I'm getting marrried in 39....wait....what!?!? 39 days!! That's. In. Sane. I'm so ready for everything to be over, though. I'm really excited for the big day, not so excited for all the little days leading up to it. I'm trying to take it one day at a time. Whew.

I'm probably more excited for Europe!!! in 46 days. SO ready to be back in the Mediterranean.

Dan and I get our new place on July 1st. There is a lot happening in the next couple of months!

Sidenote: I finished reading My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. Holy moly twist ending! Waiting for the film to be released later this month. I'm now on to Julie and Julia by Julie Powell. This book is also being made into a movie. Meryl Streep as Julia Child, can't wait!!

Went to the midnight screening of Dan Brown's/Ron Howard's 'Angels and Demons' last night. I loved looking at the Roman scenery (and got a little more excited to visit in July!!). They cut a lot out of the book, but I'm sure if they had tried to keep everything in there, the movie would have been too long. I still really enjoyed it!

If you haven't read the book, YOU MUST DO THIS. It was one of the best books I've ever read. I think I might actually read it again :)

Also, saw a trailer for a new Meryl Streep and Amy Adams movie "Julie and Julia." Looks adorable. (Seriously adorable. Watch the trailer here. Watch it.)I bargained with Dan and said I'd sit through Transformers 2 if he went to J&J with me :) I love negotiating!

Interesting flick. I rented it Monday night. Penelope Cruz won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress and I always like seeing if they deserve it. She was in the movie for about 33 minutes. Her performance was good, but I probably wouldn't have even noticed if she didn't get an oscar nomination and award.

I'm also told I need to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I honestly had/have no desire to see it, but then I learned that it's based on a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. This makes me more inclined to rent it. Yay for Netflix.
