Gold star! and movies.


We went out to SLC for Danny's company Christmas party last weekend. My mom and dad were gracious enough as always to take Gracy overnight for us. The company set us up in a really nice Marriott over night. It was a nice break. We went to this Japanese stake house that a fun atmosphere. Danny's boss started talking about the years progress and such and mentioned Danny specifically and talked about the leaps and bounds he has made the six months he has been with Winn Marion. Let me tell you....I was one proud Wife :) How cool is that. Im so proud of him. The down side of the trip was that I got the FLU AGAIN! last time we went out of town I was throwing up.....so of course I get it again. I really think I said a prayer 3 times ......."PLEASE dont let me puke in front of Danny's boss" and I was really dreading the smell of Japanese food! but a miracle happened and I was able to appear normal for 3 hours and order some rice hahahha. Some one even asked if I was a vegan! Bahaha, I made Danny promise not to tell everyone I was sick. It was all worth it though to hear Danny get the gold star for the night. Gracy and I are some really lucky girls to have a hard working guy in our life. We love him.
We also got to see 2 movies the next day.....I know we are die hard theater nerds.....plus I wasnt in my usual shopping mood from the day before...so .......for a few reviews.
Harry Potter.
Was amazing! They definatley keep getting darker but thats not a suprise if you read the books. They had a weird dream with harry and hermine kissing and it was not for kids. I love the new characters they brought in. The book was way more in depth with a few scenes, like when hermine killed that big snake in severis 's house. It seemed more of an epic explosion battle, and had more death eaters stalking them. But thats the only scene I expected more out of. It still blows my mind a single mom sat down and wrote these books. Wow!
The Tourist.
It was a good sit down movie. I am as everyone else a big Depp and Jolie fan so I of course went in expecting crazy characters and mind bending story line, and it just simply was....simple. The acting was good but everything was predictable and I yawned alot. But did enjoy it. Those big acters just make you have a big expectations. Danny and I laughed that it was alot of watching jolie's character strut about Venice in fancy clothes......so true. But again....I did enjoy watching it. And to be honest it was kindof refreshing watching Depp play a regular guy.
