Yesterday he watched Tianna while I got my hair colored and when I got home he had gone to the store and bought me GORGEOUS flowers since it was closing night.
They are so beautiful and they look so spring-like! Now even though it snowed AGAIN outside today, I at least get to have spring inside.
Then last night Luke came to my show for the 4th time and stayed afterward while we had to strike the set, clean up, and put away all of the costumes. He even helped (practically did) my job for me! Several people commented to me how nice my husband is and how cute!! I totally agree!!
Then today, since I was completely exhausted from the play and staying late for the cast party etc. he let me take a good long nap and when I woke up HE HAD MADE ME CUPCAKES!!! At this present moment he is outside barbecuing some dinner for us on the snow covered grill.
How did I get so lucky to have such an amazing and wonderful husband and such a delightful daughter who makes everyone around her laugh? A quick update on her-- she LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED watching the play. Twice Luke couldn't watch her so I brought her with me the theater and she sat with friends or someone we knew and watched the play without a parent. She was so great to sit still the 6 times she saw it. In fact, all day today she's asked me when we get to go watch "Mommy's play?...Watch Mommy's Joseph again?" She knows the songs and loves to sing them with me. I 'm pretty sure we have a future actress on our hands!
I'm including a picture of the cast gift we gave our directors. It was pretty cool and so i thought I'd share!
A little tid-bit of interesting info too (I'm sure you are all sick of hearing about this play.. but too bad :D hahah) At our last Saturday matinee THE ONE and ONLY casting director for all LDS church films was in attendance. She has heard about the Old Barn Community Theater and when she found out we were doing "Joseph" she contacted our directors to see if they would help her gather information about the cast members to put in her database for upcoming films. She requested that they secretly be really hard on us to see our reactions and how we were on and off stage. Any day now she'll be sending them packets to give to some of us to fill out. It will be interesting to see if any of us end up in some church movies!
In fact, apparently just as they were starting to film a movie their 32 year old Joseph Smith quit and she talked to one of the "brothers" in the Joseph cast about it. Had he been several years older he would be playing Joseph Smith in a movie THIS WEEK!
Then on top of that, last night the casting directors for the church's theater productions came to see the show. Luckily it was our very best performance and we got a standing ovation from the entire audience. It was such a thrill!! I'm so grateful to have been a part of this production. It will be my last play for quite some time........... and what a great show to end on!

Okay, so Mary is totally making me look beter than I really am. Truthfully I have to do those little things just to make up for all the stuff that I don't do, or the stuff I do that I shouldn't!--Luke
I love the music to Joseph - but I have never seen the play. Sad, hun. I wish I would have been able to make it up to Logan to see it, I am sure it was fantastic!
Good Job, Luke! :)
You have such a swhhetheart for a husband, and a humble one too by the comment he made!! lol!! I am glad that your show finished with a bang.
I think that is awesome that you were in the play Mary. I'm sure you did an awesome job. Way to go Luke, that is great that he helps you out so much. We truly miss you guys.
Oh Luke, stop being so modest :) You guys are so cute! And Mary, I'll be keeping an eye out for you on the big screen! I know one of these days, I'll be watching a movie, and blurt out, "HEY! I know her!!!"
That is so great that you have the opportunity to share your beautiful voice. Congrats on the close of another play...and who knows maybe next you'll be given a movie script...
I really wish I could've seen your play!!! It sounds like it was awesome, and I'm sure you did an amazing job!! Luke has always been such a thoughtful guy!! I remember little things from when I was little of taking care of us.
It looks like you had a blast! I wish I could've seen it. :)
