Hot Date!


Ever since Christmas I've had a new favorite music group: Celtic Woman. Last night David and I got to see them perform at the Fox Theater. It was a fabulous night!!! The evening started at the Cheesecake Factory for dinner where we met David's brother, Brian, and Brian's girlfriend, Marla. (Marla surprised us with the tickets. THANK YOU, Marla!!!) Dinner, of course, was too good for words. At Brian and Marla's recommendation we got the avocado egg-rolls as an appetizer. They are some of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. TRY THEM.

After dinner we headed to the Fox, which is an experience in and of itself. It is a magestic old theater in downtown Atlanta whose history and ambiance are incredible. While there I truly feel like I'm going to the "theater" (pronounced with a British accent). Those who have seen the Celtic Woman PBS special can imagine what an amazing show we experienced. Seeing them live was AWESOME!!!! I still get chills thinking about it. It was a total sensory experience and I soaked it up. Now, when I am doing my chores I can revert back to the memories of last night and elevate my thoughts from the mundane to the superb.

(And I did have pictures of us at dinner and at the Fox, but since they were rather unflattering they have been deleted from history. Sorry).

I forgot to ask, was the running and dancing violin player there too? She reminds me of a fairy.
