Marshall's Valentines Day Surprise!!!!!

Marshall is a HUGE Jazz fan, he just loves them and last year he was super bummed out when he couldnt go the the Jazz vs. Lakers game (because they are rivals). So this year I thought I would be on it. I had to jump through hoops galore to get my hands on tickets but i did it! I have had them since November and I didnt tell Marshall AT ALL. Which is great for me because i am not good at keeping "good secrets". So i told Marshall that i would plan our Valentines Day this year to give him a break, i waited until last week and i told him my friend at work had a great idea so i got us tickets for Wednesday night. He didn't really care what we did, until he figured out that it was on the same night as the Lakers vs. Jazz game. He tried to go along with me and not upset me that i had made such a terrible mistake but he didnt do a very good job at it. So we got up to Salt Lake and we found the Macaroni Grill and he asked me where this "event" was so we could park in the middle of the 2 places. So i pulled out the tickets and it went like this:Jennifer: Oh no.... Oh no Marsh
Marshall: What? Whats the matter?
Jennifer: These aren't the right tickets... I don't know what happened.
Marshall: Why, whats wrong with them, what do they say?
Jennifer: They say the Jazz vs. the Lakers
Marshall: (mad voice) Shut up, they do not (he was mad that i would tease him about such an important event) Let me see them.
(Jennifer is all smiles at this point)
Marshall: (ECSTATIC) I'M GOING TO THE JAZZ LAKERS GAME? I'M GOING TO THE JAZZ LAKERS GAME? (He looks at the tickets, he looks at me (he didn't believe what was happening)) I'M GOING TO THE JAZZ LAKERS GAME? (he even started to get a little teary eyed... he will deny it, but take my word for it, IT HAPPENED)
Jennifer: Happy Valentines Day Marshall
Marshall: I never thought i would say this but i LOVE valentines day

So at dinner the kid couldn't stop smiling. You would think i just bought him a house. It was adorable. Later that night he said to me.."Jenn, do you remember when i told you that i was so in love with you that i didn't think i could ever be more in love with you because i just didn't think it was possible?" I said yeah... "well, i think i just fell more in love with you". How cute is he. It helped that the Jazz WON!!! 113 to 109. By far the best game i have ever gone to in person and one of the best i have ever watched! It was awesome! We seriously had the time of our lives!
