Wicked!

Last Friday night Mikey and I got to go out on a long-anticipated date to see the play "Wicked!" We bought our tickets in June '08, so we had plenty of time to look forward to it. We were lucky enough to get to see Wicked in January '08 in Los Angeles and we LOVED it!! So our expectations were high, but we totally loved it in Salt Lake, too. It was neat to see how the actors put their own spin on the characters. The lines were all the same, but the delivery was often quite different. We had such a great time! What made it extra fun was that we got to go with so many people we love! From left to right, we went with Mikey's Uncle Denny and Aunt Judy, our friends/cousins Jeff and Janelle, my brother-in-law Brandon and sister Sharlene, my mom Carol, my Grandma Verda, and my dad Richard (and me and Mikey). It was so fun to get to experience Wicked all together. Wicked in LA, January '08:

Swine Flu

It was once said that pigs would fly when we had our first black president. Well, within Obama's first 100 days . . . swine flu!

(I didn't make that up, but I thought it was pretty funny!)
