A Catch up post

Well the last few days have been all kinds of fun, busy, and disturbingly Hot!  Apparently this weekend will be the hottest we've had in 6 years!  I can't even imagine, since becoming pregnant my tolerance for hot weather *which has never been very good I'm a fall/winter/spring girl all the way* has pretty much gone down to Zero.

Well Wednesday was just about the best girls day Ever and I am completely and totally sure of that because I enjoyed myself So much I forgot to take Any pictures, seriously not one I don't even think I pulled out my phone.  It started out with mom and I getting ready and husband bringing us burger king breakfast *can you say guilty pleasure?* then we headed over to my aunt Dianna's house and we all piled in her van after hugging and laughing *when we're together we sound like the witches from Macbeth cackling and stuff except we sound like we've also been smoking for 40+ years when none of us has ever smoked lol* and oohing and ahhing over each others clothes and hair and what not.  We then went to a quick lunch to Strings for some awesome Italian food and as usual great service *I am there to much the waitress had no problem touching my stomach as soon as we told her I was pregnant and telling me to bring sonogram pictures next time* after completely Stuffing ourselves we got to our real destination the little beauty supply store that also sells Miche Bags it turns out Miche is going back to only parties and online sales so everything was 40% Off we were sooo excited we each ended up getting a purse and a cover at a crazy good bargain!  I have to say a HUGE thank you to my mommy who got me mine she is so sweet!

This is a really bad picture of my Miche with the cover on, I Love it!  A better one will come!

Then we went to a book store, thrift store, walmart and did a little shopping, Kmart, then Lowes to get me an Air Conditioner *because ya know I'm a grown up now* after that we decided to drive an extra hour just to see a movie!  We got there in plenty of time to get movie snacks like nachos, popcorn, and soda.  And saw the most amazing movie, it was so sweet and so good!  Perfect for any married couple, girls our with their friends, or anyone who is likes to see a real marriage portrayed and see what it takes to keep a real marriage going we saw the film...

Another amazing Meryl Streep movie and Tommy Lee Jones was as fabulous as always!  Steve Carrell was hilarious and just perfect for the part he played.  You laughed, you maybe cried, you walked away touched with a perfect sense of what real Love is.  That it's not just fuzzy feelings and chemistry, it's hard work, forgiveness, respect, listening, and most of all commitment.  Not just commitment not to cheat or do someone wrong but commitment to work through any problem or obstacle that comes your way.

 

We ended the night with a couple quick stops at Marshalls and Ross, it was an amazing laughter filled day and night with my two best friends ♥

Now today my dad and my husband are hooking up our brand new air conditioner and thoroughly destroying my house...but that's ok lol anything to help with 107 degree days.  Stephen and I have a big to do list today we're going down to the bay area tonight and staying in a hotel and then tomorrow morning going to Mountain View where he does his Reserve duty for 'Family Day' on our extremely limited budget.  Now I've never actually been able to go to any family day like events while he's been in the military because I was almost always a few continents away.  I'm very very nervous but so happy that I can be there for him.  I just want to make him proud and fit in as normally as possible.  Standing out can be bad lol.  But also I'm a little nervous because he wants to try and stay the whole time from 9-3 because he feels weird about leaving early *I'm pretty sure they wouldn't stone him or anything but hey I'd be a bit nervous to if I was still the new guy* but I have to look at this realistically I'm like 4 months pregnant I get hot Very easily and that's quite a while to be outside for me, and not only that but I tend to get sick...All.The.Time. I just don't want to embarrass him, I want to be a help not a hindrance.  So I would really appreciate some prayers!

A Fine Friday

Today I woke up with crazy amounts of energy *much to the dismay of my poor sleepy husband* ever since I stepped out of bed this morning I've been cleaning and moving things and trying to prepare our room for the upcoming projects that I know we have.  It's irritating though when you're just waiting for more funds to do said projects it is actually one of the more frustrating things in life I think.  But I found a good distraction!  A movie trailer for the October film "The Big Wedding" it looks to be like another awesome and funny Romantic comedy and I just love Diane Keaton *did I spell that right?* So until I can get some projects done and out of the way I'm going to content *I mean try to be content* with packing up little things and nicknacks and making more and more lists, and maybe goofing around on the internet a bit!  What are you doing this fine Friday?

Wrath of The Titans Review

I don't usually do movie reviews on this blog but my husband and I LOVE movies, we are movie people.  That is pretty much our idea of a date  

*and maybe sometimes we go to the store and buy a couple of 40 ozs and pretend we're teenagers sneaking them in and ya know that we still have hopes and dreams and stuff...it's super fun*

But we saw a couple of really good movies in the past few weeks that seem to be getting bad reviews and I just felt the need to stick up for them and voice my opinion!  So now you will be reading all about 

Wrath Of The Titans

Sam Worthington is a wonderful actor and just amazing for action movies I think, this movie kept me interested the whole time.  Something was always happening!  It was a 3D movie and while I usually can't tell the difference or see the point of a 3D movie this was definitely an exception it actually felt like I was in the movie!  Very interesting!  The graphics are wonderful!  I'm a hard core Greek mythology nerd so it's always a little hard for me to swallow what they do to the classic myths, gods, and goddesses but it was a great movie and definitely one I would want to own on DVD.

This sequel introduced a few new characters one of which *and my personal favorite* was The Navigator Perseus' cousin and the son of Poseidon.  He provides wonderful comic relief all through out the film and I found his character to be reminiscent of Captain Jack Sparrow!  And really who didn't love Captain Jack?

Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes are back as the warring brothers Zeus and Hades and do an excellent job looking *and acting* like brothers!

Now I don't know if you saw the first film Clash of The Titans *by the way it is not necessary to see the first to understand Wrath* but it was really disappointing Wrath of The Titans came together much better, the story tied up nicely in the end but still kept you wondering from beginning to end.

Although I will say I prefer Sam Worthington with short hair like he had in Clash 

*could be a side affect of my husband having hair like that after being in the Army for so long*

In both movies I must say the only change I really loved to the original myths was that they made Pegasus the winged horse black I thought it was much more beautiful and just really added something to the movie.

Another  big selling point for me was the fact that they added to Perseus' character in Wrath by explaining that he in fact married IO *his love interest from Clash* and that she'd passed away.  Now I was saddened by this but I was really happy that they didn't just write her out or that he just fell in love with someone new but it showed they had a loving marriage.  Makes me a fan all the more!  Because that love story in the first movie was Clash's only saving grace.

So all in all Wrath Of The Titans was a good film, with an amazing cast, I didn't want to spoil the movie to much so I tried to remain pretty vague *did it work?* it was definitely better than the Clash of The Titans remake...BUT NEITHER of these movies can ever come close to the Film that was the ORIGINAL Clash of the Titans *pictured above* if you've never seen go get on netflix or amazon and order it!  It is ALWAYS worth watching!
