Wicked

The hubby surprised me with a very special valentine's weekend - since we knew this was our last one - just him and me. He's the best!

On saturday evening, we enjoyed dinner at Jiraffe in santa monica. We both have heard rave reviews about this place and so this was a treat to finally try it out ourselves. It was delicious. As we sat there during dinner, I paused and realized this may be our last fancy french restaurant date in a while, and our last outing just us two, spending time, in a while, and so a part of me did get a bit sad, but then the baby kicked and I realized we're gaining so much more.

Then tonight, the hubby had another surprise in store, the best surprise! I had asked for this about 8 months ago, but since we knew that at this time, I would be just about ready to pop, we decided we wouldn't get it. Hopeless that I would never see it, I just read the complete story online and purchased some songs from it on iTunes. So ever since 8 months ago, I've just imagined.

But tonight, it all came true, the hubby bought us tickets for the sold out opening weekend of WICKED! I was on a high! I was "defying gravity" (see the musical to know what I mean =). Yes I am ready to pop, but the hubby got us great seats, center section, but aisle seats so I can make my frequent trips to the ladies =) The hubby worked hard to get these tickets, it's opening weekend, it's sold out, almost impossible to get. So we made a deal with the baby to just let us get through this musical and he'll get something special. He kept the end of his deal. It is an amazing show, I highly recommend it.

So for our last valentine's that's just us two, this was a great one, a perfect one.

And for our future valentines, with our new family, I'm sure they will be just as great, just as perfect and just as wicked.

Baby just kicked, baby agrees.
