An Interesting St Patrick's Day

So we went to the Jazz game with our lovely friends Julianna and Jeremy who had 7th row tickets.  It was amazing!!!  That is not my sad news, while we were there I was taking pictures and then got up to go use the little gals room.  When I came back I went to sit down and my jacket was on the chair, well my camera was in my pocket in its protective case.  When I take out my camera I try to turn it on and it won't, I thought that is strange I hope I didn't break it or something.  Well turns out when I sat down in my chair my camera case got stuck between the seat when it folds down and put a dent in it and now it won't work.  I was so sad, I broke our camera the same time last year, it cost a lot to repair it and I don't know if it is worth it to fix it.  Chris thinks maybe his friend might be able to fix it, but we will see.  If anyone know where to find good cameras for a good price let me know cause I feel naked without my camera and might need a new one soon.   I will post some of those pictures whenever it comes back.  I hope everyone had a wonderful St Patrick's Day.
