I've been up to the regular things. Making snowmen, going sledding, playing with my kids, cleaning the house, changing diapers, worrying about what people are saying behind my back, making suppers, reading books, exercising. But tonight- is not- going to be a regular night!
Below is a picture I had Brad take of me the other day when we went for a run together down into Fish Creek Park. Why did I have Brad take a picture of me in the dark in front of a mysterious building in Fish Creek Park?
Because every time I run past this magical looking place, called The Ranche, I long to go in. When it's dark and I'm on a run and I haven't seen a soul and I'm cold and tired, the warmth of this place sparks my imagination just enough to make me think I'm in some kind of magical world. Narnia-ish.
Call me strange, but I've been a very imaginative girl since I looked like this:
Just ask my Mom.
Anyway, I've been waiting for a special occasion to go to this restaurant. Which brings me to my next point. The special occasion has arrived!
My Mom, (who is not just the best Mom in the world, but is also the best person in the world-but that's another story), gave my husband and I tickets to see the musical...
Fiddler on the Roof
I am so excited, because tonight, we are getting a babysitter, leaving at 4:30, and we are going to have a magical night in a magical world. My kids and I have been listening to the soundtrack for Fiddler on the Roof for days in anticipation. I'm going to (shamelessly) take pictures, although I don't know who's going to take them. Random strangers? Our waiter, perhaps?
Meet you in the real world tomorrow morning!
Oooh, I've always wanted to try The Ranche. I hope it lives up to your imaginative expecations! And I'm also jealous of your running...next week I have my 6 week post-pardom check up, and then I plan to get back in the habit! Have a fun date night!
ReplyDeleteI love that play! I was in it a year ago (I played the role of "Tzeitel" and loved it!) and had a wonderful time. Hope your date is as magical as you hope!
ReplyDeleteThat picture of that little girl breaks my heart with gratitude and joy and just missing her.
