We left here Friday after Robbie was done with class and headed to Nashville for the night. Then we got up Saturday morning and repacked the car and headed to the Stanford house. Once we arrived we got to spend some time with them which included seeing Caden sit up, attempt to crawl and we also got to go and wake Carson up from his nap. Had a fantastic time visiting with them until it was time to go to the show. Headed over to the Porretta house to see Faith, Tom and Maddie. Maddie can now show us where the 'C' is on the piano (she is super smart) She was running around talking away...I was able to get her to say my name and it is actually getting closer to sounding like Jeni :-)
We arrived got out tickets and seats and waited for it to start (Julie still didn't know we were there) The show began and it was great! Carson had a great time watching, he only was really interested when Julie was on stage or when the music was going. He liked watching Julie be 'dizzy' aka her character was drunk and he thought she was silly. She did a great job, I've never seen her sing (heard her through the doors of the sanctuary at our wedding) or be in any musical/play before so it was a fun experience for me. Robbie hadn't see her since high school (I think) so I know he was excited also.
Once the show ended the cast took their final bow and was singing one last time....Janna started to wave at Julie while the orchestra was finishing up their song and then Robbie and I waved also....wait for it....Julie screams and runs off the stage (Orchestra still going...) and runs all the way back to us and gives some of the biggest hugs ever....Greatest reaction ever!
We went out to the after party at the Hickory house to spend some more time with Julie and Mike. It was great to catch up with them :-) After we finished eating (it was after midnight) we headed back to their house and said good night and went to sleep.
The next morning we got up and headed to Picktown for breakfast with Faith and Tom. From there we went to brunch with Joe and Gwen, the Porretta's and the Stanford's. It was a fantastic start to our day...We got to catch up with everyone and spend quality time with them all, it was super short but soooooooo worth it!
Then we headed to good ol' Grove City to visit with my parents. We just laid around and talked, watched some old movie. It was nice, then we had some yummy roast and watched another movie :-) I got to spend some time with my dog Zoe also! After a long day of visiting we said goodbye and went to bed.
Got up and left around 9 am and headed back to Alabama. It took 11 hours and 15 (ish) minutes to get back....I wasn't feeling overly well so it made it seem much longer :-( We came home unloaded the car and went to bed!
We may have only been in Ohio for a day and a half but I wouldn't have traded it for anything! We got to see how much the little ones have grown, catch up with siblings and see our parents, it was awesome :-)
