For my birthday Adam took me to Salt Lake for the weekend and to the ReAl Salt Lake soccer game against the LA Galaxy (the team that David Beckham plays for) and we stayed at the Radisson Hotel, (used to be the Wyndam (sp?)). On Saturday we left to go lunch in the afternoon and noticed a huge bus in front of the hotel. At first we didn't think anything of it, but then we saw a dude walking around in LA Galaxy garb and just figured that he was a fan, but then we put 2 and 2 together and thought that maybe the LA Galaxy team was staying at the hotel. We thought that was pretty cool and hoped that maybe we'd see one of them in our wanderings around.
Anyway, so we go to the game and it was AWESOME! Such a good game! We (RSL) scored 2 goals within the first 18 minutes so we were feeling pretty confident in our team. Well, at least I was. But then Beckham comes out of nowhere and scores a goal! It was a way sweet goal too! Then a few minutes later he scored another one! Poor Adam, who LOVES Beckham, was out getting drinks and food when all of that went down. I feel so bad for him! He missed out on not one, but TWO David Backham goals. Sad day...
Anyway, after the game, Krissy, Neil, Mikade, Adam and I were hanging out in the stadium and we walked over to where the away team boards their bus and it was the SAME bus that was parked out in front of our hotel. SWEET! They were staying at our hotel! So when we were riding trax down from the stadium we decided to wait for them in the lobby and try to get Beckams picture and autograph. We were the only ones there waiting, it was awesome! So we waited for like a half hour and then the team rolled in and there he was! Live and in color! When he came in the doors Adam walked over and shook his hand and talked to him for a sec and I snapped a picture. I guess then Adam asked him for a picture and they both turned to me and posed for me to take it and I was totally oblivious! I don't even remember them doing that. I'm such a jerk! I just walked up to Beckham and asked him for his autograph. Then I asked him for a picture because it was my birthday and he said sure and wished me happy birthday. Then he put his arm around me, and mine around him (OMG) and Adam took our picture.
This is the best part...!!! Keep in mind that Adam and I are the only ones in the lobby (besides the rest of team). So, as Beckham was walking up the stairs, he turned and looked at me. Not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES!!! Adam saw the whole thing. He even said that on the last one he smirked and smiled a "sexy" smile at me, and Adam was like what the hell?! Hahaha. I didn't see him do it, but OMG!!! David Beckham TRIPLE checked me out!!! And it's totally going to my head, hahaha! Be sure to look closely at the picture of Beckham and I... you can see him LEANING toward me... I swear I'm not making it up! I know I'm a dork! Who knows what he was thinking when he was looking at me; probably that I was crazy for shaking and drooling all over him, but still!
Anyway, I'm going to try and post the pictures below. He autographed my game ticket stub, and I have the pen that he used. We're going to frame them. We got some other pictures with some other players but they're not as famous as Beckham.
Adam gave me the most amazing, unforgettable birthday, EVER! Wahooooooooo! Thank you Adam, I LOVE YOU!
