Too Close for Comfort!

You know your wedding is close when the milk in the fridge expires 3 days after you have left on your honeymoon!! AHHHHH!

Sorry!

For everyone who reads my blog regularly (um if there is anyone) I am sorry for not updating you on things for the past several days. Here is a quick summery of what has been happening.

I am done with school! I have a bacherlor's degree in Communication with a minor in general studies emphasis in Italian. Woohoo! I guess I won't feel much about it until I march in May though. Then it will really hit me. Maybe.

I had another bridal shower! This is my thrid one and each one was very different and fun. I loved them all! Thank you to everyone who took the time to put them together for me! I was searching for a picture of a slumber party because that is what my bridal shower was when I came across the plate and napkin pattern that my mom used to decorate! Ha!

I am now home and am crazy busy trying to get everything done for the wedding. You can't blame me much for not posting can you? Well, hopefully I will find the time to post again before I am a Mrs.

I like movies...

Last night we all went to see "Chronicles of Narnia". I have never read the book "The lion, the witch and the wardrobe" but I remember listening to it on audio tape at a daycare I went ot when I was about 4. Of course I didn't remember anything about it but I do remember hearing it once. ANYWAY.

It was a very good movie. It truly was a kids movie. I don't think I saw any blood. Except on some of the characters faces but just drip here and there. There are some people who put this movie in the same category with Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. I really don't know what they are thinking. This movie is so obviously an allegory that it can't really be called anything else.

The lion represents Jesus. For some reason, this movie made more of an impression on me than "The Passion of the Christ". It is odd, but it is easier for me to believe that a lion is loving and forgiving than to beleive that a human is. There was such power in that lion and yet so much love. I know that is what the Bible says God/Jesus is but I can't imagine a more appropriate figure to represent him than a lion.

Well, sorry this review has been so disjointed and rambling. I would go see this movie if I were you.

Snowing and sliding

It is snowing here in [town I live]. I like snow sometimes but mostly I am just scared of what snow means. No, I am not scared that snow means that water vapor is crystalizing. I am scared that snow means slippery roads and slippery roads mean death, destruction, misery, and chaos. Whenever anyone is late for something nowadays, you can't just automatically get annoyed. The first thought that comes to your mind is that they got in a car accident.

I went two doors down from Jason's house for my [second] bridal shower. It has a steep driveway and I couldn't make it up. It was quite disconcerting to turn the steering wheel and not have the tires follow. What was even more disconcerting was the way the car just stopped halfway up the hill even though I hadn't changed the pressure on the gas pedal. I backed up and tried again to no avail. Then my friends dad came down and towed me up the driveway. which I am eternally grateful for but it does seem kind of silly to be towed by a car that is not that much bigger than mine. The weird thing is that I went up the hill no problem when I was being towed by the other little car. Humph. Well at least one other person had to be towed up too. I just loved the way that I walked in the door and people said, "Really? Well, my car made it up just fine."

yeah yeah
