What a 'Wicked' Weekend

My in-laws surprised me with a weekend getaway. They planned a trip to see 'Wicked' off broadway! I had been wanting to see this for a while now. I was surprised beyond words. Our entourage consisted of My in-laws, husband, myself, Elliot, Sister-in-law, and niece. My sister-in-law came along to watch Elliot during the show! What a trooper. She was a huge help. Both kiddos played and napped while we were at the show. She was also a huge help to Eric while dealing with me.

The show was great. We were on row one, middle seats. I was brought to tears more than once, by the sheer generosity of my family to pull all of this together for me. The short trip (4 hours from home) taught us some lessons. Things I can and cannot do. I had a list of things to do, we now need to tweak. My health just wont allow me to do what I want. It was a learning experience.

We did get into a bit of trouble at the show. They told us we could take a picture before the shows 10 minute cell warning. The lady turned around, and I tried to take a picture of Eric and I. She then immediately turned back and yelled at me!! What the heck. I really wanted to pull the sappy 'weeks to live cancer card' but I behaved. So we didnt get very good pics.

Overall, it was a blessed weekend with family. I have no words to express my love for my entire family. I know I continue to say that we are all more than family,  we are friends. I would do anything I could to show them how much they mean to me. I have no way to repay any kindness they continue to give. Ive learned to just have to be happy with Thank you, and hugs. I hope they realize how I truly feel. The emotions simply bring tears to my eyes. I wish tears could express my words.
