Easy A...

If you have not seen the movie Easy A...YOU SHOULD!
I wasn't very hyped about it when I saw the preview for it or while it was in theaters, but tonight husband and I had a date night which consisted of Applebees-paid for with a giftcard Christmas presant (Thank you in-laws!) and movie rental...I know, I know-SOOO romantic.

After completely stuffing my face with a club sandwich, french fries and a triple chocolate meltdown (It is as good as it sounds) we went to the Family Video.  I don't know why Jake still takes me to places like the video rental store, because it takes me two days to decide what to rent.  I walk down every aisle, I pick up movies we've seen a thousand times, I pick up movies that we own, I look at new releases, I want them all but at the same time don't think any of them sound right for the mood I'm in...EVER!  I roam and roam and then usually out of no where a beam of light illuminates one dvd that has escaped my attention and I hear music from my life's sound track and know without a shadow of a doubt that that is the movie we are renting that night.  Anyway, no such luck tonight.  I remembered seeing a commercial for Easy A just the other day advertising that it was coming out this week, so I thought, what the heck? One free rental coupon later, it is going into our dvd player.

I had absolutely no expectations for this movie, but Husband and I laughed and laughed.  I thought Olive's parents where the funniest part, and found myself hoping that Jake and I will one day be as funny of parents as hers were.  I will warn you, the language in some parts was hard to listen to because the repetition of a certain few words, but overall I'm so happy we rented it! Emma Stone is now one of my new favs, she's so pretty and so likable. Ohh, and Penn Badgley is so fun to look at for an hour and half too.  I would recommend it to everyone, unless of course you are under the age of 13, in that case, take it up with the movie rating people.

Tuesday's Tunes...

So I stole this idea from my friend Terah, who said that she wanted to start doing a Tuesday's Tunes post...Anyway, The tune for this very first Tuesday's Tunes is:

Then I look at You

Miley Cyrus

Everybody needs inspiration,
Everbody needs a song.
A beautiful melody,
When the night's so long.
Cause there is no guarantee,
That this life is easy.

Yeah when my world is falling apart.
When there's no light to break up the dark,
That's when I, I, I look at you.
When the waves are flooding the shore,
and I can't find my way home anymore.
That's when I, I, I look at you.

When I look at you,
I see forgiveness,
I see the truth.
You love me for who I am,
Like the stars hold the moon,
Right there where they belong.
and I know im not alone.

Yeah when my world is falling apart,
When there's no light to break up the dark,
That's when I, I, I look at you.
When the waves are flooding the shore,
and I can't find my way home anymore,
That's when I, I, I look at you.

You, appear just like a dream to me.
Just like kaleidoscope colors,
That cover me,
All I need,
Every breath that I breathe,
Don't you know you're beautiful!

Yeah

When the waves are flooding the shore,
and I can't find my way home anymore,
That's when I, I, I look at you.
I look at you, Yeah, Woah.

You, appear just like a dream to me.

Last night I went and saw the movie The Last Song with a friend and it was SOOO good! This was the song that played at the end credits, and I loved it too! In the movie Miley Cyrus plays Ronnie who is sent to live with her Dad for the summer. Her mom and dad divorced several years earlier and Ronnie has been angry every since. She quit playing the piano which was a huge part of who she was. Ronnie sets out to save some sea turtle eggs that she finds from a raccoon and meets Will. I love the relationship she has with Will. In so many movies you see unrealistic romances and these grand gestures but their relationship is very real in this movie. I also like the relationship Ronnie was with her father who is terminally ill with cancer. This movie was very touching, I cried through like half of it. I would recommend it to everyone!

Right time, wrong place...

Jake and I are spending a couple of days in Atlanta just to get away from everything that waits for us at home. It's been so nice to not have to worry about being anywhere or do anything at a particular time...no one expects anything from us and we are free to do what we want.

Last night we decided that we wanted to go see the new movie Robin Hood. We've both been looking forward to seeing it for several weeks and so we were really excited to actually go. We stopped to get subway on the way and thought we could fit both sandwiches and drinks in my purse to get them into the theater. WRONG! We got to the theater and easily got the sandwiches into my large bag, but could not get the drinks in there...waste of money! So we go and buy our tickets with giftcards that we both had leftover and only had to pay $1 to get into the movie...sweet! I agreed to buy a drink inside the theater for us to share and Jake bought popcorn as our side dish to our sandwiches...love him :) We go into the Robin Hood theater and the movie had already started, which we thought was weird because we were only like 5 minutes late walking in and there were no previews. We started eating our sandwiches and watching the movie and we were totally lost as to what was happening and who everyone in the movie was! We kept asking each other questions and neither one of us knew the answers. We ate our sandwiches and munched on our popcorn and I finally just decided to accept what was happening in the movie for just what it was and stopped trying to figure it out and then the screen comes up that says "And the Legend Begins..." followed by the closing credits. I was like That's it? and Jake said yeah, these are the closing credits. I asked what time it was and it was only 10:05...we walked into the theater at 9:05...this movie couldn't possibly 1 hour! We couldn't figure out what was going on...we walked back outside and and noticed that there were two theaters that were playing Robin Hood and we had walked into the wrong one right in the middle of the movie! Crap! the next showing wasn't for another 35 minutes so we went outside and told the theater people what happened and they told us we could stay for the next showing. We did and in the middle of the second showing there was a commotion! Two rows back from us a guy was yelling that the guy behind him had punched him in the back of the head and like 5 police came into the theater and escorted them out...we left during the second showing at the part that we came in at during the first one...so we saw the whole movie we just saw it backwards essentially. We had a good laugh over the whole thing and will now pay more attention to our theater number.

I love Jake

Back to the Future...

I have been such a slacker! This is what happened to my last blog, I just trailed off, but I'm determined not to let that happen to this one, so here is my continuing effort to keep this blog alive.

Well, first I'll take you back to the last month of my life that I've let get away from me...

Event #1: I got a speeding ticket for 51 mph in a 35 mph zone...NOT GOOD! I don't even recognize a cop when they're on a motorcycle, it's not like it's written in big letters on the side like it is when they are in cars...c'mon, it's not even fair! Second, I wasn't going that far over the speed limit, I think he made that up...My speedometer said that I was going 45...still speeding, but not as much. When he pulled me over he said that I slowed down when I saw him, also untrue! I didn't even know he was cop, why would I slow down? Whatever dumb cop on a motorcycle, I know people...and I'm getting my ticket reduced to five over the speed limit so I just have pay court costs and my insurance will not go up, thank goodness!

Event #2: I found my wedding dress!!! It's so pretty! I would post pictures, but Jake reads this and I don't want him to see it! Anyway, it's different. I feel like every wedding I go to every bride is wearing the same dress...There is never anything that stands out to me about them, and this dress does that, I wanted it to be something different that no one will have seen before, and I accomplished that and I love it!

Event #3: MY BIRTHDAY WEEK! That's right, I celebrate my birthday for a whole week, and Jake is so sweet that he goes along with this idea. Tuesday we got Bojangles for dinner...yes, Bojangles was part of the celebration because we weren't supposed to by going out for dinner that night, but as luck would have it Jake stumbled across a twenty dollar bill, and that day numero uno.

On Wednesday we went out to my parent's house to celebrate with them. Before we left Jordan and Jake both gave me presents! I love presents and surprises! Jordan got me season 3 of Grey's Anatomy, which is the only one that I didn't have. This was an even bigger present then it sounds like because Jordan s kind of a cheapskate. I went to Target with her because she wanted me to point out things that I might want. We came across a movie that she said she heard was good but that since it was $20 dollars she really hoped that I didn't want that. I then went to go and see if Grey's was in stock because I've wanted it for a while and I told Jordan that is was but that it was over twice her limit. I left because I had to go somewhere and surprise, she bought me the season...she described it as "the hardest thing she's ever done." Jake got me Alvin and the Chipmunks the squeakuel :-) I've wanted this movie but I've been trying to do better about not spending as much money and so I haven't bought it, but I love it and can't wait to watch it with him again once our finals are over!

Thursday was my actual birthday and I had to go to class and work that day...LAME! I hate my job but Jake was a sweetheart again and brought our puppy Doc to visit me at work along with flowers that he had picked up! I love when he brings me flowers! The Vaughn's also came to my work with a cute present of Resee cups and a balloon which was really nice of them.

On Friday we went to the temple with our ward and Jake gave me my biggest birthday present! He bought me brand new scripture that I LOVE! In October we are going to take them back and have my married name inscribed on them :-)

Saturday was a fun day too! We had a Day of Service and I pretty much spent all day at this alternative school cleaning of the grounds with Jake and his family and some other people from church. Later we went for my birthday day dinner at The Cheesecake Factory, yum! Jake had never been there before and he really liked it! Jordan got into a car accident that night which was a little scary but everyone is ok. The car is not ok, but everything important was.

That was pretty much the end of my birthday week, I know it wasn't really an entire week, but the older you get the more your birthday feels like every regular day, so I'm thankful that Jake makes it feel special along four other days so that it is still fun!

Now Back to the Future:

Today in one of my classes we had guest speakers from our colleges graduate program, and the things they said made me want to go to grad school! That's crazy, because I hate school, and I'm definitely not planning to do it right away, we have four years before Jake finishes his undergrad and I would at least wait for him to do that. I don't even think that I want a masters degree in the same thing that I'm getting my undergrad in. I'm not sure what degree I want, but it's something to think about.

The wedding is coming up...I know it's still five months away, but as Jake pointed out about 30 minutes ago, it's really not that far. There is so much to do! I'm glad I have all summer of not taking classes to plan. I've picked out bridesmaids dresses, they are so cute and yellow. I've bought the bridesmaids bracelets that are also so sweet. I've picked out my dress and I have a tentative location for this event. I have a bridal shower coming up at the end of June which I'm super stoked about and lots to look forward to. I have cruise that leaves two days after I get married that is going to be so fun I can hardly wait! Jakes brother Justin and his soon to be cute wife Ashley are going with us which will make it even more fun to have other people to hang out with!

I heard the other day about someone whose job requires them to travel a lot, like a different city, state, or country every weekend! I would love to travel and see all the places that this person gets to see! Today, I think that I would like to see Italy...
