Our first date (after having 3 kids)

Mackenzie took our picture as we headed out to an opera.  Our Ayi watched the kids and we headed to Puccini's Manon Lescaut.  Andrea scored some tickets ($100+ each!) from a friend and we headed to hear our first Italian opera.  Which actually means that everything is in Italian.  I was very confused for at least the first 10 minutes, but I talked Andrea out of making me wear a tie and really enjoyed it.  We felt kind of bad after talking with the music teacher at our school, his love of Puccini is the same as Andrea's love for MSU yet we took the tickets.  I would have rather tailgated, but it was a good experience.
