The Phantom of the Opera


On thursday Mark took me out for my birthday present to the Phantom of the Opera. I have loved Phantom since I was 12 and my Grandma gave us tickets to go see it in Calgary. I love the Hollywood version that came out on DVD and I was a little worried that I wouldn't like this one because of both of those reasons. Sometimes when we see or do things when we are kids we have a different perspective and then when we see it again as adults it just isn't as magical. Anyways, I still love it. I love watching people who have worked so hard to be or do something. Obviously you have to be a pretty amazing singer to be on Broadway and they were! It was really inspiring. I feel the same inspiration when I watch the olympics. They have just worked SO hard to be where they are at. I guess that is how life is. You have to WORK to achieve great things!
Me and my honey.
He always comes up with the sweetest ideas for gifts that always mean a lot to me, which I love, but it's kind of hard to keep up when it's his turn!

We're going in two weeks (my early Christmas present) and I'm SO excited! So did you really like it, or just so-so?

I totally remember rollerblading in the basement listening to Phantom with you. Glad you enjoyed it again!

I too love phantom. I also loved playing all the songs on the piano. I have never seen the musical in realy life and always wanted to.
