The Color Purple!

Every weekend seems to have a highlight lately. But I suppose it's like that with life. The highlight of this weekend was The Color Purple. That Broadway show was soooo good. I know a lot of people are skeptical of Broadway shows that were movies but this one was really good. I love the fact that the entire cast was African-American. The songs were really good and I can't wait to get the soundtrack. I love how they included important points from the movies and the book but didn't feel the need to be a carbon copy of the two. It had its own identity but still it was recognizable as The Color Purple. The actresses playing Shuge and Sofia were amazing. I was just glad to be there with my family and J. I wish I had seen Broadway shows earlier in my life but I'm just glad to be seeing them now.

So I had an amazing weekend. It was so wonderful and I can't wait for Mamma Mia in November and Wicked in December! I think I love experiencing the show with my family and J most of all. I love spending time with my family. We are so cheesy but it's awesome because I know a lot of people don't have what we have and I'm grateful for that. I'm glad that J is a part of my family and that they like him so much. So yea, I'm in a great mood. An awesome mood.

Also, I made the decision to get myself enrolled in some kind of martial arts. This is something that I have wanted to do for years. J has a coworker that is involved in a class so I'll be a beginner but I'm excited to learn. They do Shaolin style! I think the reason that martial arts appeals to me is the structure and the discipline that they teach. I look forward to that more than anything else. So hopefully you'll see me doing that eventually. Deidre is involved in Tae Kwon Do.....we could have a sparring match!
