Julie and Julia


This past weekend I went to the movie, Julie and Julia. AWESOME. I left very much uplifted, inspired, and intrigued to go out and buy the cookbook and several other books that it took to make this movie. Meryl Streep does an amazing job at portraying Julia Child. WOW. She was hilarious. It was awesome to see the relationship between Julia and her husband. The support and love was great. I left the movie feeling like I needed to stop sweating the small stuff and that I really needed to learn how to relax again. Before this year I was never sweating the small stuff. I was so happy go lucky and did whatever floated my boat! Since lots of stress and events have come into our lives, (grandpa coming to live with my mom and dad, and having a baby) I've forgotten about living care free. Now, not all of this has to do with this one movie, but it is really nice to see a movie where someone is as carefree as you'd like to be, but also with our recent visit to the temple. Jon and I were blessed to be able to go to the temple and do sealings together. It was an amazing experience and really helped me focus on my family. Especially Jon and my relationship. I feel very blessed to be able to have a companion that can take me to the temple where we can become closer as best friends and companions.
