The Hunger Games: The Movie!

Super excited that the cast of The Hunger Games has been put on IMDB!  So far, the casting seems spot-on.  As morbid as the storyline is I'm still excited to see it hit the big screen.  Expected release date is March 23, 2012.

For time and all eternity...

I don't know if any of you heard, but about two weeks ago there was a royal wedding.

I love a good, historical, wedding so I recorded it and watched every minute.  Plus, there was so much hype over what Kate's dress would look like I just had to tune in and see!  I really love that they aired their actual wedding ceremony.  I couldn't help but pause for a moment and ponder when they got to the whole "For richer, or for poorer.  In sickness and in health, till death do you part."  I always get irked at that point.  I am so happy that our church marries us for time and all eternity.  I don't want to only be with Howie for this life, but the one after as well.

The speech that the Bishop of London gave was really cool.  He had a lot of neat things to say about marriage in our day.  My favorite line was:

"Marriage should transform as husband and wife make one another their work of art.  It is possible to transform so long as we don't harbor ambitions to re-form our partners.  There must be no coercion if the spirit is to flow.  Each must give the other space and freedom."

Howie and I went to his cousin's sealing today in the Bountiful Temple.  It was a beautiful sealing and I loved the bride's choice of wedding dress, colors, bouquet, etc.  It all came together very nicely.  When it got to the point of "for time and all eternity" I got teary-eyed.  It's such a wonderful blessing and I'm glad that we can attend family sealings and be reminded of what we got ourselves into almost three years ago.

15 Down, 15 To Go

The results from my weigh-in are in and...

I've lost 15 pounds.

Pants are getting loose.

Shirts are fitting better.

Howie started working out to keep up with me.

I've found a new love for celery with peanut butter.

I can't stand the thought of greasy fast food.

I'm halfway to my goal.

This summer is gonna rock.

I LOVE Spring!

Today we bought our first ever hanging plant for our porch.

We've never bought one before because we were afraid our side of the complex didn't get enough sun.

I hope we don't kill it because I sure do like it!
