Mother's Day '09

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Today was a day about spending quality time with the woman who has raised and put up with all of us heathens.

We made her brunch and dinner, and just hung out and played games.

We are going to Costa Rica in a few months so we bought my mom the perfect beach shirt!

RENT Musical

My mom surprised my sister, Stacey, and I with Broadway tickets to see RENT at the Dallas Music Hall. Before the show we went to NorthPark Mall to eat at La Duni. La Duni is an awesome Latin restaurant that is a must try! If you can't make it to the NorthPark location, not to worry, they have an Oak Law and McKinney Ave location as well!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mimosas for brunch are a must when out with the girls :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was my first Broadway show to go to and it was INCREDIBLE! I sang the entire time. I almost felt bad for the people around me but hey, thats what musicals are for, right?! And I just so happened to know all the words to all the songs because I have the movie and watch it ALL the time!

For those of you who haven't heard of RENT. It is considered a "Rock Musical" and tells the story of a group of impoverished young artisits and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York City's Lower East Side in the thriving days of Bohemian Alphabet City, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stacey couldn't see so she bought these fabulous theater glasses...doesn't she look HOT?! ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did you know that RENT was first seen in a limited three-week workshop production in New York Theatre Workshop in 1994 and that this show won a Pulitzer Prize, and the production was a hit?!

Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville

Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville is one of the most fun concerts I have ever been to.

He came to Pizza Hut Park in Frisco and Stacey, Mandy, Jason, Beau, Justin all went to the show!

We all went over to the Addison Improv and had so much fun. The comedians really get the crowd involved they were talking to us the whole time. It was really funny.
