May 13th, 2017

Today was both a lazy day and a busy day. It started off rather lazy. The both of us had a crazy busy work week with late hours and long shifts, so we slept in rather late. It was really nice, lol. Once we were finally up and moving we headed out to pick up some supplies for Rachael's birthday cake. We ran around to like three different places (and stopped by home) before heading back to Scott's house. It was hot out and we were feeling a bit tired after all the running around, so after we had put the cake in the oven to bake we decided to relax for a little bit. Mike decided to go swimming in their beautiful, in-ground pool while I sat nearby reading. The dogs enjoyed the lovely weather with us out in the yard too! Mike had a lot of fun using the diving board and the slide connected to the pool. He had me record a bunch of videos of him, along with some underwater shots!

We headed back inside to frost the cake and also get ready to leave. You see, we were headed downtown to see the Rent 20th Anniversary Tour! I have loved Rent since I was in middle school. Seriously—I know the words to every song and can practically quote all the lines from the movie adaption. I have dreamt of seeing the musical live for years...and tonight I finally got to go! We had lovely seats up on the second floor balcony with a perfect view of the stage. The show itself was just amazing. Everything I had hoped it would be and more! I loved every moment and didn't ever want it to end. :)

After the musical we headed home to work on the cake some more. It took a lot longer than we thought it would, but it turned out so fantastic. We made a "stacked books" cake for Rach's 24th Birthday (which is tomorrow). The books were even edible—made completely out of rice crispy treats and fondant! We had a lot of fun blasting music and dancing all around while we worked late into the night. I always have so much fun baking with my cutie. :)

Happy Easter!! 🐰

Today we woke up and gave each other our baskets! As usual, they were incredibly adorable. :) I also hide twenty eggs for Michael, all filled with cute little messages. He loved searching all over our home to find them!

We went church-hopping today. 😎 First we headed to IBC to attend mass with Mike's side of the family. Then we rushed over to St. Cyril's in Lemont to attend my church! Both masses were very beautiful. God is good.

After church we headed to a cute little park where we had a mini photoshoot in our Easter clothes. They all turned out so adorable and I already want to frame like eight of them! 😍

In the evening, my darling spoiled me with tickets to Broadway's Aladdin The Musical! 💓🎶 And boy, what an AMAZING show!! Absolutely breathtaking. I definitely need to see more Disney musicals this year!
