Movie Night

I took my hot date with me to see the newest installment of the twilight saga: Eclipse. It was incredible! Aside from having to sit in a packed theater right underneath what I can only describe as a hurricane fan ---side story: the fan was blowing such continuous cold air and we had nothing to cover ourselves, that Judah was using my small cotton purse as a blanket over his little legs and I was using the warmth of my tree like arm to drape across his chest to give him warmth...

The movie followed the book and was a festival for the eyes (team edward!). There were some sappy parts, but then my mind was escape to the book and I could overlook the "moments" lost from page to cinematic glory.

Judah started to get a little restless during these scenes and then was brought back once werewolves and vampires started fighting. It was really annoying watching it with a hundred stupid teens (especially the team jacob ones) they kept ruining the movie by screaming when he took his shirt off, or talking during Edwards awesome moments because they think Bella should be Jacob. This is why I am closer to 30 then 13 and want to hurt them.

After the movie, I was about to head back on our 45 min highway journey (thats right, the closest movie theatre that shows more than one movie, that isnt blurry, is in Edwardsville - 40 miles from Greenville) --- as I was saying, I was about to get back on the highway to head home when I decided I might need a little caffiene to help me along my journey. I went past the exit and kept going down the road until we hit "Maryville". A small town again that looked mostly asleep until we saw these beams of bright light filling the right side of the road. All my brain could process in between the flashes was "FROZEN CUSTARD". What a perfect night for some ice cream!

It was this cool joint -- just perfect for a summer night with bright lights and fifties music playing. There were tables to the side and all of the employees wore button down white shirts and bright pink bowties and chucks. the custard was creamy and yummy and there were a million different ways to try it. Judah had vanilla custard with strawberries and I had vanilla custard with chocolate shell (magic shell).

Overall a great night! Judah was really sweet and as we walked to the car, he grabbed my hand and said, I love you, thanks for taking me to the movie. So sweet!

Tomorrow we are going to see where all of the 4th of July action is. I think we are going to Carlyle Lake today (saturday) and watch the fireworks over the lake and then tomorrow we may venture to the Big City of St. Louis for their Fair on the River display. I love fireworks!! I just wish we had some of you to share it with. Last year was awesome with the tour of the umbrellas as we walked in the sprinkling rain to the GC fireworks.

Also- shout out to the incredible new parents, Jeremy and Kristin Bowman!!!! They had a japanese girl named Aeris Noel at 1am today!! (ok, so she doesnt look japanese, but she was born in JAPAN, how cool is that??) Baby and mama are perfect. Praise the Lord! I will be praying for the Bowman family as they have to love on this new addition to their family from so far away.
