Hangin' With the Diamondbacks

Last night Jeremy and I had the opportunity to attend the Arizona Diamondbacks MVP Sponsors Award Show.  This event showcases and honors all the various corporate sponsors that help make the Diamondbacks a household name.  Sponsors included companies such as Pepsi, Safelite Auto, Sanderson Ford, Subway, Taco Bell, APS, and Jeremy's own employer, Smile Generation.  While Smile Gen didn't win any awards, we felt lucky enough to be invited and mingle with some of the players.  We got to meet Paul Goldschmidt, first baseman, who happened to be the nicest guy.  He asked about the boys' positions and genuinely seemed excited when we told him he was Noah and Jack's favorite player.  Jeremy even used the bathroom with second baseman, Aaron Hill (it's always in the bathroom he meets celebs... first Dennis Haskins, aka Mr. Belding, and now Hill).
 
Overall, the event was pretty cool.  Upon arrival we had to walk the red carpet, pause and allow the paparazzi to snap a bazillion photos, which was totally embarrassing. (Let's just hope the photos aren't used for anything later on.)  The food was super fancy and definitely not something I'd ever want to eat on a regular basis, although the dessert was pretty cool.  Jeremy works for such an awesome company and these little perks so cool!

Our dessert.  The white was covering a chocolate mousse and the hat was made out of chocolate.
