Today, December 14th, is Rick's and my anniversary. We have been married for 2 great years. To celebrate, last night we went to Ballet West's Nutcracker. Prior, we went to PF Chang's for dinner. It was wonderful.
For those of you not in Utah, it snowed yesterday. It was a beautiful way to cover all the ugly ground. It was mighty cold too. We decided to walk from PF Chang's to Capital theater as it is only 2.5 blocks away. The north wind was blowing and it was snowing on our way there but it had cleared up for our walk back. During our walk, we walked past the Peery Hotel, where we spent our first night as a married couple.
The ballet was incredible. I can't even begin to describe the costumes. They were the best part in my opinion. They made my eyes so happy. The dancing was incredible too. The "cavalier" to the Sugar Plum Fairy (see photo below) who both also danced in the Grand Pas de Deux was here for that show and only 3 more. He is some dancer who has danced with the Slovakian and Hungarian Ballets along with some other big name international ones. He really was by far the best dancer.
I couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate our anniversary.
