Another Weeked O' Fun

This time Denton and Dallas being the location. It has come to my attention that I have been rather lax on my summer movie watching. Usually the summer I hit up every movie that comes out. This summer I have found myself pondering over the listing not finding anything of great interest. That was until this weekend.

I like to think of this weekend as comedy weekend. It was the perfect weekend to go catch a movie if you really wanted to laugh. Friday a small group of us went to see The Proposal.

If you like to see Ryan Reynold with no shirt...GO SEE THIS MOVIE! You won't be disappointed. It was also really funny. Sandra Bullock is still the awesome, glad she made her way back to the big screen. Betty White is also hilarious as the grandmother. So be sure to check it out. And if you don't like it, then that's your problem I guess.

Saturday I ventured into Dallas to meet up with my friend Wilson for lunch. It had been almost a year since I last saw her so it was great to get to catch up. Whilst down south and being so near to the Angelika I took the opportunity to see Sam Mendes's new masterpiece, Away We Go. He didn't disappoint. The movie opened with his great room shots that he's so well known for. I've gotta say that this is probably the best movie I've seen in a long time. It was funny, sweet, and at time even a little sad. John Krasinski and Mya Rudolph were phenomenal. So if you're near a theater that play this. GO SEE IT!!

The Summer O' Fun Continues

I just got back from spending the weekend in San Antonio with my big sister and her best friend. We went to go see the amazing show, WICKED! If you have yet to see this play I highly recommend it. It's worth traveling anywhere in the country you can get tickets to see it.

We also took in the other sights of San Antonio. We had lunch on the Riverwalk before heading to the Alamo. It's funny how much smaller things get when you grow up. Upon walking up to the Alamo my sister and I both looked at each other at the same time and said, "I remember it being much bigger."

After the show we went to Pat O'Brien's for some Hurricanes and then headed back down the Riverwalk to Dick's Last Resort for some dinner.

It was a really great trip. I hate that it was so short. The only thing missing was my best friend.

Summer's Off to a Great Start

So far this summer looks to be one of the best so far...and it's only been three weeks. Here's a little run down of what has made it awesome so far:

*Steady stream of ultimate frisbee games have started. I decided to dust off my shoes and come out of retirement. My mom insists that I wear a helmet since I once got a concusion from the sport. I have chosen to defy her and go helmetless. So far no head injuries.

*We have had not one, but two amazing cookouts with Ben and Derek at the healm of the grill. We've cooked enough meat to last an entire summer. We have had steaks, pork chops, chicken, ribs, brats, hot links, burgers, and hot dogs. That's right...all that food between 2 cookouts.

*Ben and I went to the No Doubt concert. One of the best concerts I've ever seen. It's safe to say that I would rank it in my top 5. The only down side was that my knees were in pain for two days after because of all the jumping around.

*I've had the chance to spend some time with some amazing people. Nothing major, just hanging out, making dinner, stuff like that.

*I got to spend a relaxing week at home with the fam. Caught up on much needed rest and started my summer tan lounging by the pool.

*I have fallen in love with another great TV show thanks to Paige Poole. I'm addicted to Bones. If you have a chance, watch it. You won't be disappointed.

So that's just a few things that have made this summer wonderful so far. Things yet to come include a trip to San Antonio with my sister to see Wicked, a possible weekend trip to Austin with Derek, Amanda, and Ben, and who knows what else. As always I'm hoping to meet the man of my dreams. Maybe this is the summer it will happen.
