Wicked

Yesterday Steve and I drove to St. Louis to go see Wicked. (For those of you who don't know he got me tickets for our one year anniversary.) I couldn't believe it was finally here! Since the day he gave me the tickets I have been counting down. I have wanted to see Wicked for years now and just couldn't make it happen, so I was SOO excited to finally get to see it. 

We woke up early and drove over to St. Louis. Our first stop was the mall to stop by H&M, sadly I didn't find anything that struck my fancy enough to buy it. Then we went to our hotel and just relaxed until it was time to head down to the FOX Theater. We had quite the adventure using the public transportation down to the theater and both decided to take a cab back to the hotel after the show. 

After dinner we lined up outside the theater and anxiously waited for the doors to open. I had heard the FOX was absolutely beautiful inside and boy were they right. As we walked in I was awestruck, it was like a step back in time to when theaters were so extravagant and gorgeous. We explored every floor until they let us go to our seats. 

Once the lights dimmed I felt like a kid on Christmas, I was so excited. From the first note until the curtain lowered I was enraptured. It was every I wanted it to be and more. The cast was perfect, the set was incredible and of course the story was amazing. I laughed and cried and got goosebumps throughout the entire show. Steve even loved it, I may have converted him into a musical lover ("lover" might be pushing it") . 

After the show we attempted to hail a cab and after about 20 minutes of no success we finally got one and headed back to the hotel. I smiled the whole way. I was on cloud 9 the rest of the night. It was the perfect gift and the perfect weekend trip. I could not have loved any of it more. 

Life Changes

Well, once again I’ve been gone for a while. I always have great intentions for blogging regularly and then life happens and I forget or just don’t feel like it at that moment or can’t think of what to write, and then a month goes by and I miss this little space and back at it I go.


There have been a lot of changes happening over here, well really one big change that has led to lots of other changes.

The big change is: I GOT A NEW JOB! After two years of looking and searching and hoping and praying and crying and questioning I got offered a wonderful job at a wonderful company. The company is FBMM and they are a financial management firm that works with musicians and other entertainers. I am an executive assistant in the tax department. This has been my second week here so I am still learning and training but I really feel like I am getting a good grasp on everything they have thrown at me so far. As stuffy as all of that may sound, this place is the complete opposite. This is the music business and the office and people reflect that. Everyone is so nice and laid back and the office is cool (exposed brick, windowed garage doors acting as walls, bright green desks backdrops etc.) I have never felt so at home somewhere that I worked. I fit here. It’s amazing. God knew all this time that he was preparing me for this place and so far it has been worth the wait.

My new desk!

 

The other big change that this new job has brought to my life is my schedule. Before I was working until 8pm every night and until 1pm every Saturday; I never got to really see my friends, and I missed out on a lot of other weeknight activities. Now I work normal hours. 9-5 and of course have weekends off. These past two weeks I haven’t know what to do with myself all evening, it’s been great! I can actually cook myself dinner, and do laundry and after all that I still have time to sit and watch TV. I can also go out on weeknights, go to a concert, have dinner with a friend, etc. This is going to be so great because I feel as if my relationships were what suffered the most these past 2 years and that is the one thing that really matters in this life.

I am just so excited for this new adventure and all the ways my life is going to continue to change as a result!!
