It's Always Something

To celebrate the end of summer, tonight's Friday Movie Night consisted of a little something extra special. Recently, Brooklynn has taken up guitar lessons. To help encourage her, I am taking lessons with her. Although the initial idea was to strike a musical spark in her, the lessons seem to have fueled a fire inside of me as well. I LOVE learning to play the guitar. It has quickly become a favorite past time along with painting, interior design, and coffee. I love using my hands to create things, and guitar seems to fall in line with this love. Tonight we saw an inspirational documentary called It Might Get Loud. Brooklynn paid attention to the entire film and had her own commentary throughout. It was a good film to see at the right time. I surprised Brooklynn with a sporadic visit to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk after the movie. Since summer was coming to an end, tonight was the last Band on the Beach. I thought it would be a great way to transition the new interests from...

For tonight's movie, Bstarr chose to see Pixar's anticipated UP! We were joined by Jeff, big Jeff, and Jazmyn. I have to admit, I teared up during the first 15 minutes as the movie ran through the lives of an old married couple from their first meeting, to their marriage, to her death. While I watched this animated movie, I thought about my own adventure and how I longed for it to be just like the couple in the movie. I wonder if there is still time to add on to my love story.
