starlit nights.

derek and i have season tickets to starlight this summer. it's super fun to me to have a revolving date like that. and we have a good time.

"the drowsy chaperone"
the first show of the season was pretty terrible. neither of us had ever heard of it before and we both hated it. there was no intermission, we're pretty sure because they were afraid people would have left.

"high school musical"
decent, but a little cheesy. i'd not seen the movie. derek had done the show for their fall musical last year, so he had quite a lot to say about the things they did or did not do.

"the music man"
pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, talk a little... derek couldn't go that week, so melodie came along with me. i think he was a little sad because he'd never seen it before. the only time i'd seen this show was when aunt ruth was in it for their community theater. it was great.

"fiddler on the roof"
last week, we decided to take kelsay and cody along with us. cody is leaving for college in a couple of days, and kelsay had always wanted to go. and we love double dates. :) derek had played the lead in high school and sang nearly every word to every song. i hadn't seen it before, and didn't really know the story. it was very good. and we looked pretty cute, even though it was freezing!! in the middle of AUGUST for goodness sake.



"les miserables"
happens in a few weeks. derek hasn't seen it, i love it. i'm excited! :)




isn't this the very absolute best t-shirt you've ever seen? i got it for derek's birthday, expecting that he would chuckle and then chuck it to the back of his closet... but he loves it. and he wore it on our very next date. :) too funny. too too funny. i love it.
