Choices, Choices

I signed up last year for the rewards program at a local theater. The reward benefits include free upgrades on certain concessions, and $10.00 in rewards for every $100 you spend. So I let my dad use my rewards card also, and between the two of us and our significant others, we finally earned the $10.00 reward. Well, I then received an e-mail notifying me that my reward was going to expire on April 13. So Christy and I decided that we needed to go to the movies so that we could use our reward money. Unfortunately, we didn't know what movie we wanted to go see. Nothing that was showing jumped out to us as something that we had to see. I would like to eventually see the Hunger Games, however, I feel like Christy should read the book before we see the movie. We finally decided that we would just go see Mirror, Mirror. This as a movie based on the story of Snow White. I wasn't sure what I expected of it, but decided that it would be worth seeing.


I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I thought it was entertaining. I really enjoyed the dwarves, I thought they were quite funny. I also enjoyed watching Julia Roberts play the evil queen. For a quick afternoon out at the movies, I thought that it was a good choice. Christy also enjoyed the movie. I was however, quite worried when one of the characters was turned into a cockroach, I thought I might find my wife hiding in terror under her chair. Apparently one cockroach is not as frightening on the big screen as it is in your own bathroom.

The Easter Bunny

This morning, I got a text at about 7:00. The number was not one I recognized and I figured it probably wasn't important. I looked at the message and it said, "I think the Easter bunny came. Check you patio!!!" I told Christy it was a wrong number and we didn't need to worry about it.

Once I was up and about I figured I would glance at the patio so I could laugh at how there was nothing there. I looked out the window and there were easter eggs and ziploc bags full of candy. So Christy and I went out and collected all the candy. After that I became a little obsessed with trying to figure out who easter bunnied our patio. I never found out, but this experience made Christy and I so happy. We were thrilled to feel like little kids collecting eggs, and to know that somebody cared so much about us.

So wherever you are Easter bunny, thank you!!
