Last Weekend...

was the worst weekend ever to forget my camera! We had so much planned for this 4 day weekend in Houston and I forgot my camera in Killeen. Boo! But, Wicked was spectacular! I'd heard excellent reviews from friends and family who have seen it in the past. Bryan and I wanted to do something fun and different than the normal (ie. movie and dinner) and we've never been to a Broadway Musical. Serious, we haven't. I actually didn't know the story behind Wicked. Anyway, we had fun dressing up all fancy in pearls and a tux. Bryan's roommate was actually going the same night with his wife, so we had a nice dinner together and then carpooled to the Hobby Center. Our seats were actually pretty close together for not having planned this activity together. Here are some pictures of Elphaba and Glinda I stole from their web page:
Defying Gravity was amazing! Everything about it from the lighting to the music to the special effects. Bryan even enjoyed the show. He asked why this musical hasn't become a movie? If you didn't catch the clue, we loved it. Definately recommend it.


We went shooting on Saturday. I got a .22 for my birthday and still hadn't shot it. That was fun. I am way more accurate with that weapon than Bryan's .45 or M9. We also went skeet shooting. I am definately better at skeet shooting in the Provo Canyon than here on the flat terrain in Houston. I shot maybe 2-3 out of every 5. Sucks!

Then we worked on the master bathroom shower. We have been working on this project for a while. It's a good thing we have another shower in the house or Bryan would be pretty stinky in this humidity. It should look great when completed. Here are some pictures from my phone:

Bryan was mad at me because I made him take the tile off the wall and redo it. He didn't think I'd notice the 1" grout behind the toilet. It is definately noticable to me. I would rather have the tiles not match up behind the toilet than 1" grout. Okay, maybe I am exaggerating a bit, but still, he knows better than that, he just needed me to tell him to fix it:)

This is the shower floor. I couldn't get the picture flipped. We will be putting a frameless shower glass on the long straight side (left side), so you just walk into the shower on diagnal short side (right side). Get it? Pictures to come when project is complete. The shower is one of our last BIG repairs. All the other stuff we want to do are just extras. Hopefully everything will be perfect and ready by next year when we plan on selling it!

So so cute! The bathroom is looking so good. And I'm glad you saw Wicked! It is definitely one of my most favorite musicals. I bought the soundtrack and absolutely love it. Seeing Wicked got Jared into musicals too so it was a great way to get started! I hope your training is going well and I really hope that you are able to come to Utah with Bryan in August! Love ya!

Brandon despises musicals...as in really, really does not like them...but he was seriously obsessed with Wicked after we saw it in NY with Noah and Kristi.
It's by far the best I've seen...which is saying a lot b/c I'm a huge Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables fan.
So glad you got to go enjoy it :)
