Thanksgiving=Movies

I don't know why, but when I get together with family...sisters actually, we go out and watch movies. I hardly ever go to a movie when they are not there. So, the movies I saw this past week...
New Moon-Twice...and I am done. Kaitlyn and Hollie were sooooo excited for this one. We corraled a group of girls/women and Kaitlyn stood in line from 4:00 pm to save us a place. We had about 20 of us. By the time, it was time to go to the movie-I really didn't want to go! Taught seminary that morning, took Kaitlyn to get her braces off, took Steve to get his knee surgery, took Kaitlyn to the movies....and went to a band concert! I wanted to crawl in bed and I felt guilty for leaving my husband who was hurting! He supported us going and it was fun to be with the girls...
Anywhoo, if you are not a Jacob fan by the time that movie is over, nothing will turn you! Did have a good talk with the girls on the way home...Any man that makes you do extreme and stupid stuff...not good! And if he leaves you because he thinks it is best thing for you but doesn't include you in that conversation...not good! I don't think they will be going to a movie again with me soon.

Blind Side-LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT!!!! So not just a football movie! Husband's first outing since surgery. Went with my brother and sister and their spouses. Great movie and Sandra Bullock rocks! I think the thing that I loved the best is that she was a strong woman and her husband just loved and supported her. Good to see in a movie.

Julie and Julia-$3.00 movie, went with sister and sister in law...LOVED IT!!!! This movie has stayed with me because Meryl Streep is so totally awesome. Seriously, is there nothing this woman can't do! You did not believe she wasn't Julia Child. A portrayal husbands loving and supporting their wives to go after their dreams. I seriously loved it and I think I will buy it.

North and South-BBC productions-watched with sisters huddled in my bedroom because the men were watching football in the lfamily room and the kids were sleeping in the bonus room! LOVED IT!!!! Ok, this is NOT a civil war movie-it is about the Industrial Revolution in England...soooo cute accents! Kind of a Pride and Prejudice where there and judgements made and misunderstandings but at least there is a kiss at the end of it-a good one too!!!!!!!

It was a great Thanksgiving break! So grateful for movies! :)

Yeah, I just might convert to Team Jacob after that movie...maybe.

Oh, and I've been wanting to see J&J and N&S...thanks for the recommendations!
