Hungers Games and he just smiled at me while I stated the traffic was crazy because there was indeed a REAL game starting soon. So we get off the exit amidst the REAL fan traffic and Alan starts to look for parking, when he sees a sign that says, "Park here $10" and I am in my own little world thinking "We just need to hustle to the movie so he is paying for parking-which he NEVER does!" As we pull in a man in a REAL jersey starts walking towards us and Al rolls his window down and the man says, "Are you guys going to the game?" to which Al says, "Yeah!" and I am thinking, "Wow he just really wants to park close to the theatre!" Then!!! The man asks Alan if we have tickets and Alan says, "Oh yeah totally," pulls out his wallet, and shows the man 2 tickets for the REAL game. That is when I just stare and say, "WHAT?!" and the man parking our car says, "Oh man did I just ruin it for you bro?!" and Alan kisses me on the forehead and says "SURPRISE!!" 

RIO TINTO STADIUM!! I was in SHOCK!! I wanted to laugh, cry, scream, jump up and down... but I just stared as we walked into the stadium as Alan told me that he won the tickets in a game of PLINKO at work!! Our seats were in the CLEARLINK box, where we sat with the owner of the company and had unlimited food, drinks, and snacks at our fingertips. The seats were awesome!! The game was awesome... even though they lost at the last second... and the most awesome thing was that I have such a sweet husband who know exactly how to surprise me!!
