Things are going just fine for the Armstrong's. Eric and I had our 3rd Anniversary on 4-23 and it was wonderful. We had auditions for, "Kung Fooey", (the show that we're directing this summer at OBT) in the morning and they went great. We had lots of talented people and called almost everyone back! Then we dropped Tiny off at my Aunt Kim's house and Eric and I met Sunny at the Courtyard Marriott in Salt Lake. She was nice enough to check us in so that we could get a super discounted room. I'll be honest....she's kind of the most awesome person ever. So we chatted with sunshine for a bit and then went to get some snacks for the night. We decided while we were out that we might as well get dinner since it was a Saturday night and places would fill up fast. We ended up having our romantic dinner at "The Tin Angel".
SUCH a charming little place. The food was wonderful, exotic, and not so expensive that we broke the bank but just pricey enough to feel like we were celebrating!! We had 3 tapas (2 bite plates) 1.) Prosciutto wrapped shrimp 2.) Delicious bread with oil and balsamic vinegar and 3.) Flank steak skewers with an apricot chutney. MMM! We also got the fancy version on french fries, baked fingerling potatoes with their house aioli. DELICIOUS! For dinner Eric got the duck with Israeli couscous and I got some sort of amazing chicken with a lemon caper sauce over fresh pasta! And we shared a caramelized pear tart brulee for dessert! It was incredible food!!! Anyways, then we went back to the hotel and DID NOT wait 30 minutes before swimming. Although, in our defense, we didn't really swim so much as we just sat in the hot tub....for a long time! Then we went on to do other things that I don't think anyone really wants to hear about. Then I got a some pains and ruined the rest of the night. :-( Lame Kia! So Eric ate the snacks by himself and I think watched part of "The Ten Commandments". I dunno!
The next day was Easter....I felt bad not being with Tiny on her very first Easter but I figured of all of them to be away for this one would be the best because she wouldn't remember it, so she spent the day with my Aunt Kim and her family. Eric and I soaked in the hot tub, had an amazing lunch, and went to see African Cats with Sunny and Rusty. The movie was kind of awesome actually! Rusty HATED it though. He said it was the single worst thing he'd ever seen! Yeah...he's super dramatic but we still felt bad for dragging him to it. I have to be honest though, I never in a million years would've guessed that the reason Rusty would hate that movie was because it was too sad! Poor Rusty is a little to sensitive to watch Big Kitty's suffer...and who can blame him?? Oh, we love those two, they're good quality people and wonderful friends!!We went and got Tiny that night, unfortunately she was a little bit sick so she wasn't great for Kim like I was hoping she would be. Guess we're gonna have to find someone else to watch her next time. Ugh! BEHAVE CHILD! It's just too hard to predicted babies!!!
Well, its now May 6th, so, I started writing this post 8 days ago! Now there is so much more to catch up on and I feel overwhelmed by it all so...I'll catch you up REALLY fast.
We cast our show! Yay! We have a wonderful cast (we think...) and we can't wait to put this show together. We cast Scott Butler, Jake Miskimins, Matt Glade, Jesse Curran, Eric Jensen, Clarence Strohn, Angie DeGrazio, Sara Higgins, Dru Watts, Nic, Brown, Sunny Simkins, Sandy Jensen, Annalise Karr, and Patrick Alderman. I know some of those names don't mean anything yet, but they will very soon! We started choreography for the show and the cast is doing remarkably well with it! THANK THE LORD'S OF KOBOL!!!
Eric's show is going really well. He's still having a lot of fun and doing lots of guy bonding! It was pie night last night which means they're half way done! YAY!!! We'll see if I ever let him do this again! ;-) I actually love watching him perform, it makes me all sorts of happy! I'm so proud to be married to such a talented guy!
Isabelle is growing like a weed. She gets more personality everyday and I love it!
She's getting to be so much fun. She's a wiggle worm which I'm trying to encourage into something productive but she'd rather just lay on her back and wiggle her hips. Silly baby! She eats anything I put in her mouth and doesn't think its acceptable for me to eat something and not share with her. She's a very happy baby and I love her a lot!Isabelle and I are leaving for Palm Springs next week....SO EXCITED!!!! We're going on a "relaxing and rejuvenating" vacation with Sunny, Kori, and Logan. It SHOULD be a lot of fun, as long as the kiddos behave. We're going to be gone for 6 days stopping in Vegas on the way there and the way back. I can hardly stand the waiting! I want it to be right now!!!!!! Although, it'll the the first time since Eric and I got married that we have gone more than 1 night without each other. It's going to be strange to be away from him for so long. But I'm sure he'll be SUPER productive at home and get a lot done so the house looks great and the dog smells better when I get home! ;-)
There's my attempt at playing catch up. Hope it was semi-informative and slightly entertaining! I shall end this post with a picture of my messy faced Tiny in her sink bath this morning! She loves the water!!!!
