Thankful for: 

A really fun Saturday. 

Lots of time with Matt.

We went to the movies to see Wicked. We went to the IMAX theater, and I'll never watch a movie in the movie theaters in a regular theater again. It was so nice and clean and comfortable. 

Carry-out kabobs for dinner. It was so delicious. 

Time to sit and watch a show and crochet.
