A WICKED day followed by a new calling

I have several pictures of us before and after the musical Wicked in Louisville, but I can't find my camera cord to post them on the computer! I'm sure it will turn up, but for now, no great pictures. Anyway, if you haven't heard of Wicked I don't know what planet you have been living on for the past several years!!! This is the first national tour of the musical and we have had tickets since last summer (thanks again Rosie!!). We went to Nathan's brother's house in Elizabethtown and left our kids with his two kids and two sitters. Once in Louisville we met up with Nathan's parents and our friends Debbie and Amanda. We saw the matinee and I must say that I am still totally freaking out! I knew it would be good, but I had no idea that it would be extraordinary. If you are familiar with it, my favorite song was definitely "Defying Gravity" AHHHHH it was AMAZING!! After the show we went around the corner and ate the Hard Rock Cafe. It was a wonderful, unforgettable day!!
Today, I got released from Relief Socitey because I was called to be the first counselor in the Young Women's Presidency. I will miss my friends in Relief Society, but I am thrilled to be with the girls. They are small in numbers, but strong in spirit. I am sure it will be a great experience. Today I couldn't help but reflect on the great experience I had in Springville when I was part of the Young Women's presidency there. I think you learn and grow from not only each calling, but the wonderful people that you get to meet as a result of the calling. I feel so blessed to have met so many amazing people over the years.

I cannot say how thoroughly jealous I am of your concert/broadway experiences. You are very lucky. I couldn't get tickets to Wicked here and am dying! I hold out hope (though very little) that maybe I can win some or buy some off of someone with extras when the time comes...AHHH! Love Wicked.

When my friend and I say wicked in Chicago I was absolutely amazed. It was the best musical I had ever seen. I loved it all. I am glad you guys got to go see it as well. As for the YW calling that is what I am as well maybe we can exchange ideas in the future.
