Random Act of Kindness

Last night Matt and I met at Pei Wei after work for dinner. After finishing we both needed to get gas - so we stopped by Costco on our way home. There was a gentleman filling up his car in front of me. While Matt was walking back to his car, the guy asked Matt what we were doing tonight. Matt replied that we didn't have anything going on. The nice guy asked if we wanted to go to the Mavs game. He was on the way to the game with his daughter, but with the cold front that just blew it, he didn't feel it was worth getting her out in this weather. He had two court side tickets and a parking pass. We asked him if we could give him anything....he said just to send him a thank you note. So Matt and I dropped off one of the cars and headed to the American Airlines Center to watch the Mavs court side!

The tickets were amazing! They were right by the tunnel that the Mavs run on and off the court. After the 2nd quarter I got to give all the players a high-five as they left the court. At the end of the game we both got to give every player a high-five as they left. I gave Dirk a high-five and then pat on his sweaty bicep and told him good game! It was a great game....and the MAVS won!

Our new friend also liked Matt's shirt...maybe that helped us out a little :)


JET getting the crowd excited!

The nice guy will never know how much it meant to us...we have been fortunate to attend a few games a year and hadn't been this year yet. I have always wanted to sit court side....who would have thought that some nice guy filling up his car at Costco would give us his tickets!


It goes to show you that there are still people who do random acts of kindness....

Thanksgiving and Football

What a better way to celebrate Turkey day then at the Cowboy's Game! Matt received two tickets from a vendor to the game on Thanksgiving! It was such a great day....had a great Thanksgiving Dinner at my parent's then headed down to the stadium. The stadium is incredible! Below is a picture of us at Half Time...

After the game we went back to my parent's to watch UT beat A&M! What a great day!!!

Happy 60th Anniversary

Last week we celebrated Grandma and Papaw's 60th Wedding Anniversary!
They are such an example for Matt and I....they still have that spark in their eyes!
