SX 2009

Well this weekend was an opportuinity I'm so glad I did not pass up! Pretty much the week of Supercorss, Andy's buddy called him and old him that he wasn't going to make it. Well Andy called me and wanted to know if I wanted to go. It was such short notice I didn't know if I'd be able to get things worked out.
I was scheduled to work Saturday afternoon and I was really nrevous I wasn't going to be able to ahve someone take my shift for me. Well I decided to go into work on Monday during my lunch break from school and ask around to see if anyone would work for me. A girl gladly covered my shift and I went on my way to figure out the next obstacle... A plane ticket.
I had been looking and checking prices the day before and nothing was cheap because of sort notice. I called my friend Kent that went to BYU last semester and is now back home in Gilbert to see if we can hang out if I got an early flight. He told me he couldn't because he was flying back to Provo to pack up his car and drive it back. I asked if there would be room for me to go home with him. He said there would be but I'd have to leave Thursaday morning because it was supposed to snow on Friday. That was perfect!
We got to town right at 7 on Thurday and Kent dropped me off at Chase Field. Parts Unlimited was sponsoring a showcase and a dinner for the dealers. At the dinner, Andy won a Chad Reed Jersey and he was going to get it signed on Saturday! We also got to watch the track being bulit it was so cool! The picture wasn't all that great but it was a cool thing to experience!

Saturday morning I got to spend some time with Lincoln and play before I left for the big day!
Haha, I was totally taking this picture and neither one of us were looking.. Don't ask!


We got to see Ryan Vilapoto talk a lil bit to us, It was neat!



Then Chad Reed came out to speak with us and sign a few autoraphs!




This is just me with Andy's Chad Reed Jersy thats signed!

I'm one lucky girl! Not only did I get Chad's autograph but I got to take a picture with him!


Here is a picture of the track all finished, right before the races began!


It's tradition to take a picture of the girls holding the count down sign. Our seats were right behind the starting gate and finish line! It was so sweet sitting there!


Me and Andy being cheezy as ever! Oh man did I have a blast!

That is awesome that you got to go and get into all the backstage stuff!! Hunter, Scott and Tanner went too. They had great seats also and had a blast. I wish they could have met up with you and you could have shared the fun. Hunter would have been in Heaven if he got to meet them. AWESOME
