Cashing in My Mother's Day Present


So, while I was taking that coveted Mother's Day nap this year- Benjamin was hard at work creating a clever "witches" card that included 2 tickets to see "Wicked" (that meant he didn't have time to get to the dishes- maybe next year- wink, wink). So, we went on Friday & it was hilarious. There was a spectacular cast & the way they pulled everything into the Wizard of Oz & made all the loose ends tie so nicely at the end was perfect for me- I'm never happy unless it's a happy ending. Anyways, I'd put Wicked right up there with my favorite Broadways- of course, Les Miserables will always take the cake & I do love Phantom, but probably third. I forgot my camera, so here's our cell phone picture of us. *As a side note, I'm so glad Benjamin's so cultured & truly enjoys the Broadways with me. I had never seen, or really heard of a Broadway, until after we were married. He knows all the words to all the songs in Les Miserables- anyways, just a cute little trait I love about him.

I was totally surprised by how much I liked it. Glad you had fun, it's nice to have a hubs that enjoys doing stuff like that, huh?

*** As I was running yesterday a cop drove by and I was reminded of the time we got "pulled over" while running on Mountain Valley.. ha ha.

We went this year as well! It was really good. I read the book, which was awful, so I'm glad they improved the broadway!
