March happenings

Just a few things that went down in March:

A City Rep girls reunion
We hadn't seen each other since last summer.

Boy, had I missed these ladies! There is something comforting in friendships that don't change after 20 years, even though our lives are so very different from what they were back then, and from each other's lives now.

Skyping with the D.C. Smyths

I am so proud of P and J, the choices they've made, and how they've grown together while living away from us. I cannot wait for them to move home!

My nephew with Robin Hood and
Maid Marian. I'm thrilled he liked
the show as much as I did!

Plays I saw this month (I saw the first 5 within 8 days):

• Steel Magnolias (Midvale Arts Council)
• Shrek the Musical (Broadway Across America at the Capitol Theatre)
• Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Hale Centre Theatre -- West Valley City)
• Robin Hood ... twice!! (Utah Childrens' Theater)
• Death of a Salesman (The Grand Theatre)
• Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (CenterPoint Legacy Theatre)
• Nunsense (Taylorsville Arts Council)

Thank goodness I was able to score a few free tickets, or I would be even more broke now than I am. Meanwhile, I am now burned out on play-watching, so with the exception of The Secret Garden at CenterPoint, I will be taking a break from theater-going in April.

Wedding dress shopping with my friend Mattie June (who is basically a real-life Jane Bennett from Pride and Prejudice). I realized it was the first time I've ever been wedding dress shopping with someone! It was so fun, and she looked so beautiful. Her dress really is perfect. I can't wait to see it with all the alterations and accessories!

My mom asked whether I tried on any dresses, too. Um, no. I've tried some on before, and it turns out it isn't really fun for me if I'm not planning my wedding; I feel like I'm putting on a costume. She made the argument that I could buy the dress now and have it taken care of for when I do get married, but why count my chickens? I guess I'm a little superstitious :-P No feeling sorry for me, it was fun enough celebrating with Mattie June!

Family Home Evening - dyeing Easter eggs. Even if I was solo, I felt it needed to be done, and the colors were beautiful!!

Easter photos I felt needed to be separate from my He is Risen post:

What I wore on Easter Sunday:
I bought the dress at Deseret Industries for $8. It is perfect :D
I've had these shoes for awhile, and pulled the butterflies
off another pair to spice them up. I love the result,
especially with the matching nail polish!

Who says the Easter bunny doesn't visit single people?
Bonus: The second season of Kim Possible was waiting for me at my parents' house later that day!

Looking forward to April! Funny that March went out like a lamb... and then it rained all day on April 1st. April Fools, Spring- weather hopefuls!

What did you enjoy most in March?
