Wicked, etc.

The much anticipated night arrived last tuesday, July 24th.  We finally got to see Wicked!  With my Pierre gone away, I invited Kimmie Sue Cowgill Ennor to be my date.  She was a great date!  I love her easily, so it was nice to spend an extra night together as dear friends.  We ate at the Cheesecake Factory (me and Jami's first time) and we enjoyed that!  We walked over to the Capitol Theater and arrived about 7:20pm for the 7:30 show.  We thought we'd visit the restroom, but it was a long line and they told us we didn't want to stay out and miss the first bit.  Well after the first song I couldn't wait and left.  I was gone for about 5 more songs and 15 minutes or so.  Death in the bathroom.  I kept thinking "really.  I am really going to be ill in the bathroom for the show?!?"  But luckily once I went back in I felt much better and could finish the remainder of the show.  The Glinda playing the show was hilarious.  She was cracking me up, and she was cracking herSELF up...at one point she couldn't say her next line because she was laughing!  I love me a girl who cracks herself up :)  I really liked Glinda, she was energetic and peppy about everything and I want to be more like that.  Some of the voices weren't the strongest, but it was a very enjoyable evening.  Thank you Mom and Dad for the long awaited fulfillment of your Christmas gift!

I visited a friend recently married on her new street "Wade Circle" right next to "Wade Lane".  Obviously Wade is famous, so we took his picture at the intersection.

Last night Jami & girls were over while James was in Park City doing the radio.  I set up the projector to watch Kung Fu Panda 2 in my room.  (Although it was a bit light out still, so they just turned and watched it on the laptop instead of the sheet hanging by the windows!)  Ella kept jumping off the bed onto my cedar chest and was warned if she continued she'd be off the bed for good.  Of course she tested the limits and was banned from the bed.  As she continued to run toward the bed, giggling and screeching as her mother chased after her I threatened, "Ella I am going to put you in Wade's carseat!"  to which immediately Jami replied, "I think that's a great idea."  So, kicking and screaming, we buckled her in!  Addie, not missing a beat, grabbed Wade's (smaller) carseat and wanted to sit in it.  These girls are one in a million.  After the movie when Ella was released, Addie immediately goes over to the bigger seat Ella was in and tries to buckle herself.  Well that just wasn't possible, much to Addie's dismay.  Haha Jami and I were giggling so much throughout this.  Great entertainment!
Our great separation summer is coming to a close!!!!  POR FINNNNNNNN (finally)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We have a shuttle coming to our house between 3:30 and 4am to take us to the airport for a 6am flight to St Paul (via Dallas).  Then we are with family until Saturday when I see my beloved.  It is HIGH TIME this internship be over.  We have a busy couple of days before thursday, so I know it will come quickly.  CANNOT WAIT.
