Movie Review: the good and the bad

 Crazy, Stupid, Love

     Why I rented the movie: It looked cute (i didnt really remember the previews), I like Steve Carell and Emma Stone.

    

    Biggest complaint: The whole way they portrayed marriage and love just didn't sit right with us, maybe its because we are still newlyweds and what not but we just didn't get the humor in it all.

I don't know what it was, maybe we weren't in the right mood but I rented this movie a few weeks ago and we HATED it. I usually don't hate movies, this was an exception. We actually didn't even get through the whole thing, we took it out. 

    Advice: don't rent it, its not even worth the $1.27 red box charges

Water for Elephants

      Why I rented the movie: I remembered that the trailer looked good (the movie came out back in April). I didn't see it when it came out but have been wanting too. On Saturday Brian went to a little bachelor party for his old roommate and I wanted to watch a movie to keep me company. 

     Review: I'm not going to lie, I rented the movie on Saturday... didn't watch it... and each day after i went to watch it but I wasn't really into it. I started thinking it was going to be boring. Last night I FINALLY put it in. and i LOVED it!!!! Brian loved it too! It was so good! it was a love/suspense/action/drama all in one. Reese Witherspoon did an amazing job and surprisingly so did Robert Pattinson. I actually think it's his best movie I've seen (and I'm a twilight fan!). Its definitely an adult movie, not for little kids. But over all there isn't much to complain about. No excessive use of bad words and for a PG-13 it was pretty low key in the romantic area. 

    Advice: If you haven't seen it, go to the nearest red box and rent it! It is definitely worth the $1.27! I just returned it but have a feeling I will be watching it again soon! 

A word of Advice: take my advice with a grain of salt, everyone

lives different movies and you might have a different opinion then me but if your in the need

for a good movie, I would definitely think about renting Water for Elephants!  

Dinner...

Hmmmmmm what to make for dinner...

I feel like I have this thought almost every night! Usually Brian helps decide (and cook, how did I get so lucky?) but tonight he is busy studying away for finals...

I'm a creature of habit and go back to the same dinner ideas almost every week...

but today, nothing sounds good :( 

Oh well I did come up with something, this really yummy sweet and sour chicken recipe from our best bites. It so good! you should try it

One problem for the Gilbert household, we are missing one key ingredient! PINEAPPLE CHUNKS!!!!

Ahhhh I just got back from the store too! I guess thats why you should decide what you want for dinner BEFORE you go to the store :( and No I'm not going back, its not worth it, I dont want to waste the gas (if you know how close the store is to us, don't make fun), the time or go out in the cold (ps correction to my last post, it snowed today)

Does this ever happen to anyone else?  

I hate missing one ingredient, especially an important one

Baby Its Cold Outside

Welcome to Rexburg Winters :)

It has been pretty cold these last few weeks, But we can't really complain!

Still no snow! 

BUT it is still cold which make me day dream back to our honeymoon... it was nice and warm

Then I remembered I never posted pictures of our fun trip!!!

So here we go....

On our plane ride to Maui!!! 

Brian set it up with Grandma and Grandpa Broadbent to stay at the condo! This is the view from our balcony! it was perfect!

Our first walk on the beach! We couldn't wait to put on our suits and go for a walk on the beach! 

We made our own dinner one night! It was so fun to make our first real meal as husband and wife!

The island that we went snorkeling at! Molokini! 

On our ride out to a snorkeling place! I got a little sea sick but over all it was a lot of fun!

One of the first places that we ate :)

My parents came here for their second anniversary (i think :) and have a picture right here! 

We had to get some true tourist pictures

Brian being his dorky self

If you've ever been to Hawaii you know how expensive everything is! But we decided we wanted to make the most of our trip! never know when we will be back! We found this really yummy restaurant online and it was DELICIOUS! if you are ever in Maui go to Gerrard's!

our cute table on the porch 

Brians yummy steak

my delicious halibut at crab

homemade sorbet! 

no these aren't hamburgers... they are chocolate filled cream puffs 

Isn't the restaurant so cute!!!

The cool car/truck we drove up to the zip line in!

We had to cross this scary bridge!

The zip line we were about to go on... or maybe from where we just cam? I can't remember

YAY for zip lining!

We survived the zip lining and had the best time!!!

The sign right by the condo sad DANGER!!!! dont worry we swam there anyways 

I got a pearl at one of those stands! I've always wanted to do that and Brian let me :) I'm sure it was just because it was our honeymoon haha its kind of a tourist trap. 

Our last breakfast in Maui, it was delicious! stuffed french toast with macadamia nuts and eggs benedict! YUMMM

Sad to be leaving Maui and our honeymoon :(
