JUNE 3rd, 1984
It was the day my wonderful sister Kristin was born! Yesterday was her 26th birthday! She is at Paul Mitchell the School right now, and I am loving being home and taking advantage! She has already cut my hair, cut and colored my mom (we just haven't had time to color mine) she waxed my eyebrows, can do manicures, the whole deal!
She is a great big sister, and I am lucky to have her! Here is a shot of her and I on Easter one year... adorable, right?
Last year my dad gave my mom coupons for tickets to go see Wicked in San Fransisco, she just had to pick the date. Almost a year later, she finally picked the date! June 3rd! We wanted to do something special for Kristin's birthday, and we wanted to see Wicked before Travis leaves (in less than TWO WEEKS now, yikes!).
So we decided on the Thursday evening show at 8pm. My dad put E in charge of choosing a quick/casual/fun place to eat dinner within close walking distance of the theatre. He chose this place called Double Decker, can you guess why? (he loves wings - and one rating even said best wings in San Francisco) They had great burgers though too, so we were all for it. I was even pleasantly surprised! It was in this crazy unique building attached to a Days Inn but it was fun because it was round! The food was great also, and it was perfect timing!
After dinner we walked back over to the theatre to enjoy the show. It was all of our first time seeing the production, but we had obviously heard tons about it. It was everything everyone described it to be, it was AMAZING! The details were incredible: the costumes, the lighting and effects... and the singing! It was all sooo great!
I am running out of good adjectives to describe how outstanding it was, but I was very impressed. We didn't stay after to meet the cast like Josi would (my cousin who has seen the show more than three dozen times :]).. but we left totally satisfied!
Thank you Kris for giving us a reason to celebrate! Thank you to my parents for the idea, and thanks to Travis for leaving so we had a reason to make it happen soon! :] Love you alllllll!
