Dark Knight ... Again

On Monday night Jason and I went to see the Dark Knight again, but with a different group of friends this time around. I must say that watching it for the second time was much better than the first. Maybe it's because I was able to pick up on more things this time or perhaps because I could follow the storyline better since I knew where it was headed. Anyway, I've gotten off the fence and decided that I like this movie quite a lot. I still want to see the one that came before it as that will probably help me understand things even better and, of course, I still wish for a better ending. Once again, though, that's just my fairytale side talking.

Cedar Point

So, Jason and I went to the Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio over the weekend. We went with a group of people from our college group at church. We all left on Thursday and came back on Sunday. We had a really great trip and I LOVED the park. There was so much to do there! We stayed in a hotel right on the Cedar Point grounds which was pretty cool. The whole thing (park and hotel) was located on Lake Erie. I was really excited about that as I have never seen any of the Great Lakes before.

Last night we went to see Dark Knight in the IMAX theater with a group of friends. I'm still on the fence about the movie overall. It was really long and really dark, but there were definitely some great scenes and some funny parts. It was the first Batman movie that I have ever seen, so maybe I should reserve judgement until I see the others.

Funny story (well, it is to me anyway):

The other day I was at the mall with my little sister and I convinced her to go to the bookstore with me (which she hates) so I could pre-order Breaking Dawn. When the lady at the customer service desks realizes what book I am pre-ordering she starts telling us about their midnight release for the book and the big party that they are going to have. Here is the conversation that my sister and I had when we left the store:

Me: So, do you want to go to the midnight release with me?
Jen: I don't wanna go to that. There's gonna be a bunch of nerds there. (in a high voice) Oh,
goody, a book is coming out!
Me: Umm.... thanks.

Ha ha ha!! Okay, maybe you had to be there, but I thought it was hilarious!

Design Star

If you don't watch Design Star on HGTV, you should. This season it is taking place in Nashville, which makes it that much cooler.




This is Matt and he's the one I'm pulling for this season. He's pretty much amazing.

I love my husband!

Here are the top 5 reasons why i love my husband this week:

1. He went to Kroger to pick up something for himself and came back with a pint of my very favorite flavor of Ben and Jerry's.

2. Yesterday while I was at work he cleaned the house and did all of the laundry. Note: he does this a lot and that makes me a VERY happy wife.

3. He filled up my new little travel bottles with my shampoo and conditioner (without me asking) so that they would be ready for me to take on our trip this week. (I noticed them sitting on the counter this morning. It really is the little things that make all the difference!)

4. He let me buy a new pair of shoes on Saturday that I totally don't need but asked for anyway because they were on sale. :)

5. He will wake me up in the middle of the night just to give me a kiss on the check or to say 'I love you' and then go back to sleep. Note: This is possibly the most incredible thing in the whole wide world!

Two Year Date-aversary

Today Jason and I have been "officially" together for two years. Good grief! It somehow seems like forever and a blink of an eye all at the same time. I've been thinking back over the past two years and it makes me laugh. I realize that our relationship was abnormal from the very beginning, but that's how we like it. :)

My Niece

I am totally and completely in love with this little girl. She is simply too adorable for words.

Date Night

I went on a date with my husband tonight! It was really fun and definitely needed. Seems like all I do these days is work or fall asleep on the couch! ha ha...

Seriously though, it was a pretty great night and I enjoyed the time with my new hubby. First we went to Target to finish spending our gift cards from the wedding. We actually just got one on Saturday from some late gifters, so that was a very nice surprise. After that we hit up Fazzoli's for some seriously good bread sticks and fast food Italian. Whoever thought of that concept is my new best friend. Then it was on to the movies to see The Incredible Hulk.


I was doubtful going in as I have never been much of a Hulk person. However, I must admit that I liked the movie quite a lot. Much of that has to do with Edward Norton who I think is a really great actor and, of course, Liv Tyler who I also think is wonderful. Unfortunately, the ending was horrible. I hated it with a passion. Of course, it was probably really good in reality, but I hate reality. I prefer my movies to be tied up with a nice little bow at the end. This one did not have that, so I didn't like it.

After we left the movie we went out to the parking lot and couldn't remember where we parked the car. We pretty much wandered around the parking lot for a few minutes until Jason finally remembered. When we finally got to the car we realized that we had parked right next to one of those signs with the really big numbers that they put up so that you can find your car. We were literally parked right next to this pole:

Now that it what you call ironic!
