The Start of Something New
Sunday, June 1, 2008
Heidi and I are lucky enough to get the chance to go out on a date once a week. We have a group of friends that we rotate babysitting with, so that gives three nights a month. Usually we have the same routine and it’s easy to stick with what you know.
But this week, I said to Heidi “we’re breaking free!” 
We work our tails off every day, why not have a really fun night with High School Musical, the Broadway show? When we came through the doors, I have to admit feeling somewhat out of place because it appeared that the only adults in attendance were either accompanied by little girls (ages 4-10) or by pre-teen girls. That’s when I realized this was definitely the start of something new.
But I thought to myself, “Hey it’s cool, we’re all in this together…just here to have some fun.”
How was the play you ask? It was, in a word, fabulous. At first I had my doubts, but as I threw away my inhibitions I really got into it. I mean, anything can happen if you take a chance. So even though personally I don’t dance, I can appreciate those who do. After all, everyone loves a good jazz square.
After our great evening together, I’ve learned that it’s boring to stick to the status quo. I think I finally found what I’ve been looking for, and everyday from right now I’ve decided to plan more exciting dates.

You and Geoff might be the only grown men that love High School Musical. I love all the inuendo, you are one clever guy.

Greg, I must say that your dates overall seem very thoughtful. Great Job! and Heidi, great picture! Only 4 1/2 weeks to go!

Way to break free, Greg! Looks like Heidi's belly is breaking free is well.

Luckily we have these good friends who introduced us to the world of high school musical...we've watched it 3 times this weekend, otherwise i would have had no clue what you were talking about.

heidi! i love your blog (and i'm so glad i blog-stalked you through heather and richard's blog). i especially love this post - i always feel weird that i like high school musical and have no kids... anyway, i'm super jealous, i think i would have to drug my husband to get him to go to something like that.
it looks like you are doing so well, and that is awesome.
remember that one time we had a humanities class together? good times.
