Going on a Date

Sadly, I can't remember the last date Hubby and I went on. This is proof that it's been a while. You can tell by the picture that I was way excited to get dressed up and go out and that Hubby is not interested in dressing up if he doesn't have to. Anyway...we got to go see Les Miserables at the Muny tonight. It's my favorite show ever. The music makes me cry. I think this is my 4th time to see it on stage. This was not my favorite time, but it was still good nevertheless. I think when Inspector Javert kills himself at the end because he can't live with knowing his pursuit for "justice" keeps getting returned with mercy is such a great picture of what legalism will do to a soul. At one point we had a counselor who recommended this movie to us because we were struggling with grace/forgiveness/justice issues. This might be why it's my favorite show. I can relate to so many of the characters on different levels. My sweet in-laws came to stay with the girls and let us go enjoy. It was also my debut into maternity clothes. That kind of felt weird and I think I look a little like a Target bag, but I had a cute headband that matched. I'm obsessed with my clothes right now (see the minivan mom entry). Sorry. Anyway, if you've never seen Les Mis you should go see it (after you've seen the version of the movie with Liam Neeson that will fill you in on all the details you'll miss from seeing it on stage). It might change your life. If not, you might at least cry. If not, you might at least enjoy a good night out. Get the lemon freeze if you see it at the Muny. It will definitely enhance your experience.

Les Mis is my favorite book, by far. I started with the musical and movie, but finally got to the book. It's one of those that I'd like to reread...maybe the abridged version this time!

Glad you got a night out!
Love, Laura

Do you know how much we miss the dating possibilities in STL? Sigh. But we're glad you had a night out, even if we are a bit jealous :)
