Jazz close out the Warriors in game 5...

A game before I predicted. I'll take it! Jazz showed a lot of maturity and growth in these series with the Rockets and then the Warriors. The Jazz haven't been to the conference-finals since 1997-1998 when they went to the finals. GO JAZZ! And go Suns! I want the Jazz to play the Suns in the Conference Finals.

So the last few days have been great. We shipped out new software on Thursday of last week and they took the engineering staff out to see Spider-Man 3 at the Jordan Commons. They gave everyone a ticket and a giftcard for food and drinks. Since Angela and I had already seen it I gave my ticket to a friend so he could see it with his wife. As Angela and I were walking out the VP of Engineering stopped us and I introduced Angela to him and said that I gave my ticket to a co-worker so his wife and him could see it. Next thing I know he is handing Angela a ticket and gift card and myself another ticket and said to enjoy the show. He also told Angela that they really enjoy having me work there. So it was a nice surprise. Yeah, Angela and I had already seen it but a free ticket and tons of junk food on an early Friday afternoon? C'mon, it was awesome. After the movie Angela and I came home and "relaxed" he he he for a bit and then headed out for dinner. At first we were looking for a place to watch the Jazz game 3 but all the sports bars were full. So we headed over to Market Street Grill which was really good. Plus we got to watch the Jazz game. Angela get's 50% off on dinner for two there so we got a $100.00 meal for $50.00. It was great! We enjoyed the food, the game (even though the Jazz got blown out) and mainly enjoyed each others company. Angela was originally going to work a double that day so I'm very happy she didn't. The next day we got to sleep in and spend a nice afternoon together where I got to sneak away for a bit and go get Angela some Mothers Day things. Nothing special but enough to make Angela feel special. I got her a nice card, some yummy chocolates, some tulips (she loves them), a nice smelling Melon candle and some picture frames in which I went to the Walmart and printed out some pictures of her daughter and her and put them in the frames. She loved it and was really happy. The best part of my Mothers Day gift came on Monday at 6:00PM when she got to go get an hour-long deep tissue massage which she has been really wanting and so desperately needed. All-in-all we had a wonderful weekend and spent a ton of quality time together. Combine that with a Jazz win @ Golden State and favorable results Friday morning at you-know-where you could say the weekend was, dare I say... PERFECT? About as close as it can get.

Anyways, for some reason I am feeling extremely exhausted. Must have been all the pacing around and nervousness from the Jazz game. I'm trying to stay awake until Angela gets home but I'm not sure I'll be able to. My eyes are half closed.

Anyways (again),

ANGELA I LOVE YOU & GO UTAH JAZZ!!!
