WICKED!!!

-
Okay, I'm finally posting. No sarcastic comments will be accepted from anyone. That being said, here's my newest post.


This year for my birthday, Coleman and Roni gave me a ticket to "WICKED" The touring company was coming through Denver again, and they told me that if I got myself to Colorado, they'd take me to the play. Well, it was a chance to see Wicked which I have wanted to see since I got home from my mission, so of course I told them I would make it to Denver.


Here are some pictures from my big night out at the theater.


No one told me that I was supposed to wear black and green. So I was stuck as the odd man out wearing brown. Thanks guys. :)


Here's the three of us waiting for the play to start. That was the most exciting wait for a play to start I've experienced in a while.

This is what the stage looks like. I'm still not positive why they had a dragon, it didn't really do much, but other than that, it was AWESOME!!!


And here I am outside the theater with my bag of goods. I of course spent more money than I meant to, but I'll never go to Wicked for the first time ever again, so I figured- what the heck!

The play was AMAZING!!! It was just as good as I thought it would be. I did think it was interesting that all the major power songs were in the first half. That doesn't happen a lot. The second act was a little "mheh" compared with the first. It was still all good though and so much fun!!!
We've also decided to start a new tradition of "Broadway Birthdays". Speaking of which, Coleman and Roni, you need to let me know what play we're going to next so I can buy some tickets and get a trip to Denver planned.
Thanks guys for one of the best birthday presents I could have asked for. Love you both!

What? The first half is slow and almost boring. The second half is amazing!

totally disagree. the first half ends with "Defying Gravity". That is totally the power song from this show.

One Year!

-
For those of you who may not know, today is my one year anniversary. It has been exactly one year since my graduation from BYU -Idaho and Rexburg . That's right, December 20, 2006 was the memorable day that I said good-bye to Rexburg and the campus that had been my home for too many years and entered the real world. All right, Ogden UT isn't exactly the "real world" but in honor of my anniversary , I thought I would reminisce for a moment and do a recap of my year. Unfortunately the only people who read my blog are quite aware of what I have done this year, but hopefully it will provide some humor . First I celebrated my release from the land of ice and snow by going to Arizona for Christmas. although it is traditional to wish for a white Christmas , there is nothing wrong with celebrating Christmas in a place that is warm enough to swim. I agree with Alita that we should spend Christmas in AZ more often, it just makes sense. Upon my return to the tundr...

DISNEYLAND!!!!

I'm sure you are all aware that we went to Disneyland for Thanksgiving. I'm making this assumption because four of the six people who regularly read my blog were part of the expedition. We had a great time and here's a little summary of our trip. I was a little apprehensive about spending that much money to go to a theme park. I went to Disneyland when I was a sophomore in High School and had about as much fun as I do at the doctor's office (and no, the doctor's office is not my happiest place on earth.) I knew lots of this had to do with the company and the fact that I got pretty sick in the park and on the way home, but there was still a part of me who attributed it to the fact that I'm not really an "amusement park person." But the girls did make it sound like fun, so I decided to give the park one more chance. Well, I'm certainly glad that I did. It was a blast!!! We had such a good time and I only thought I was going to die once, which is real...

Colorado Trip- Musuem of Nature and Science

I know it's been a while since I actually went to Colorado, but I have a strict policy on skipping ahead. That means that I can't blog any of my Yosemite pictures until I've done my Easter weekend, so I decided to stop procrastinating. My weekend in Colorado was fantastic. I guess it's hard to go wrong when I'm visiting my favorite brother, sister-in-law and niece. Coleman and Roni are great hosts and anyone who hasn't been out to visit them should serious rethink that. Of course, the only people who read my blog are immediate family members, and they've all been there. So i guess you'll all just have to go again. When Coleman asked me what I wanted to I said "go to the zoo." I'm sure this doesn't come as a shock to anyone who even remotely knows me. I love animals it is true, but I had another reason for wanting to go to the zoo. Makadie loves animals too (I knew she was going to take after me) and know a lot of their names and...
