And in conclusion...

When I got married, one of my favorite wedding presents I received was a bottle of champagne that my close friends had brought back to me from Paris. Cory and I thought it was such a cool gift, that we decided to save it and open it on our 1st wedding anniversary. Well, by the time that day had arrived, we had had too much to eat and drink at dinner and since it was such a special bottle of champagne, we decided to wait until our 2nd anniversary.

Fast forward to a year later, and we were out of town for our special day so we decided FOR SURE to drink it on our 3rd year anniversary. But before that day came we had moved to Chicago and Cory said, "Hey, we NEVER end up drinking this on our anniversary, so why don't we open it when you get into your first show here." Which sounded fabulous to me, since I figured I would get into a show in no time.

Well, no time became long time and every day I would see the bottle in my fridge, taunting me and reminding me that I hadn't gotten cast into a show yet. I kept thinking, any day now! But any day now became months which became a year which became...You get the idea.

Well, folks...It's been almost 2 years (literally 3 days shy) to the day that we moved to Chicago and tonight I finally....FINALLY... got to open that damn bottle.

And it was the most delicious glass of champagne that has ever graced my lips.
