20 September 2019 is the date the CJ and Phil officially became husband and wife in a simple ceremony at the courthouse in Bloomington in the presence of a few friends. They delighted in taking their eleven year relationship to the next level in a simple ceremony at noon and enjoying the rest of the day savoring a beautiful day in their adopted hometown. We’re thrilled for them and wish them an incredible life together!
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.
The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
Many blessings on the happy couple for a long and happy life together!
