When Josh bought Sounders season tickets last year, one of the only things I wanted to make sure happened was that I got to see David Beckham play! Our first game against LA Galaxy was on Mother's Day and Zane had just gotten out of the hospital w/horrible pneumonia so I had to miss the game...but turns out Beckham wasn't there anyway! Our 2nd game against them was in LA, so obviously didn't get to see him (in person). Well, yesterday, I got my wish!! Sadly the Sounders didn't make it to the MLS Cup, but the Galaxy did and we were there! Yes, ladies, he is just as hot in person as he is on tv!! It was a great game, but we had to leave early...well not early, but just as OT was starting. Just for documentation purposes, Real Salt Lake won the game 2-1 after the game went into penalty kicks.

WOW, I'd like to introduce you to my double chin...ugh.

Beckham...

And one more of Beckham!

Josh and I dashed from Qwest Field over to The Paramount to see
The Swell Season, FANTASTIC show! If you have not heard this band play/sing, then you really need to! I became hooked on them when I first watched the movie Once and we tried to go to their concert last year, but it sold out too fast...this year, I made sure I had a pre-sale code to get tickets and I'm glad I did! One thing I learned though...apparently people get dressed up to go to a concert at The Paramount...we were a little under-dressed in our jeans and Sounders gear, haha! I didn't feel so bad when I noticed the girl next to me in jeans and a Rat City Roller Derby t-shirt on...I guess they put all of us slobs in the same row!!! I tried to take pictures at the concert, but none of them turned out, so you'll just have to believe me that we were there and it was a great show!
Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Alexander for watching Zaner for the night so we could enjoy our night out!!
