life lately

The past few weeks have been pretty good. Kinda of crazy weather wise though. We've had to run to friend's and family's houses to hide from tornados a couple of times but it's not so bad. It's scary but a nice little excuse to visit with loved ones.

Fletcher and I broke out the Xbox the other day and played some Left 4 Dead together. Shooting zombies can be romantic right? ;)

This past weekend we kicked things off by hanging out with our besties Sam & Rob. We had a nice little dinner, went to the mall and then hit up Barnes & Noble for some Starbucks. 

Fletcher totally photobombed us.

We spent the night at their house and the next day we went and got our first snow cones of summer! They were delicious. I got Summer Lovin' (peach, cranberry and lemon).

Then we headed to my parent's house for the rest of the weekend and ate a lot of food. We also went to see Fast & Furious 6 which we were both super excited about and it did not disappoint! Now I just need a sweet muscle car! 

Monday we had some delicious watermelon and then Fletcher and I went to Rogers, Ar. to do a little shopping and just hang out. We love going to Rogers. Then we just came home and are slowly getting back into our routine. Fletcher's still working tons of overtime so it's back to work for him and I've been doing some reorganizing/cleaning. 

Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! 

What I'm Reading: Water for Elephants

I give this book a 4 out of 5. I definitely loved it but I have to say there are some things that I think they did better in the movie. I know some of you are probably thinking I'm crazy. Most people (including my mother-in-law) usually like the book version better than the movie adaptation. In this case I will say I like the movie better, it's one of my favorite movies. Don't get me wrong the book was wonderful but I feel like it was almost a different story than the movie. I won't give away too many details since I'm sure not everyone has read it or seen the movie. I would definitely recommend the book and of course the movie. Even if you don't care for Robert Pattinson I say give it a shot because he was great in this movie. I love the Twilight series but he did do a much better job in Water for Elephants.

Have you read Water for Elephants or seen the movie? What did you think?

Advent: Day 18

Day 18: Watch a Christmas movie.

We chose White Christmas. It's probably my favorite Christmas movie and my favorite Christmas song. I wish we had white Christmases here in Oklahoma but it's rare. Maybe I'll get lucky this year. :)

Advent: Day 13

Day 13: Watch a Christmas movie we've never seen before.

We've never watched The Polar Express even though we've owned it for a couple of years now! ha! But we finally did tonight and it was pretty good. 

Advent Calendar: Day 3

Day 3: Watch a Christmas movie.

We watched It's a Wonderful Life. (Most of it anyway)

We also watched A Garfield Christmas Special and The Berenstien Bears Christmas Tree. Those are two of my favorite Christmas cartoons. I've been making a list of all of the ones I can remember so I can try to find them on VHS or DVD. 

What are some of your favorite Christmas cartoons you remember?

favorite.

I love this movie.
