Sadness....

I am finding more and more that this world is FILLED with sadness.  It is impossible to escape.  This past week has brought a lot of sadness and heart ache for me and I am ready to make a change.  Since I can't escape the sadness I am working on focusing on the joy.  With sadness there is a lot of joy in this world.  This is one of my moments of joy:

Clear back for Mothers Day I received a special gift.  It came in the form of a crossword puzzle and when I finished filling it all out I was supposed to read through all the words and guess what they all had in common and then I would know my gift.  Turns out I got two tickets to Wicked in Denver.  A play I have been dyeing to see and missed my opportunity to see it in Salt Lake this year.

We dropped Chase off in Moab (again- I'm SUCH a great daughter, dropping my son off to my parents all the time), and drove to Denver.  It was a quick trip.  We went to the play, ate dinner, slept, and went and saw the temple in the morning and headed back home, but it brought a lot of joy to me.  We didn't take many pictures or I probably would have posted something about it earlier.  These are the only pictures from that trip.
