Golden Days

Last night Cory and I had the opportunity to head to Salt Lake to see "Golden Days: A Celebration of Life", or as we like to call it, President Thomas S. Monson's 85th birthday party.  It was a really awesome time!  A bunch of his favorite Broadway hits were performed by the choir and special guest artists.  Steve Young, and some CBS lady shared MC duties. My favorite performance was "Bring Him Home" from Les Miserables, and Cory really loved "Tomorrow" from Annie.  After "Bring Him Home" the crowd gave a standing ovation, and then it seemed like every performance after that also got a standing ovation.  I didn't think "76 Trombones" deserved a standing ovation, but when you see President Monson stand to applaud, you almost feel obligated to follow suit, so we did.  After the show we were just wondering where the cake and ice cream were, but in the end we settled for Applebee's.  Our friend, Joseph Naylor, actually was there with us and sat with us in the balcony even though his ticket was for the main floor.  True friendship!

After the show!
