Yay, movies!

Bobby and I have been working really hard on sticking to a budget to get ourselves out of debt and in a better financial place and as a result we haven't gone to a movie theatre to see a movie in atleast 8 months, maybe longer. So for Christmas we got movie gift certificates and a gift card to Texas Roadhouse because we also haven't been going out to eat.  On Friday we went to see I am Legend, then we went to dinner and then decided to also go see the 2nd National Treasure movie. It was a fun, relaxing day. I was coming down with a cold so the people behind me kept having to hear me sneeze but I brought a whole kleenex box with me so I was covered!  

I thought I am Legend was very good. I've never seen the other two movies that have been made with this story but I thought it was amazing for Wil Smith to be just about the only person in the movie, filming must have been very intense.  I wont give anything away but if anyone wants to talk about it I'd love to. I'll just say that dog is so cute! Makes me want a puppy but Bobby and I have the ongoing debate that he doesn't think animals should be in the house and I would be heartbroken if we had a dog and it was just locked outside all the time.  

Then we saw the National Treasure movie. The first one is one of Bobby's all time faves, which cracks me up, he loves Nicholas Cage. So he's been talking about this movie since we saw the preview months ago.    It was better than I expected but I doubt it will be up for any awards.  

I was inspired by some other bloggers and their list of 100 things, so I'm working on my list and will post it soon.  

Well, it's official. I've started my first blog! I love reading all of my friend's blogs and keeping up with new pictures of their families and I kept thinking I didn't really need to start one until we have a family and as many of you know that hasn't happened for us quite as quickly as we'd hoped so I'm beginning my blog now anyway with the many pictures that I do take and when we do have a baby, you'll get lots of those pictures too!

I'm just getting the hang of things, unlik some of you pros, Jeanelle! So I'm going to try to post a couple of my favorite pictures to start with. Grace in a basket, which is her favorite thing to do. She put herself there and sat in that pose for about 30 minutes on her own, so I had to take a picture. Bobby and I at Brown County State Park in October and both of my kids Kira and Grace, Kira is really a boy so I know his name is silly. He was a tiny kitten when we got him and thought it was a girl, by the time we found out otherwise the name had stuck but we often call him mow-mow, buddy or Bobby has started to call him "puppy" since he doesn't really like cats and wants a dog. They've become pretty good buddies for him not liking cats.
