An aside: You may have figured it out by now but the ending of the part often gives a spoiler or hint as to what is coming next.

So, I’m not a huge musical fan or even really go to the movies at all but something that came up in one of our phone calls (our first phone call was 12/5) is that she loves the musical Wicked and heard that the movie was really good. I like trying new things so I figured, well why not watch it together (the movie is actually really good and the soundtrack even better).

Anyway, we met up at the movie theater. I had finished work and left immediately, so I can make it for the movie. She was there a bit before me and went to use the restroom. I grabbed us a small popcorn (which was huge) and led us to Auditorium 8. We laughed together throughout the movie, making funny remarks on some of the scenes. After the movie, we ended up grabbing something to eat from California Fish Grill and then going for a nice walk together. We sat and chatted a bit in a sleigh that they had outside for Christmas and then called it a night.

It was a day full of color and excitement.

P.S. Yes, I actually kept the movie stubs
