A Night at the Opera

Last night we went to BYU and saw the opera Don Giovanni in which Benjamin played one of the leads, Leporello. He did a wonderful job and it was all really well-done. He is so talented and it was so fun to see him in this role - his character provided a lot of the comic relief in the opera and (we think) he got more applause than anyone! Way to go, Benjamin!


Jonathan's entire family (well, almost - we missed you, Tessems! And of course Jared too, who is on his mission) was there along with some cousins, and my sister Liz came along with us, too. What a fun evening!

Liz rode home to Salt Lake with us and was very happy to see our sleepy boy, who stayed with Grandma and Grandpa

Oh and p.s. in other news - I got whistled at at the gas station. I just had to share because it was really funny and that has never happened to me before! And Jonathan was even sitting in the passenger's seat of the car when it happened - I guess whoever it was didn't notice him. It was funny because I had my hair pulled back, but it was bugging me so I took it out and kind of shook my hair to straighten it out, and then I heard the whistle. It reminded me of this one time when my best friend Janina and I were driving somewhere in her car, and there was a car full of guys next to us kind of checking us (well, probably her) out, so she flashed her huge, gorgeous ring at them. That put a stop to that!
