We bought our tickets for July 30 last night and I’m getting excited! I deferred to the men on choosing a restaurant for supper before the show and they picked the Texas Roadhouse. It is shaping up to be quite a fun and laidback outing!

How I did it: As my first graduation (as an instructor) approached, I asked what I could do to help. My colleague who was coordinating the ceremony asked jokingly, "You don't play the piano, do you?" I only received the sheet music about 10 days before graduation, so I practiced 6-7 times in those days so that I would be ready.
