La Traviata

Brandon surprised me with Opera tickets to see Guiseppe Verdi's La Traviata, it was our first opera and we really enjoyed it. It was really nice to go out on a real date and spend some time together. We went out to eat at Flemmings before the show and had some pricey but oh so worth it steak (Brandon) and veal (me) and this "you can die now" chocolate lava cake. It was really needed, he was just about finished with finals after the hardest semester of his life.

Sometimes you just gotta spoil yourself. When you spoil yourself, you should go all out. Right? Well that's what I keep telling my guilty conscience.

Ahoy!

This is why I love living my sister, she's like, "we're doing a photo shoot on this dock by my house come down now!"
