The day has arrived!

Can you feel it in the air. Yes, it's here. One of the greatest, most exhilarating days of the whole year. The day many Utahn's have been craving for months. A moment of excitement, thrill, emotion and passion. That moment will arrive at 7:00pm mt. The blow of the whistle and the screeching sound of basketball shoes and the tip of a finger. Our Utah Jazz are here. I had to give a shout out to our Jazz, not only for myself, but for my husband.
Nathan made me promise not to schedule anything tonight so we could watch the game on our newly purchased TVO. (Yes, the only reason we have it is to watch jazz games.) Last Nathan was quietly watching another NBA game when he commented to me "I love basketball!" Yes he loves basketball, but most of all the Utah Jazz.
While we are excited for this day, there are some things we will miss as the season aproaches. No one cares for the Jazz here like we do and our hearts turn to family. No more attending games and irritating the officials. We can't watch the game with mom Morris and listen to her scream at the TV. No more delicious bread pudding at the Lexus club. No more non-stop talk about the Jazz at the dinner table from all the brothers. No more listening in on the player gossip from Dad Rigby. These things and much more leave us a bit gloomy.
Though a slight bit of gloom may hang over us this day, it will not overpower our love of the Utah Jazz. We give our shout outs to Boozer, Williams, Okur, Andre, Korver, Brewer, Millsap and the rest of the crew. May this day be the beginning of an exciting and eventful season.
