A Wicked Weekend

Stess came up on Thursday night as last week was spring break. On Friday we went and saw Wicked on Broadway. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! I didn't know much about the show, other than it was a Broadway and a take off on The Wizard of Oz.
We had good seats bought about two weeks ago. We ended up being on the second balcony but on an aisle and right in front, so the view was pretty good. Madre and Bonnie were there too, different location but there none the less.
So, I have to tell this story on Stess, cause it was funny! We sat down and were looking at the program. We're looking at the song list and she turns to me and says, "This is a musical?" I looked at her and said, "Yes!" I didn't realize she didn't know it was a musical. She enjoyed it though, so that didn't matter much, and she knows now...
All in all, Wicked was so much fun! I'd go again if given the chance.
After the show we joined Madre and Bonnie for desert at Pappa Hayden's. Mmm, it was very good.
On Saturday we celebrated Stephanie's birthday, which is this Wednesday. We went out for dinner at the Spaghetti Factory. We ended up going there after McMinnemans had a two hour wait! The service wasn't wonderful, but I've been there enough times to know that it's not normal. The food was great and the company even better.
And lastly, Sunday was the last Sunday for Evangel, the church I grew up in. Stess and I went to my church but we were told that there would be some people at a restaurant we used to go to all the time. So, Stess and I showed up around 12:30 and went in at 1. When we got there we saw 3 people. Apparently someone had called in a group of about 15-20 people. We sat down and waited for people to show up. They kept coming and at the last count I made there were about 30 to 35 people! The restaurant kept adding tables. It was really great to see people that I grew up with. Many generations and lots of fun. It's sad to see the end of my childhood church, however it was great to see all those people.
All in all, it was a fun weekend! Hope yours was as fun.

Just for fun

I'm looking through my pictures, trying to find a specific one, but I've run across these four pictures that I just want to post. No big reason other than it was a fun weekend. A while ago Stess came up to Ptown and we got to hang out with our "Brothers" Ryan and Kyle. Kyle didn't look at the camera, Ryan made a face, my camera didn't focus on Stess and I, and then the sky was just cool. So, for no real reason, enjoy!
