Wicked.

Last night Ross and I got to go on a hot date. We found out Wicked was coming to Madison when we first moved here. As soon as we got our tax refund we bought tickets, and have been counting down the months ever since.

I had seen it before in high school, but Ross had never been. And it was in town over my birthday, so it was perfect! We snagged ourselves a fabulous babysitter. (Seriously Maddie, Claire was talking about you this morning and how much fun she had.)

Anyway, unfortunately, Ross' phone was just about dead when we headed out, and I left mine with the babysitter. (We don't have a land line.) So we don't have pictures to share. BUUUUUUT it was SO fun getting all dressed up. Some gals even wore floor length gorgeous dresses. 

We loved it. It was fabulous.When we came out, it was dark (obviously) but the capitol building was lit up and it was gorgeous. And we felt like such party animals being out past 10:00.

Fiyero wasn't amazing, but Glinda and Elphaba were fantastic. We really had the best time and woke up with songs still running through our heads.

Speaking of birthdays, I turned 23 last Tuesday. We celebrated with cake banana cream pie and presents on Monday. School days are kind of crazy. Ross comes home from work and I rush out the door for class, so I wanted to celebrate on Memorial Day when we were all home. I got to take a nap, got my Sonic, and got lots of fun presents. It was wonderful.

On my actual birthday I took a lazy day. I cleaned only a little, and then had a doctor appointment in the afternoon. Ross came home early so I wouldn't have to take the girls, which was really a blessing. The doctor was really behind and the appointment took a lot longer than planned. I ended up having to rush off to class straight from the appointment. Pretty low key day, but I guess that's what you hope for when you're all grown up. Last night's date totally made up for it anyway.

The last few years have been more than eventful. I'm excited for what 23 has to offer!
