Today

while standing quite alone at the top of a steep mountain at 8500 feet with the thick snow falling, my skis covered, and the dense fog creating eight feet of visibility, i pushed myself over the edge, and i learned a little thing about faith.

Le Critique de Film

Last night, after the cookies were baked, we watched Paris, je t'aime. What a delight! It's a collaboration of 18 diverse directors who came up with 18 5-minute short films that take place in paris and center around the general theme of different types of love. Then the 18 were sewn together into one long movie. I decided that I enjoyed 11 of the 18. 11 were really watchable, 7 were just alright and/or hard to understand. mais oui! fenetre zut alors je ne parle francais. ahem. where was i?  

 Oh yes- I liked these: #2, Quais de Seine 5, Loin du 16e 7, Bastille 9, Tour Eiffel 10, Parc Monceau 12, Place des fêtes 13, Pigalle 14, Quartier de la Madeleine 16, Faubourg Saint-Denis 17, Quartier Latin 18, 14e arrondissement

Anywho, it's heartwarming, sad, comical, scary, etcetera and aptly portrays the depths of human emotions. Elijah Wood even falls in love with a vampire. {And, potentially good news, a similar movie entitled new york, i love you is being released} Now, as for the rest of my recommendations-- I'll have to get to those another time. But let's just say mi husby y yo be fans of the foreign. <!--[if gte mso 9]> Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

the old soul is getting older

I see all these cute little children who I used to babysit and teach piano lessons to on facebook- forming complete sentences, adding edward twilight applications, entering relationships, watching dr. phil, using slang, taking geometry, applying to COLLEGE. And i feel old. But gosh darn, they are still so cute [especially the ones who still play piano].

someone needs their ears checked

After dropping Meagan off today after class, Aaron and I were driving back home and he looked out at the falling snow and said, 

"Let's get naked and build a snowman." 

At least, that's what I thought he said. 

"Um...ok but that sounds cold! And illegal"

“Huh?" (Said he)... "I said, let's get Meagan and build a snowman." 

Apparently Meagan sounds like Naked to me. Sorry meagan.

 p.s. mi esposo updated his blog!

Reflecting.

Marriage is lovely, and I've decided I wouldn't trade it back for single-hood. I feel at home in my life and it’s a beautiful thing. 

Just had to throw that out there.

[maybe i should frame the marriage certificate? do people do that sort of thing?]
