Winter Holidays and General Fun

Thought I would throw out a few short recaps of some of the fun that has been going on over the last couple of weeks.

I know Lu has mentioned her friend Molly getting married. The event happened the weekend before Christmas and it was loads of fun. It was my first time seeing a Jewish ceremony. It was very interesting to learn about the customs (thanks to Molly who so thoughtfully included descriptions of what was going on and the meanings behind them in the programs) Below you will see a picture I snapped before the wedding, the Temple is gorgeous. really ornate and really pretty. We had a great time and are very happy for Molly and Matt.

For those who didn't see this already, I had to go to work on Christmas Eve Eve (that's the 23rd) but my day started out so great because I go this image as a reminder of our Amazing Father Creator. It was such a beautiful sunrise, and I was blessed to have the time to watch it for a little while and spend time with God admiring His greatness.

While we were hanging with Lu's family for Christmas, we got to see several awesome movies.

First off, we saw Avatar in 3D and all I am going to tell you is I thought it was well worth it seeing it in 3D. I don't want to sit here and rave about it and give away the story this that and the other, but it was really fun. Here is Lu cheesin' it up and having fun with the oh so stylish 3D glasses that we were sporting.

Also we saw Blindside. The movie was really well done and entertaining. A great true story if you didn't know it. For those who are thinking oh it is just a football movie and weren't going to see it because of that, you should reconsider, there isn't nearly as much football involved as one would think. Sandra Bullock was cast perfectly and she played her role really well. There were tons of great and funny lines in the movie too. It was really a great movie I enjoyed it.

Finally as if we weren't already moviedout (i know that isn't a word) we also got the chance to see Sherlock Holmes on Sunday. This one was fun because it was a date, and I really enjoy those with my wife, she is the best. The movie was very entertaining, a lot of action and I was very happy that it wasn't all that predictable. I would recommend this one as well to anyone looking for movies to watch.

Now I am looking forward to time with my family, which I get to see today, so I am excited. They called yesterday and already told us they have seen at least 10 deer walking around the cabin at different times. It is going to be a fun time. I hope everyone has safe travels and enjoys the rest of their holidays and I pray that you all have a safe, fun and happy new year.
