Wicked & Things to Come

I totally forget I didn’t blog about Wicked…how could I?! So any who…Joel and I had such a good time. It was amazing. I know that sometimes the critics are cheesy and call things magical or whatever. But it really was magical. The scenery hits you as soon as you go into the theatre. It is so detailed and intricate. They didn’t cut any corners. I highly recommended the play. I thought it was amazing how they tied this story in with the Wizard of Oz that we have grown up with. And the talent… OH MY! To be honest, I’m a huge fan of Kristen Chenoweth (the original Glinda), but the girl who played Glinda was phenomenal and did just as well. And whoever played Elphaba was incredible. I’m already dying to see it again!

This past weekend we had a great time watching our nieces and nephew for an overnight sleepover. It was Eliza’s first overnight from home and she did really well. We told her it was a slumber party with her cousins and that seemed to work! The kids were so cute, but needless to say we were exhausted!

On another note, Joel and I are very busy packing for our upcoming trip. We can’t wait. I am a little nervous right now just because we are getting things together. But come Wednesday we won’t be able to contain our excitement. Joel has put together a really awesome itinerary. We are totally booked with sight seeing and tours etc (And shopping …but don’t tell Joel I snuck that in). We will be gone for 2 weeks!!! We are going to London, Paris, & Scotland!! In two weeks we will have been on 5 plan rides all around Europe. We have been very blessed and fortunate to make this possible. While we are in England will be staying with Joel’s cousins who are living over there. We can’t wait to see them!

Joel and I will be coming home the day before Thanksgiving. I can’t miss my favorite holiday! I will blog about the trip when I return. So until then…I hope you all have a wonderful November and a great turkey day!!!
