Don't Cry For Me!

I still can't believe I'm writing these words, but I got a pair of tickets for Eric and I to see the Broadway revival of Evita on June 29, 2027! Doesn't seem real. Got an email on May 29th with a presale code, called, and had tickets in last than 5 minutes. To say that I feel blessed and grateful is the understatement of the year. The New York trip for my birthday next year is probably going to end up being one of the defining times of my life. So overwhelmed right now, but in the best way possible.

Went to New York last year for my birthday with Eric.. That it was the perfect trip goes without saying.

Saw the original Broadway cast of Water For Elephants, which was absolutely incredible, went to The MoMA, and saw one of the most famous paintings in the world. Still cannot believe I saw Starry Night in person. What an honor!

Apparently, Santa got confused what day it was. Saw Fleetwood Mac's iconic album Rumors on the floor of the hotel the morning of my birthday, and Eric said that Santa brought it overnight. I still think he gave it to me for my birthday, but it's kind of cool to think that Santa made a special trip just for me.

Great food, too, putting aside the fact that I almost died, of course. See picture above.

Unforgettable experience.

Had been asking Eric to go to New York for quite a while, but the timing was just never right. When a revival of Sweeney Todd was announced, we both jumped At the chance. What an amazing trip! The show was spectacular, got to stroll Central Park with my best friend, had some fabulous food, and just let the joy of the city overtake me. Oh, and I got Ramin's autograph! We didn't go to see him in funny Girl, but I explained that I was a huge fan to the security guard outside the theater, and he was nice enough to talk to Ramin for me. Couldn't come out himself at that moment, but was nice enough to sign his John Hancock to a playbill. Absolutely magical, unforgettable trip!

Can't believe I never posted about seeing the actual concert! How ridiculous! Long story very short, the show was absolutely incredible. We were so close, and Ramin even looked at me and smiled at one point. Unforgettable, even with the $60 cheesecake that tasted like cardboard.

So ends another trip. Never fear, I went back earlier this week, and will be sharing those pictures soon.

Went to New York for the first time five years ago today. In hindsight, this is my least favorite trip, but it was still magical.

I Can't Believe It!

I can't believe I'm going to see Ramin in concert in New York! So surreal! Counting the days!
