A night at the Opera


That is correct I spent a night at the opera. I was not exactly excited about this, 2-3 hours of people singing in a language I didn't understand didn't sound way fun. However since Emily & James we in the cast I decided it would be okay, I'd do it for them. I tried to get myself all excited to see James singing as a lead & Emily being a chorus girl (just as important as a lead, no chorus & half the songs would've not been awesome) About 10 minutes in, before either of them stepped on stage, I was so into the music I forgot I couldn't understand what they were saying without reading the superscript, which presented a problem when I forgot to read them & suddenly was lost on the story because I was so caught up in what was happening on stage between the singers.
Mark put it best when he said "the music was amazing, the plot so-so" This is very true, the story was odd but the music was so beautiful. So if any of you are in the area this week I suggest you stop by BYU & watch this amazing production! James & Emily did amazing!!!!

Saturday my Dad turned 50! My sister had an awesome idea to surprise him with all the family & grandkids that have adopted my parents. It was a wonderful surprise, he had no idea that everyone was outside when we made him come out to the back patio. I love surprising people. Yes it was a rather cold day for cake & ice cream outside but we partied on, we aren't easily discouraged! I love my dad, he is such a great example of serving & loving those around you! Happy Birthday Dad!
