It’s been an interesting month, to say the very least. Things have been up and down and all over the place. There’s been no time for art or beading, or just about anything really. On the 17 Matt and I went out on our first date night in for-freaking-ever! We went to Toronto to see Idina Menzel sing with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra. It was a fantastic day! We wandered aimlessly around Toronto, we briefly visited my friend Emily (of tomboytara.com), and then after that we went out for a nice dinner of Chinese food. The show was fantastic! It was being filmed for an upcoming TV special, so it was an extra interesting experience since I’ve never been to a filming of anything before. Idina was wonderful… even more wonderful than when I saw her back in 2008. She sang three songs from Wicked, which made the whole night totally worth it for me. She sang I’m Not That Girl, For Good, and Defying Gravity. How awesome to hear her sing the songs she originated, from my favourite Broadway play. Her hubby, Taye Diggs, was also there and they sang a song together. They are much too cute together. Great show! I’m sure Matt was probably bored to death but hey, he owes me for all the terrible movies and whatnot that I’ve sat through for him.

OH, and it SNOWED (I love snow)!

OH and I got this…

Yep, Matt and I are engaged! I couldn’t be happier about the idea of spending forever with my very best friend. Things have not always been easy for us, and we may have sort of done things ‘backwards” by having a baby first, but we have a wonderful son, and we’re happy. Everything has really worked out for the better.
