Night on Broadway

Last night our ward had a "Night on Broadway" social for all of the adults. Jake and I were asked to be a part of the performance, along with 3 other newly wed couples. We did a little dance to "Why Do I Love You?" from the musical Showboat. The lady in charge of everything is kind of funny and has made this social her life for the past month. She would hold practices at her house and helped us make up our dance and found these crazy costumes for us. It was all kind of silly, but we actually ended up having a really good time. The whole dance was pretty much just all of us couples swooning over each other and showing a little too much PDA in front of the whole ward. I think we made the audience blush more than we did ourselves! But we made some new friends out of the experience. They had lots of fun performances complete with 7 Brides for 7 Brothers "Bless Her Beautiful Hide" and Oklahoma's "I'm Just a Girl Who Can't Say No".

After the social we had a "cast party" at one of the couple's house with just the couples from our dance. We played games and got to know each other a little better. We discovered that one of the husbands (who lives just two doors down from us) is pretty much an experienced spy. He keeps a (mental) log of all of the cars coming in and out of our complex and what "loot" they've got in the back of their trucks. I can't blame him- we've had some pretty strange things happen around here. Like washers and dryers being stolen out of carports in broad day light (they even stole laundry detergent- they must have been desperate to get some laundry done!) and cops arresting a guy right in front of our mailbox. Don't worry Mom- we're safe. We've only had our laundry detergent stolen. Other than that we love it here!
