Last Thursday, my Best Girl and I enjoyed a special evening together. I took her to the Tennessee Performing Arts Center in Nashville to see her first Broadway musical!  I love musical theater, and I have been looking forward to the day when my Best Girl and I could enjoy a show together.  I made sure to get good seats so she would be immersed in the experience--I wanted her to thoroughly enjoy it.  Despite the fact that the show lasted two hours past bedtime, my Best Girl was enthralled with the show, and the evening was a great success.  I look forward to a girls' trip to New York in the coming years!

The next morning, my Best Girl put on her own show.  The first grade program was bright and early on Friday (especially tough since she had been up until 11 the night before).  This was my Best Girl's first experience speaking into a microphone, and she did a great job.  The play was called "When I Grow Up", and my Best Girl made a great baker!


After the show, we went to her classroom for a few minutes.  Grandma and Papa Don were able to join us as well.  It was a great morning.  I have a feeling I'll be hearing all the songs from "When I Grow Up" for quite some time!

Clearly, I wore the same clothes Thursday night and Friday morning.
