Last night in the middle of three major storm systems, my mom, sisters, and I went out to dinner and then to see Wicked for all of their birthdays. We were completely soaked by the time we walked through the parking lot as umbrellas did nothing to keep the sideways rain off us. Walking in high-heeled strappy sandals was a bit difficult for all of us and Mel even took off her shoes to make the trip. We were lucky they had to start late because of power problems before the play started or we might have been late. Scott says that the storms were crazy last night with hurricane force winds that blew down many power lines (on our way home there were portions of the highway that were dark because of power outages) and massive flooding. Even with the three times we lost power and the play had to stop while they reset their computers, it was a fantastic show! I think that everyone enjoyed it and I may have created at least one more Wicked obsessed person.
Yesterday I started getting the "Longhorn" room (which doesn't have much that is Texas Longhorns since all of that is down in Houston) packed. Scott handles change better if we do it in small steps so we are packing small bits of the apartment at a time. Everything will be packed away unless it is coming with us to the Caymans by next Thursday so that the movers can move it all to my parents for the garage sale or into the storage unit. Next weekend we will be living in a very empty apartment!
It is a bit scary to think that three weeks from today we will be heading down to the island. I know we are both very ready to get started but it is still scary. As Stephanie pointed out last night, we aren't going to be able to hang out like this anymore. No matter how ready I am to get started in the Caymans, it will be a bit hard to leave family.
