RENT

ANNNNNND................


It was even more amazing then expected (both times!). I had gone the week after high school graduation with my Dad in New York, and that was awesome, but going again and seeing Anthony Rapp & Adam Pascal rocked my socks!!!! When Adam & I went, we ate dinner at the Crystal Cafe in Fair Park, and talked about the show and how awesome it was, and the meaningful message behind it the entire way home.

When I went with Chelsey & Jessica (dance friends) it was a little different. We started out with dinner and mojitos at the Blue Goose then talked non-stop all the way to the theater and the entire time we waited for it to start. Like when I went with Adam, I cried, and laughed, and got excited all throughout, and afterwards....we ran like crazy people. We skipped the ovation and ran downstairs to the stage door where we waited like the fanatic fans we are. We proceeded to get every cast members autograph and somewhere I have a ridiculous picture of me posed with Anthony signing Chelsey's program.


This was a good week. A very, very good week.

RENT-The Wonderous Musical

RENT is coming to Dallas and I CANNOT WAIT! Adam and I had already bought tickets to see the Wednesday night show at Fair Park with kick-butt seats, and THEN I'm going AGAIN Sunday night!!!!! The back story of course is that back in the dance-days we were all obsessed with Rent looooong before it became cool and mainstream...I've been obsessed since I was about 12.

Yes, I'm that girl.

Plus, what makes this insanely awesome is that Adam Pascal & Anthony Rapp (the original Roger & Mark) are starring in the roles they created!!!!!!



ACKKKKK!!!!

Change.....Will You?

Found this peculiar poem today....I like it! ....I also have no idea why....what do you think?

Will You?

I am
I cannot change
I love
I cannot change
I have become
I cannot change
I try
I cannot change
I lose
I cannot change
I will die
I cannot change
I am Loved
I will not change

Easter

Happy (Belated) Easter Everyone! Our day was a long one, but a nice long one. We had brunch at the Varnell's with the rest of our Mosaic (Church) family, but missed the Easter Egg hunt to drive up to Corinth to visit Cynthia and Company. We were surprised when we pulled up to see the Red Suburban---Rusty's (Adam's Dad) infamous car! They had been driving through from Amarillo to Houston and made a surprise pit stop at Cynthia & Mark's for lunch! A great Easter surprise! The kids shared their lemon heads with me (my FAVORITE candy!) and we talked about Ethan's big news. He has decided to get baptized, and was very shy, but proud to tell. We were disappointed that while Jacob & Leticia were in town (Adam's brother and his girlfriend) they weren't able to make it to the house. We were bummed not to be able to make it to church, but since Cynthia & Mark live an hour away, and our church is at night, it seems everytime we go to their side of town, we miss service. It was worth it though.

Five Years of Togetherness

Adam and I celebrated the anniversary of our first date yesterday. It may seem a little cheesy to still recognize it now that we're married, but I think it's quite romantic! I cannot believe 5 years has gone by since our first 'tester' date back at 17 and 18! We've been so many places, had so many life changes and challenges-and we're stronger and happier than we've ever been! We celebrated by a night out at our favorite Sushi restaurant, Piranhas. Adam also surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of my favorite flower, pink roses. :) We spent most of our dinner talking about all we've done together; all of our adventurous travels, our big move to the Metroplex (almost 3 years ago!),all the personal changes we've experienced and grown from, our amazing engagement story and fairytale wedding! We also talked allot about all the magic to come for us; what we want for us in the next year, our vision for starting a family, and where we'd like our careers to take us. Saturday will also be our 6 month wedding anniversary! I remember in elementary and high school, time seemed to creep by. A six week period was half an eternity, and 6 months unfathomable! Now, time runs away faster than we can blink. A year of marriage will be in our past soon, and we'll be together, another year older. How is it some people get to be so lucky?

Half A Decade of "Kait & Adam"

Above is a picture of Adam and I back at our high school graduation. Why the vintage picture? Today marks an anniversary most people would no longer celebrate. April 9th has long been the day Adam and I have celebrated each year as our anniversary, and since we're married now, you would think we'd stop, but we think it's fun to have both. Two different celebrations! Most of you know, that Adam and I met back in middle school at church, contrary to what he answered while we were on "The Married Game" back in October, we have been friends since about 1998. Our senior year of high school, the month before graduation, my friend who was tutoring me in Calculus, began dating a friend of mine. They were a terrible fit, and honestly she had a reputation for using guys like Adam after being dumped by jerks, and then getting back with them. We talked more that month, then ever before and decided to go "hangout alone." We both say now this was our "tester" date, though neither of us would call it that then. Viola! The date that started at 7pm lasted for hours and hours, and we've been inseparable since! Here's to five years of Adam and Kaitlin-ness!!!

5 years and 6 months

Today, Adam and I have been together 5 years, and married 3 days shy of 6 months!!!! Time has flown by so quickly. I feel like we've been together both 10 years and only a few months....

I feel like this is still us:



Where has all the time gone?! I couldn't ask for a better person to pass the years with though-even if they all will go racing away. We spent our night at our favorite restaurant, Piranhas Killer Sushi and just went crazy!

I love this man!!!
