Two Ends and One Beginning

With the end of May, we have the end of school (hurrah!!!!) ANNNND the end of the Volvo. Damn. So, we bought the Volvo to replace the crap Mazda that died, and did it all by the books. We got her inspected, we bought a reliable brand--we saved!!! And then, she died on the highway on the way to work. An oil leak. A bad one.

So, we decided this round, to just go ahead and by a new(er) car and go by what JD Power had to say, and experience told us. And since my 16 year old Honda Accord is so great, and JD Power loves Honda in general, we have bought our first new(er) car----a 2007 Honda Fit. White, with a spoiler. What's even better, is because Adam is fabulous, I get to drive it! :)


The circle of life. It ain't half bad.

School

A-L-M-O-S-T T-H-E-R-E............I see summer! I can see it!

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?
