Movies, Books, Music and Trevor.

Last Saturday Trevor and I went on a much needed date. 
He took me to see the new Batman~ holy goodness...it was the best batman...ever. 
I absolutely loved it. 
It was over way too fast; even though it was almost 3 hours, I wanted it to go on and on. 
Trevor liked the second Batman better so we had to watch it Sunday night
for him to be sure.
The Dark Knight is still his favorite. 
And The Dark Knight Rises is still my favorite. 
We agree to disagree. 

However, I'm sure we agree that this is a way cute picture of Joshua:
Josh was so excited to show me the rainbow on the wall and to have his picture taken by it. 

Trevor and I made a deal about a week ago that I would read one of his favorite books 
and he would read one of mine. 
I wouldn't ask him to read Jane Eyre so instead he's reading East of Eden
and I'm reading The Pillars of the Earth. 
I can definitely see why he loves this book. 
It has completely sucked me in and there's never enough time to read. 
He is liking E.o.E but he doesn't love it. 
When we "discuss" our books, he doesn't have nearly as much to say as I do about the book I'm reading. 
But that's okay.
It's already been established that I have a more diverse taste in books than he does. 
I usually always like the same books as him. 
Except The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. 
That one's just a bit too weird for me...

Speaking of weird, check out how Joshy is currently wearing his socks:
They're slightly too big but he doesn't care cause he can wear them like daddy does~ ha!

During my workout, I always put on Pandora and listen to my shuffled stations. 
Right now, it shuffles between Matt Nathanson, Carrie Underwood, Rhett Atkins and Big & Rich.
More often than not, a song comes on that Trevor and I used to listen to while we were dating. 
There's no better way to get through a hard workout 
than to be bombarded by some of my favorite memories. 
Trevor and I have always loved music and have always had very similar tastes. 
There's a song attached to every house we've lived in 
and all the trips we've gone on.  
When we began dating Trevor had the largest cd collection that I'd ever seen. 
(but they all got stolen...bummer) 
We still don't have as many now as he did back then...

I'm just realizing that these are the ways that I get to know Trevor again everyday; 
by watching our favorite movies together, reading the books he loves,
and being reminded of him through music. 
And he makes me happy.

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
