Our Friend Christian!!

Last weekend we had the opportunity to drive to Ft. Collins a couple hours North of us to go see our friend Christian in a play called "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee." We had such a great time! It has been FOREVER since we have seen Christian so it was so good to see him again! Christian and I grew up together in good old Elk Grove, CA and then we all three ended up going to BYU-I together. The play was fabulous. We loved it and laughed the entire time!! So we saw the play on Friday night and then afterward we were able to hang out with Christian and catch up. They had been in Ft. Collins for most of the week and so he took us to this FANTASTIC cafe that was dedicated entirely to chocolate. It was heavenly. We even got to dring milk out of these fancy cups! Don't mind that awesome reflection on my chin from the milk...

We even had a toast with our milk...aren't we classy? After the wonderful chocolate experience we went back to Christian's hotel and met a couple of his other castmates who we really enjoyed meeting. He is really traveling with a talented group of people. We had a great time chatting with them and catching up with Christian. On Saturday morning we met up with Christian again and had lunch with him at the Mongolian Grill. It was really good. We had never been to a place like that before, we are the most uncultured and unadventurous people you will ever meet in your life when it comes to food. Ridiculous. But anyway back to the food, basically you get to choose whatever you want to put in your bowl. So you have meat (Chicken, sword fish, crab, etc) then you choose some noodles and vegetables and then your sauce. Finally once you have chosen everything you take it over and they cook it there in front of you. It was super neat. After dropping Christian off so he could catch his bus, Scot and I walked around Ft. Collins and I talked Scot in to going on a scrapbook store adventure. There is always this scrapbook store listed in my all of my magazines that is in Ft. Collins so we went and found it. What a wonderful husband I have. The store was HUGE and soooo worth it! Woo hoo.

Last night Christian's bus came through Colorado Springs on their way to Texas and of course we wanted to meet up again. So we went and picked him and his friend up and we took them to Colorado Springs' claim to fame, Garden of the Gods. It was pretty dark and hard to see but I think they still enjoyed it. Afterward we took them back to our house for dinner.
Christian, we had such a great time seeing you and catching up! We loved meeting your new friends and cast mates and we thought you guys were fantastic in the play! Can't wait to see you in New York when we go on our next vacation!!!
