Happy 3 Years....

to us.

Yesterday was our THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY. How crazy right? Trust me it still blows my mind sometimes. I'll definitely blog more later about what we did (which includes whale watching, wine tasting in san clemente, and dining on italian food), but I just to say I'm having a great time in San Diego with the love of my life :)

Pretty dolphins!!

PS. Yesterday when we were whale watching, we ended up sitting next to this older couples (probably late 50s or early 60s) and they told us we were "the perfect couple." The dude practically wanted to adopt us, but it was so sweet to hear someone we didn't know say that. It really touched my heart. And it made us feel very blessed. We had a great day, and I will blog more about it later!

2 more days....

until I get to see this.

I'm definitely talking about this fish....

Movies List

I think I promised you guys a list of movies that Matt and I watched during the two weeks of his break. Well get ready to be impresssedd. Because honestly....I am. This is a lot of time clocked in with the dvd player! Plus these are some really really really good movies :)

MOVIES WE WATCHED IN 12 DAYS (OR MAYBE LESS)

the next 3 days - I am a big fan of elizabeth banks and russell crowe in this movie. I know as a law-abiding citizen, i shouldn't condone breaking out of jail. But realistically this movie is soooo kickbutt that it's hard to not be on their side. 

morning glory - I LOVE rachel mcadams (i think she's my favorite actress) and this movie is such a feel-good movie. Sure harrison ford is a grump (and i really don't like diane keaton), but rachel nails this movie. Definitely a cute movie.

the fighter - Matt liked this movie a lot. and i can see why christian bale won the oscar for this movie. his transformation is phenomenal. This movie isn't really my style (maybe because it takes place in boston and i hate the celtics?) but it was decent. Plus i like marky mark and amy adams (another favorite actress).

takers - I don't care what Matt and Bas say. I loved takers. Mainly because chris brown is in it (and I am soooooo team chris brown). Actually that's not even true. I loved takers because of Paul Walker. Let's be serious. He is beauttifuulll (and we picked him as Matt's doppleganger). I think overall, this situation is win-win!!

no strings attached - Such a cute movie! We loved it. My favorite part is when ashton is like "No wonder you never want to get breakfast together. You eat like a baby dinosaur." And matt turns to me and goes "YOU EAT LIKE A BABY DINOSAUR!" Thanks babe. Anyways, the movie is so cute. I mean ashton makes natalie a "period mix." Impressive.

the lincoln lawyer - For once in my life, I saw the movie before reading the book. And I am so impressed. Matthew McCounnaughy (or however you spell his name) nails the part. He is so good. And I just recently read another book by Michael Connelly called The Reversal and it is based on the same character as the Lincoln Lawyer. I am now a huge fan of Michael Connelly. But really, great movie.

127 hours - I am shocked that james franco cut off his arm and didn't win an oscar. Tough crowd. This movie is sooooo loopy and crazy and intense. I couldn't watch him cut off his arm, but matt said it was gruesome. Not for the faint of heart (or the weak of stomach either). But overall, interesting movie. Again, not my style.

love and other drugs - Cute movie. A lot of nudity (be warned). I love Jake gyllenhaal. It's also about the rise of viagra, so be prepared before you watch the movie. Overall, cute stuff. Anne hathaway was a little too indie for me, so I was too distracted by her ugly hair the whole movie.

megamind - Funny movie. Very cute. Good for kids and adults.

source code - Again, I love Jake. And I also love michelle monaghan. Interesting twist, but a good overall thriller. I liked it a lot. It really makes you think.

limitless - Bradley Cooper's first headlining movie. Success. Such a trippy concept. Can you imagine a pill that could let you access 100% of your brain. He was soooo brilliant. And the movie is really incredible. Huge fan.

I'd say considering how many movies we watched, this was a huge success. There really wasn't a movie I regret watching so overall, I'd say this was time well wasted :)

spring break twenty eleven!

alright so Im not nearly as good about blogging as margaret is but I will try to contribute as much as I can anyway.  she covered all the way to thursday so I get to take it from here!

basim came into town friday night to hang out with us which was really cool.  he was kind of going through a rough time as he just got out of a 2 1/2 year long relationship so he needed a little M  & M time to help cheer him up.  we picked him up at the airport and immediately went to downtown San Jose to watch the Giants game.  although they lost, we still had a blast watching the game and we got to experience it at a really cool restaurant called San Jose Bar and Grill.  margaret talked a lot about this place and it definitely lived up to the hype.

saturday consisted of one major thing:  BEER!  we all went into Oakland for a beerfest that was one of the best experiences in recent memory.  we payed $8 and got to taste/chug as much beer as we wanted for about 3 hours.  stands included Guinness, Anchor Steam, Black Pond, and many many more.  needless to say, we were feeling pretty good the rest of the day but when it came time to go home we were exhausted.  we were really glad we took BART, not only to be safe, but because we got to pass out the entire way home haha

baz and I headed home on sunday so that he would be home for school and I could get to see the Evan's family. being home was awesome for me, but since this is the matt + margaret project, ill leave out my reno adventures. to sum it all up, though, I did a lot of relaxing and got to see all of the people I wanted to see while I was home, which was a very important thing for me.

coming back over to San Jose the following thursday was a little different for one main reason:  I had Abby with me!  she came along for part of her spring break and I must say that it was a really good thing she did because I got to bond with her a lot while we were together.  it's been really cool to see her grow as a person over the years and I can't wait to see the things that she will accomplish in her life.

anyway, the remainder of our time in San Jose consisted of going to the Nickel arcade, BowlMore (some more!), getting donuts/coffee, and watching movies.  all in all, it was another really good time.  I know this is a much shorter post than margaret usually posts (she has A LOT to say haha), but it was very enjoyable for me to write this because in the midst of the stress of school it's nice to relive some of my relaxing break.  it definitely put me at ease.

so, look forward to more posts and future adventures as margaret is coming down to SD to see me for our anniversary and my very mature 22 year birthday.  it should be a really fun time filled with plenty of excitement!
