I have wanted to see Wicked for a long time. I somehow missed the fact that the Broadway show was coming to Utah this month (the tickets were sold out a year ago). When I heard they were here I became quite obsessed with finding a way to go. However, the tickets were selling for
waaaay out of my price range. I checked the online classified ads many times a day. Any reasonably priced tickets would sell within minutes of listing. I just about gave up. Rod told me to go ahead and just get some good tickets but I knew I wouldn't enjoy myself if they were $300-400 a piece. Friday morning my
persistence finally paid off. I caught an ad that had been posted for about 9 minutes that was selling 4 really good seats for a lot of money....AND two tickets for a deal. They were technically singles as they were one row apart but in the center, on the aisle, one right in front of the other. I called right away and got them!!!
Rod dropped everything and went downtown to pick them up. He said they were a "big Mother's Day present for the best Mom in the world". Wow. What a nice man I married! Anna and I danced around all afternoon so excited to go. The show was absolutely fantastic! I love the twist on such a well known story. There was so much creativity and talent. I was in heaven...and so was Anna. We have been listening to the music ever since and singing our hearts out...much to the dismay of our poor little boys. It was a wonderful Mother/Daughter experience!

We just got back from an amazing trip to Hawaii to visit Jill. It was 
After:
All the "contestants" were given a number. We sprayed glitter in their hair and painted stars and hearts on their faces. They each got to sing in groups to karaoke Hannah Montana and High School Musical. There was some real style and animation put into the songs...especially by Anna. We then had the "judges" (the other girls) give positive comments back to the singers.
Grandma and Grandpa Bergeson came to enjoy the party and the show:
Anna is a "superstar"! Here she is showing her star power with her cake:
Tani was in heaven...surrounded by cute girls and enjoying birthday cake. He was acting so cool.
