The Book Of Mormon On Broadway

On Tuesday evening, we had a date night in the city. We arrived early and had dinner at the Asbury. My hubby, who was a food photographer for a magazine when we met, proceeded to take many pictures of our dinner.

Afterwards, we walked to the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center to watch the Broadway Musical, The Book of Mormon. They are winners of nine Tony Awards including best musical. I especially enjoyed the songs "Hello" and "I Believe".

I'm not sure whether Latter Day Saints appreciate the musical, or not. I've read reviews where some enjoyed it and others didn't. We enjoyed the music and dance - they were very talented.

I appreciate the Mormon's commitment to building strong families, and more often than not they have strong morals. Have you been to a Broadway play, if so, what did you see?

Sentimental Gifts and Date Night

Before I share about our weekend, I wanted to share that this week we had not one, but three different doctors appointments. Two at my fertility specialist where I had an ultrasound, a follicle size of 23mm, and my 3rd IUI procedure. The third was an emergency doctors appointment to ensure I would be fine after quite a bit of blood loss. Luckily, I have been doing okay - and feeling back to myself.

 

 

We've finally sent all our Christmas cards and packages in the mail. It's almost like we need a trumpet. Here's a drawing hubby did of his older brother, and his niece - aged eight, and nephew - aged seven.

You don't have to spend a lot of money to send sentimental gifts. Its the ones you make that get kept for years to come, or passed down from generation-to-generation.

Our weekend was good. We spent Friday night out at The Gallery Restaurant at The Ballantyne Hotel and Resort. We really enjoy dressing up and dining there - here's a photo courtesy of Trip Advisor.

 

Hubby had the veal shank,

 

and I had the duck.

 



 

It was delicious.

 

Afterwards, we went to see the gingerbread house competition in the lobby, and sat by the fire for a little while - until we realized it was past midnight.

 

 

So cozy.

 

 

To be continued...
