The Costco Give

I just wanted to say thank you to my sister, for taking to me Costco yesterday.... Not only did she give me a ride, she sat in the car with my two sleeping kids while I went in and got the stuff I needed, then she helped me unload and put away my groceries!!! I have the best sister ever!!! Thanks again

*** Oh, I just thought it was funny, when one of my boys finally woke up... we were already home and starting to put everything away. After my sister left... Bryson said "Aunt Jenny is so nice to give us all this stuff, but how does she know to buy everything the same just like you???"

Defying Gravity!

    Four months ago I braved the elements and headed downtown at 5:00 a.m. to wait in wicked lines.  I was not the only person doing this, I was joined by half of Salt Lake, all of whom wanted to see the Wizard when he made his appearance at the Capital Theater in April.  At about 8:00 a.m. a representative from the theater came by and told us that the tickets would be sold out before we made it through the line.  So I then followed the Yellow Brick road (Main Street) to the Rose Wagner Theater, they would also be selling tickets.  I was about the 60th person in line, the only problem was the box office did not open until 10:00.  So for the next two hours I started visiting with everyone in line.           Then at exactly 10:00 the line started moving and then at 10:00 everyone started hitting the phones (they were calling the ticket agency, not actually hitting their phones).  At about 10:15 the guy next to me (McKay) got through.  He bought 2 tickets for him and 6 for me, then he started passing his phone around to people in line so that they could buy their tickets.  He was very Popular.  Yes,  indeed we were off to see the Wizard, and we all truly felt as if we had Defied Gravity.     

     So on April 29, our whole family went to see the Broadway Musical Wicked.  All of the kids loved it, I think it helped that they knew the songs so well.  Nicole was sitting next to me and every time one of the songs came on that she knew, she would squeeze my hand and give me a little smile.       

     I really want to thank McKay for being a Little Giver.  I know everyone in line feels the same way that I do, thanks for helping us all get our tickets, you have a big heart.
