Que me des tu cariño...

You know how sometimes you're having so much fun you forget to take pictures, and then later you're like, "oh no!"?

This was one of those. Got to see Juan Luis Guerra in concert with Mi Cariño, Analiz and Wilken. Mi Cariño and I sat in a different tier, so really we saw it alone and said hi during intermission. It was in Radio City Music Hall. It was my first time. He sang a lot of my favorite songs - not all of them because he has too many that I love. I'm so glad that this is something that Mi Cariño and I share.

For your enjoyment, someone else's view of some of the songs, since I don't have pictures of the evening really. I have my own videos of Juan Luis that night, but those... those are just mine and my baby's.

Two Years Look Like This

Two years ago I met Mi Cariño in person for the very first time. The night is still very well etched in my memory. We like celebrating it - not a big deal, just a special day for the two of us were we reaffirm our love, what we care about, what we hope for the future.

So today we just spent the day together in New York City - we walked around Midtown and ate at The Gemini Diner before grabbing a cab back to the Theater District. Our cab ride was a little scary since it hit a woman when making a right on Madison Avenue. We got out, waited for a cop and an ambulance. We stuck around to let the cops know that the cab turned when it was green and then decided we'd walk the rest of the way.

We tried out for Wicked Lottery tickets, but alas we didn't win. Right next to it Godspell's Lottery starts just as Wicked's ends and so we decided to give it a try. It was a good thing indeed since I was lucky enough to win two tickets!

Lottery winners seat all around the stage on this cushions. Not super comfortable but not bad either. Mi Cariño prefers to sit on the edge of rows which is a good thing since during the Show, they pulled audience members to come to the stage and she was one of the chosen ones. She was adorable and poised, improvising her clues for the charades in a clever way while getting to "act" with Hunter Parrish who was playing Jesus. I would've turned to mush, but she held her own beautifully. After the show we stuck around and she got to take a picture with him.

A not-at-all planned day that was perfect for us (not so much the cab driver and that lady crossing the street.) Here's to hopefully many, many more years together.
