Les Choristes

I saw this movie called Les Choristes (The Chorus) the other day and basically it was the highlight of my week. It's about a man who becomes a prefect at a boys' reform school. He tries to help them by earning their trust and teaching them how to sing. I won't get anymore specific because I hate giving things away, but I just had to say how much I loved this movie.

Pepinot!

My favorite character is Pepinot. He's an orphan who sits at the school gate every Saturday waiting for his father to come get him. However all of the kids are equally adorable (minus this one creepy boy who reminds of one of the children of the corn)and it tells a great story as well. I've been trying to get my whole family to watch it, lol. I think they are sick of it.

Currently: Bruised and sore from paintball yesterday

Happy 4th of July

The last two weeks have been kind of crazy. There has been so much going on.
My mother decided to get new kitchen counters and paint some cupboards which means we had to clear everything out of the kitchen and family room. The office became a storage unit and you can hardly open the door to Gabby's room their are so many boxes. However this remodel did remind me of my love for the container store. It's ridiculous how much you want to buy from that store once you go in.

One of my old roommates moved to the Houston area, so I had to give her the Sugar Land tour. Which basically consists of town center and the movie theater lol. There were some great sales though. It seemed like every store was running some sort of deal. We also went to a drive in on the north side of town. It was so fun. I found out about it from some other FMC interns(We all went their one night after work). It is pretty cheap($5 for two movies). Lara and I saw Transformers 2 and Star Trek.

My friend Christie got married last night. Everything was so beautiful, I loved it. I know this sounds cliche but she and Derek are perfect for each other. The reception was alot of fun. They had it at George Ranch, and served BBQ with lemonade drinks in mason jars. It was semi casual, so people could wear jeans if they wanted. Her colors were all bright yellows, pinks, and oranges. She had all these cute centerpieces with cut oranges, grapefruits or lemons in the vases.

I finally made it to the movies. The Proposal was really cute;I love Sandra Bullock. There were a lot of sequels out this summer. I was really excited to see Transformers 2. I thought it was good, but not as good as the first one. I also saw Night at the Museum 2, which was cute. Amy Adams was a nice addition to the cast. Oh and I saw the latest Terminator movie. I thought it was an entertaining action-y film, but I haven't seen the original terminator movies, so I'm not a huge fan or anything. So far my favorite movie of the summer has been Star Trek. Which is weird, because I wasn't looking forward to it or anything. Still on my list: Up and the next Harry Potter movie.

Current SYTYCD favorite couple: Jeanette and Brandon
