Anniversary Continues

This weekend we went to see the play Jesus Christ Sup3r Star at the theater down town. It was awesome! A little history, P and I met at a college dinner and theater night. The first time we saw this it was a college play (kind of lame) and we were a little preoccupied sitting next to each other. We wanted to celebrate our anniversary by going to see this again.

Ted Neel3y played Jesus, and he was amazing. I recognized his voice immediately. He is the original Jesus from the movie, JCSS that came out in the 70's. Here is a picture of him from the movie. He started acting in the play in the early 90's. Obvious both the play and the movie were controversial in their day. Heavy metal guitar, slang lyrics, an undertone of impropriety between Jesus and Mary M. and of course the famous Ted scream. I just realized that Ted has been acting as Jesus longer than Jesus was on the Earth.

Here is a you tube link to a small sample of JCSS. Jesus is in the Garden and he is talking to the Father, questioning why he must die, does it really need to happen? You can feel the anquish in his voice.

We did it

We actually went all out and bought a hot tub this weekend. It's not your typical hot tub, it's doesn't have the formed bucket seats you'd expect. It has a bench-like seat that raps around the tub. Oh, and did i mention it's round! It holds 4 people and has 14 jets. We are really excited about this. It was always a dream to get one and we planned on looking, but we found this and it was in our price range and P loves it. I have to admit that after looking around I was very surprise to find how expensive hot tubs really are, wow.

We will probably have it delivered next week. Our enclosure will not be completed by then so we will hold it in the garage for a while.

Our get-away

We took a mini-vacation over Memorial Day weekend. We went to St Augustine. We have visited the town for short day trips but have never stayed overnight. We stayed in a great bed and breakfast for 2 nights. We had a wonderful time shopping and touring the town. We visited historic churches and the first luxury hotel built in 1888. There are lots of little shops, restaurants and historic sites all intertwined along the main street. We went to our favorite restaurants called Columbia's and Athena's. A Cuban restaurant and Greek restaurant that have fantastic food. Here are a few pictures. The first is the view we had from our private balcony and the second is the room we stayed in.

Our Anniversary

Jeepers, i didn't realize that it's been that long since i last posted.

We celebrated our 15 year anniversary this month. That's a big one. One of those dates you kind of measure where you will be when you first get married. We dreamed we would have a home, have traveled the world and have kids by now. Since we are still working on the kids and we will travel to China some day, we decided to treat ourselves to a huge home improvement. Something that we can spend lots of time relaxing and entertaining in.

We are building a large screened in patio in our back yard. We have a very small back yard that we never utilize, so we wanted something to use as an extension of our home, maybe a second living room. It will be 26'x14' with a screened enclosure. We also have plans on buying a hot tub.
I will upload pictures when it is completed.
