So today my family got here. I was woken up at 10 am from the text from my mother saying that they were here. My sister, mother and grandmother came to somewhat celebrate my birthday (somewhat because they will not actually be here on my birthday). We started the day off with going to the one thing everyone wanted: a diner. We had our breakfast foods and they wanted me to give them a tour of Sloan- Kettering. Side note: my grandmother is on the phone with my grandfather (they have been married 57 years), and she is telling him how much she misses him... and how much she loves him. It makes me happy to know that kind of relationship exists :) Anyway, I gave them a tour of the hospital and lab where I work and then we slept back at the hotel for a couple hours. We went to the Wicked lottery and there were over 200 people all trying to sign up for the lottery. Although odds were against us, I guess the crowd didn't know the power of prayer :) My little 80 year old grandma was in the back of the crowd leaning against a support beam praying and all of a sudden they called her name. Simultaneously the entire crowd looked back and started cheering for her as they parted a way for her to come to the front. It was very cool and my grandmother and sister sat first row center. My mother and I had to pay a whopping $126 a ticket, but we were also lucky since we were in the sixth row center (normally a $300 ticket). All in all it was a great time. My grandmother loved the show and couldn't get over how creative it was. For me, this was the fourth time seeing Wicked and I would have to say they did a great job. Tomorrow we have a full itinerary planned, so I think some sleep is in order. Here is a picture to leave you with.
