No, I'm not talking about us. We went to see the play Beauty and the Beast at The Muny (http://www.muny.org/)! One of the seminary students told us that we had to go to The Muny. It's an outdoor amphitheater where they put on Broadway plays in the Summer. I was so excited, I told Patrick he had to take me if they happened to show Beauty and the Beast (My favorite Disney movie, that I already saw on Broadway). Guess what play they showed the next week....you guessed it....Beauty and the Beast (Let me just mention that The Muny has been around for years and this is the first time they have shown Beauty and the Beast...Thanks God!). So, that's not even the coolest part. We get there at 7:15. The play starts at 8:00. We had hopes of getting the free seats (where you have to use binoculars), however, come to find out you have to be in line for those at 5ish. As we turned to walk away Patrick could see the disappointment in my face. We couldn't afford the tickets....but...we got in line for tickets anyway. We stood in the ticket line for 30 minutes. We were almost to the window when this nice old man walked up to us and said,"Is this the line for tickets?". I replied, "Yes". "Well it's your lucky day because I happen to have two extra tickets. They are good tickets!" We tried to give him money but he wouldn't take it.
See the excitement on my face! Doesn't Patrick look just as thrilled (a trooper that ended up enjoying the show).
So here is a picture of the stage from our seats. May not look great but this is the section right behind the box office($40/person). Wish I could have taken pictures during the play, but it's not allowed. Let me tell you, it was awesome! I thought no way will it be as good as the one in New York with all the dancing plates and bling during "Be Our Guest" however, it was! It was just like the movie, and the people sounded the same. We couldn't thank the people enough for our tickets. They were so nice, we stayed after the show and talked with them for a while. I sang the songs the whole way home. I LOVED IT!
Coming soon: Pictures of our place and 4th of July cookout

Cool story! It's amazing how God knows our hearts and provides when we need uplifting the most.
