okay, first of all, let me HIGHLY recommend the movie UP. wonderful wonderful movie. dave and i love going to see animated movies in 3D. he loves the new 3d technology and i just love the disney animated movies so it makes for a fun event for us. i especially love going during the day like on a sunday when i know there will be tons of families and kids at the movie. the reason for this is because i love hearing kids reactions during some of the scenes. like when something is really sad or funny i can feel the emotional response in the room through them just by their laughter and/or ohhhs and ahhhs. love it. the only downfall of going to the movie during this time is that we need to go to theater way early because there is usually a bigger crowd on a sunday afternoon then say a 10P.M. showing on a thursday night.
UP was a great movie for both kids and adults. for kids it was about adventure and talking dogs and birds, a real adventure movie, but for adults there was a deeper life message that children may not even catch. oh and it wasn't morally preaching, like doing right vs. wrong, but more about life stages and transitions. warning though: you will cry in the first 15 minutes. both DAVE and I did!
prior to going to see the movie, dave and i invited both sets of our parents to a favorite local mexican restaurant in pflugerville for lunch and to meet for the first time. everyone got along really well and our first family meeting could not have gone any better. we were both thrilled about that because all morning my stomach had been in knots about our folks meeting. i don't know what i was expecting that could have been so bad?? just the general anxiety of something like that makes me nervous. i'm glad that our parents have met now it makes me very relieved that this monumental moment is done and over. now i really look forward to daves family meeting the rest of my family and i look forward to our siblings families meeting each other. all of that does not make me nervous the way this first meeting did.
oh, completely forgot also, we went to schlitterbahn on saturday. (this blog is completely in reverse...but that's okay.) we had made plans to go down to san antonio to check out the missions and do some san antonio wedding venue searching. late on friday night we get a message from jono and lexie asking if we were interested in going to schlitterbahn saturday. and we were like heck yes. so we left the house early on saturday and piddled around san antonio, getting lost, stuck in traffic, but generally overall enjoying ourselves. i'm pretty sure that we have decided on a place to get married two, but now it's just a matter of finding a a reception venue.
after we were done with san antonio we headed up to schlitterbahn to meet jono and lexie. the water park really has gotten much bigger than i remember it. there are shuttles and 3 different parks and 3 different lazy rivers and many more rides. the lines were really reasonable and i'm so glad we decided to go.
