Girls Weekend

As you know, Dan is still in Myrtle Beach with the baseball team so Lexi & I have been on our own. On Friday night we stayed in & I got caught up on some laundry & then we watched Twilight; it was such crappy weather out I didn't feel like going anywhere. When we woke up on Saturday morning it was sunny & clear skies so my idea of taking a trip over to the Reston Town Center was able to work out after all. After we got cleaned up & I called my Mom to wish her a Happy Birthday :o), we drove over to Reston. It was a little chilly but not cold enough to make you miserable. We got there around Noon & as I was taking Lexi out of her car seat a small family with 2 little kids were walking to their car & spotted us. The little girl said, "look Mom, look at the froo froo dog". We all started laughing & they wanted to come over & pet her & see her car seat. Once we got into the Town Center there were other people out walking their dogs so we got to be social. Smaller dogs Lexi is alright with, the larger dogs are a different story; she would bark & show her teeth if they got close to her so I had to keep my distance. We ran into the most beautiful Goldendoodle named Goldie & the owners also had a Jack Russell Terrier named Reagan (super hyper). Goldie was so sweet & laid back but of course Lexi couldn't stop trying to rip her face off so our social visit with them was cut short. We then ran into a Havanese named Izzybee. Yes, I said Izzybee. Very odd. Her owner would not stop saying her name either, I got to the point where if I heard the owner say Izzybee one more time I was going to have to smack her. She also felt the need to point out exactly where she lived & exactly where she worked which was right across the street from the Town Center. Thank goodness I was able to slip away while she was distracted by some labs that were walking by.
The little park that they have at the Town Center is very nice & they had the fountains going while we were there, here's a photo: When the fountain would come on Lexi would tilt her head from side to side like what is that? It was pretty funny. While we sat at the little park Lex rolled around in the grass & I gave her a rub down while we sat in the sun; it was very relaxing. Here's a photo of her watching the fountain: We continued our walk around the second half of the Town Center & decided to take another break by the big fountain at the entrance, it was so pretty & just the sound of the water was so calming:
Lex was a big hit with the kiddos & did very well while they would run up to her & pet her. She even gave a little girl a kiss on the face. So sweet. After we got home our groomer, Jon, came to the house to cut Lexi. As he was taking her out to the van he was talking to her saying, "hi Lexi, how have you been? Have you had a good week?" It was pretty funny.
After Lexi's haircut I went & did a little shoe shopping & grocery shopping. :o) DSW was having a HUGE sale & I got the cutest Steve Madden stiletto heels; I'll post a photo when I get a chance. They are super cute. I was very excited that I found them in my size. I was able to restrain myself from only purchasing 1 pair of shoes but it was extremely difficult. Saturday night Lexi & I watched New Moon, yes it was an Edward Cullen kind of weekend.
Sunday was a total drag because I got called into work at 9:30 a.m. & I didn't get home until 7:30 p.m.(!) Can you believe that? I don't even know what to say. I was completely miserable, starving & exhausted by the time I got home. I just keep telling myself 2 more weeks, only 2 more weeks.

Pure & Utter Relief

For those of you that are not on my immediate email list, I have some great news to share......I have accepted a new position at a law firm in Fairfax, VA & have officially given my 2 weeks notice to my boss! I am very excited. In the words of Jason Aldean (singing) "quit my job, flipped off the boss, took my name off the payroll (screw you man)". Well, not exactly that way but on my way back to work on Friday after lunch that song came on the radio.
Anyway, I had an interview on Monday afternoon with The Duff Law Firm & since then I have been impatiently waiting for Friday to roll around because that is when Nancy, the office manager, was going to make her decision about the position. All week I had been replaying the interview over & over in my head thinking of ways that I could have said this & that better. The waiting was driving me crazy. I even woke up at 5:00 a.m. on Friday morning & couldn't go back to sleep because I was worried about the job offer & not hearing good news. I didn't want to have to start over with my job search & not have an end in sight with my current job. Finally around 12:30 p.m. I heard from Nancy who extended the offer to me saying that I was her first choice during the entire interviewing process. :D I was very pleased to hear that. After my nerves were calmed by the new job offer the nerves started to set in about telling my current boss that I was quitting. I had been looking forward to that day for so long & now I didn't know what to say. I was thinking it was going to go badly but fortunately he decided to take the high road & accept my resignation in the end. I now feel like I have a weight that is lifted off my shoulders. I am definitely going to miss the good days at my old office, i.e. when the attorneys are in Court & its only the girls in the office. It makes me sad just thinking about it because I could not have made it through these last 2 years without Valerie. I'm really going to miss her.
My last day at O'Connor & Vaughn, LLC is Thursday, April 8. I start my new job at The Duff Law Firm on Monday, April 12. I am driving up to PA to visit my family on Friday, April 9 for a long weekend visit. Thanks to everyone that helped during this whole process. I especially want to thank my adorable & supporting husband who talked me down from quitting probably every single week & gave me the strength to hang in there until I had another job lined up. I couldn't have done it without you Lover - you complete me. :o)

Jealousy & Some Bullshit

Spring Break has arrived for Herndon High School which means Dan is on his way to Myrtle Beach for a week with the baseball team. Yep, I'm jealous. It happens every year. He left this morning at 6:00 a.m. & even though he'll be going to practices & playing games while he's down there, its still going to be a nice week away for him. Man could I use a week away. So last night we went out to eat at Uncle Julio's in the Reston Town Center; guess what kind of food they serve? You guessed it, MEXICAN. Anyway, we went out to eat & sat outside, basically a little date time before he had to leave this morning. At 7:00 p.m. he had to meet the other coaches to pick up the minivans that they are driving down to Myrtle Beach. The van that Dan was assigned to ended up having a flat tire so they gave him a brand new Chrysler Town & Country minivan which is like the Cadillac of minivans; this thing is amazing. When Dan brought it home Lexi & I got in it so he could show off some of the cool things that it does. We both said that maybe driving a minivan wouldn't be that bad once we have kids, especially if we got one like the Chrysler. We've always sworn that we would never drive a minivan when we had kids & that we would stick to SUVs but after sitting in this one I think my mind has been changed. I even think Lexi liked it. :o)
So Dan gets home next Thursday evening & while he's gone I don't really have anything planned. I guess I'll think of something to do when the weekend comes but so far I think my time will be used for spring cleaning. Yes, I live an exciting life when my husband is away. Aren't you jealous? What I had really wanted to do was take Lexi over to the Reston Town Center on Saturday & walk around for a while & look at the shops but the weather is pretty crappy here today & I'm not sure if it will be a wet mess by tomorrow. I guess we'll just have to wait & see. When Dan & I were at dinner last night there were so many people walking their dogs around & actually taking them inside the shops; I could do that with Lexi as long as I carried her while I was in a store.
Now its time for some bullshit. The other night I brought the mail in from our box & saw that we got something from our HOA; I was busy doing other things so I didn't bother opening it right then but when Dan got home around 10:00 p.m. he opened it. At dinner last night he informed me that we received a letter from the HOA stating that we were in violation of one of their many rules & that we received a $50.00 fine. I, of course, was pissed when I heard this because it brought me back to the "nuisance" letter that we received from them a few years ago regarding Lexi's barking which was total BS. I even wrote them a letter disputing the complaint & stating that I would appear at a hearing in front of the board with my attorney & signed affidavits from our next door neighbors. I later got a letter stating "that would not be necessary". Man that still gets me fired up just typing about it. So anyway, back to the new issue. They are fining us $50.00 because we left our trash can on our front step for 2 days. The reason for us doing this was because it was absolutely pouring out for 3 days so when trash day rolled around Dan didn't want to drag the trash can through the mud & wet grass behind our house so he ended up putting it out in front. We didn't want to take the trash can back through the house when it was soaking wet so we waited for the rain to stop & then brought it in. Apparently someone took a photo of the front of our house on March 18 showing the trash can sitting there & I don't mean a 4 x 6 photo, this thing was an 8 x 10 photo. Dan seems to think the photo was taken by one of our neighbors who is on the board because the two of them had a little falling out when we got that huge snow storm & they haven't talked since. I'm not sure who took the photo & frankly I really don't care; what I want to know is who comes up with the amount that they are going to fine you with? Who thinks of a $50.00 fine for leaving a trash can out? $50.00! That's a little excessive if you ask me. Ridiculous. I haven't decided if I'm going to dispute this yet; the letter says they are giving us 10 days to file an appeal with the board & to request a hearing on the issue. A total waste of time but I just can't bring myself to write out a $50.00 check & make it payable to them. Dan told me to just pay them & get it over with because it was his fault. That's not the point Lover. I want some time to bitch about it!

Sunny & Relaxing Weekend

Since the weather was SO nice we spent most of our time outside this weekend. Dan had a home game on Friday night & I ended up meeting his sister Kelly (& 4 of her students) at the game. The Hornets had a pretty good turnout but unfortunately they did not come away with a win; it was so close too, (0-1). :o(
On Saturday Dan had practice in the morning so Lex & I slept in & laid around most of the morning. I had borrowed the movie Whip It from our neighbors Laura & Evan (they got it on Netflix) & I've been wanting to see it since it came out in the theaters so they were kind enough to let me borrow it. So I watched it & I absolutely loved it. It was such a cute movie & I love Ellen Page's acting. I've put the movie on my LONG list of DVDs that I want to buy, eventually. After the movie was over I finally got cleaned up & started on the house work around 2:00 p.m. I even got the energy to mop the hardwood floors which I've been needing to do for weeks but just couldn't bring myself to do it. Laziness, yes. I would like to mention that I now have another object to add to my list of broken knobs/tools & that is our Bruce mop that we bought at Lowe's after we purchased our hardwood floors. I completely snapped the mop handle & instead of the mopping being an easy task I was forced to get on my hands & knees & mop with only the cloth part of the mop which was a lot harder than I thought it would be. After Dan vacuumed the stairs he noticed that I was on my hands & knees & said, "what did you do now?" :o( My "man hands" have been wreaking havoc on our house for years; I wonder if I will ever be able to control them? Probably not.
Saturday night we decided to stay in & cook out instead of making our weekly trip out to Don Pablo's. But don't think for one second that we opted to make something else besides mexican food...we made fajitas. :o) We L-O-V-E our mexican food, yes we do! I even commented to Dan while we were out on the deck scarfing down our dinner that I could eat mexican food every night; he commented back with a smile & a "me too". After dinner we had our college friend, TR & his girlfriend, over for dessert & drinks. It was nice to see them & get to visit. Earlier in the day on Saturday Dan & I had purchased some deck lights & I was able to string them up before our company came over; here's a photo of part of our deck lit up: (The stringing of these lights were a huge pain in the ass because I had to nail them up instead of using tacks like I thought would work. I probably smashed my fingers with the hammer at least 10 times, never again. You're probably wondering why Dan didn't hang the lights for me & that's because I am so anal that I wanted them to be hung perfectly so I had him make dinner while I did the hammering.)
While our company was over we decided to pull out our ceramic platter that we made on Valentine's Day for its first debut: (The cookies & brownies that it held were absolutely yummy.) :o)
On Sunday Dan had lessons from 11 - 3 so before he left he had the idea of taking Lexi to the high school & letting her run around the fields; he had to go over there to paint the lines for the lacrosse game that was scheduled for Monday. We made our way over there & after some running around & chasing one another I asked her if she wanted some water & she came sprinting at me full speed while I was getting her bottled water out of your back pack & even though she only weighs 10 lbs. she completely knocked me over; little stink. She was so exhausted by the time we got home & laid on the couch the rest of the night. While Lexi & I were recovering from our trip to the high school, Dan made a short trip to the grocery store to get a few things for the week & decided to buy me the New Moon DVD. He's so sweet. I was so excited & giddy to watch it that I popped it in after dinner. :o)

I hope everyone enjoyed the nice weather this weekend.

Confession

Alright. A few months ago I watched 17 Again on HBO for the first time which stars Zac Efron. Since then, I have watched it every time it has come on which is usually on the weekends. I just can't help it. I think he is beautiful. I was never into his acting or him when the High School Musicals came out & to be honest I have never even watched one of those movies but 17 Again did it for me. I mean come on, look at that face, that hair, those cheekbones. Am I the only one that sees it? He's got one of those faces that makes you feel ugly just by looking at him. After watching 17 Again for the third or fourth time, I started getting that weird feeling, you know, the one that makes you feel like a pervert for seeing the movie so many times because of one person thats in it? In order to make myself feel better I decided to Google his age & found out that he is 22! Now I don't feel so gross that I've been staring at this kid. Or guy? Or man? Whatever he is. I sincerely hope that I am not the only 27 year old out there that feels this way about Mr. Efron. Am I really that crazy? Come on, really? All I can say is Vanessa Hudgens, you are one lucky, lucky lady. ;o)

P.S. When I logged into our blog account this morning I realized that I only have 3 and a half more days until New Moon comes out on DVD. So excited!

Stress/Relaxation/Friends/Stress - In That Order

A few weeks ago my friend Nikki & I decided to get together the weekend of the 12th. During the week we decided to have a spa day & found a spa in DC that looked promising called the Capital City Club & Spa. Since Nik lives in Maryland we tried to come up with a place that we could meet roughly half way between our homes. I was excited to have a spa day & get a massage, I hadn't had one for at least a year & of course I was excited to see Nikki. :o)
After I got ready I left the house around 1:15 p.m. because the mapquest directions that I printed out said it would take me 45 minutes to get there so I wanted to plan enough time in case I got lost which is always inevitable when I'm driving. Nikki & I's appointments were at 2:30 p.m. I ended up getting lost trying to find The Capital Hilton Hotel & didn't arrive at the spa until 2:32 p.m.; I was suppose to arrive 15 minutes before my appointment. :o( Nikki had already been taken back for her appointment so after I got changed into my robe, I went in to get my aromatherapy massage. I was able to choose from 3 scents: (1) orange citrus, (2) lavender or (3) honey; I chose the orange citrus which smelled amazing & after a 60 minute rub down I was completely relaxed & sleepy. I finally got to see Nikki when I went back to the locker room & we decided to go into the steam room for a bit. I have never gone into a steam room before but Dan swears by them & is always going into the one at the gym when he's finished working out, so I thought this can't be that bad. Nik & I went in with our robes on & soaked up the eucalyptus smell but after a minute I was ready to get out. I don't enjoy sweating my butt off except when I'm working out & I had curled my hair earlier & put on make up so I knew that was a waste of time after stepping into the steam room. I held on for another couple minutes because I could tell that Nikki was enjoying it; I finally spoke up & told Nik that I had to get out because I couldn't stand all this sweating. She laughed & agreed, thank God. We decided to get dressed & find a restaurant/cafe nearby to get an appetizer & sit & chat for a bit. When we stepped outside it was pouring down rain & we were told that a restaurant was about 2 blocks down so we started walking. After arriving at the restaurant & realizing that it didn't open until 5:30 p.m. we kept walking to find another one. Every restaurant that we came to after that was closed; apparently restaurants/cafes in DC close at 4:00 p.m. on the weekends; what the hell?! By this time my feet were wet & Nikki was completely soaked; I did have an umbrella but Nikki has that model height working for her so trying to compensate for her height & my shortness with a small umbrella just was not working. Poor thing. I felt terrible. We finally found a bar that was open & went in to dry off. We ordered a flatbread pizza with roast beef & salami (very weird combo but we were so hungry that it actually tasted kinda good). After a while of chatting & catching up, we decided to walk back to our cars & head home. We said our goodbyes & I walked back to the parking garage to get my car. After that the day just got worse. I got completely turned around when trying to get home & I had no idea where I was. After going down the wrong streets & turning around about 100 times I called Dan & had a melt down; tears started running down my face & I had been driving around Thomas Circle for about 15 minutes because I had no idea which road to take; I was in hell. Circle hell. After Dan tried calming me down, he got on his computer to try & figure out where I was & try to get me back home. If it wasn't for him I would still be in D.C. driving in circles & sleeping in my car. A trip home that should have taken me 45 minutes took me 2 hours. I will never drive into D.C. again & I told Dan that the next time I try & make plans to go into D.C. he needs to remind me of that day & how miserable I was.
I was so happy that I was able to see Nikki & have some girl time but I am so glad that day is over too; I have never been so stressed & worried. Thanks for sharing the highlights of Saturday with me Nik, it was great to catch up. Love ya! :o)

Movie Review

Last night was Dan & I's date night & we went out to dinner & then to see Remember Me. I had ordered our tickets online on Friday because I was afraid it would be sold out due to me hearing everyone saying that they were going to opening night. The only available times were 6:05 p.m. & 8:55 p.m.; since I don't get out of work most nights until 6:00, 8:55 it was. When Dan found out what time the movie started he had said, "man, that's late; I don't know if I will be able to stay awake". That didn't bother me because at least he was going & I wasn't sitting in the theater alone; he could snooze all he wanted. When we walked in after getting our popcorn & soda, the theater was pretty packed & of course there were a ton of girls for a "girls night out" kind of night. After we found our seats Dan said, "do you smell that?" Me: "No, what it is?" Dan: "Too much girliness in here." Me: "There are men in here too." Dan: "Where?" Me: "There's one 4 rows down & I think I see one in the front row." Dan: (giving me a look) like, oh wow, 3 guys in the entire theater. Of course the theater was 98% women but what did he care, he was going to sleep anyway.
As I told you before, this movie was not considered a love story or a chick flick. Of course the movie was about a relationship but it didn't focus mostly on that. For one thing Robert Pattinson gets the crap kicked out of him in this movie & it was a lot sadder than I thought it was going to be; my eyes got teary several times. The ending was a total shock to me & I didn't even see it coming. All in all I thought it was a good movie & Robert Pattinson did some good acting in it. I thought Emilie de Ravin was also very good.
In case you're wondering if Dan made it through the movie, no he did not. He made it about 30 minutes in & then passed out on my shoulder with popcorn crumbs all over him. As we were walking to our car he asked if the movie was any good & I told him I liked it. His response was "I knew I wasn't going to make it". That's OK Lover, at least you came with me. :)

This Just Made My Day

After arriving at work this morning & thinking it was going to be a normal day, I logged into my email & noticed that the official Eclipse trailer was released TODAY! I was so excited to see it & now can't wait for June 30. I don't know why I do this to myself because now I can't focus on anything except reading peoples' responses to the trailer & the news that is surrounding it. I'd like to say that I'm waiting patiently but that is definitely a lie. I can't freakin' wait! Here is the website that you can click over to & watch it: ECLIPSE TRAILER. I was thinking about adding the you tube version in this post but this website gives you a bigger screen to view it on so its so much better. Enjoy watching it & don't feel bad if you decide to replay it a couple times after your first viewing, I have watched it 3 times so far this morning. :o)

Good/Not So Good Weekend

This weekend was all over the place; there were some great parts, good parts & not so good parts. First off, I had signed up to go to another meetup on Friday night which was a happy hour at Vinifera in the Westin Hotel just down the street from my office. I had emailed the organizer earlier in the day to see if we were going to meet at a specific spot & she emailed me back to say the lobby of the hotel. So, at 5:50 p.m. I drove over there & we were to meet at 6:00 p.m. After about 10 minutes & no one had shown up, I tried calling Dan so he could check my email & see if there was a message that the event was cancelled but he was at practice & I couldn't check my email on my phone because I don't have internet or a blackberry. So after 30 minutes of waiting & realizing that no one was coming, I went & sat at the bar to have a drink because I was already out. After sitting down at the bar a guy asked me if I had been stood up & after answering yes, by a group of girls, he offered to buy me a drink. After my glass of wine I drove home & the night did perk up. Our neighbors, Laura & Evan, invited us to come over after their kiddos went to sleep & so we hung out with them all night, drinking beer/wine & socializing. We had such a great time & were so glad they invited us over; we left their place at 1:30 a.m. so you know we had a good time. :o)
On Saturday Dan had a baseball scrimmage at 3:00 p.m. so after some housework & a long walk with Lexi I went over there to watch & be supportive. I ended up staying for 2 hours & was completely frozen by the time I left. I was so cold that I couldn't feel my toes or my fingers. I did take a blanket with me & I was wearing a jacket, scarf & gloves but I was still freezing. I figured that staying for 2 hours fulfilled my wifely duties so I happily walked back to my car & cranked my heat up until I stopped shaking. Unfortunately the Herndon Hornets did not win the scrimmage. :o(
On Sunday Dan had lessons from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. so I had made plans with my friend Ashley. The plan was to drive up to her new place in Bethesda, MD, grab lunch & then do some shopping. Well, as I was pulling out of my neighbors parking spot, I rear ended a Lexus SUV. I did not see her at all. The driver was visiting her sister that lived across the street from us. The damage was to my right back bumper & her passenger side door. Here is a photo of my car: :o( Poor Daisy. She actually has scratches on her that I caused. Here is a photo of the Lexus: Obviously her damage was worse than mine. Thankfully my neighbor, Colleen, was home & heard the collision & came outside to make sure I was OK. At that point I was shaking & almost ready to start crying; I had never hit anyone before. If it wasn't for Colleen I would have probably lost it; she had also informed me that the woman I hit was parked illegally because she was in a fire lane. We decided to call the police to see if we needed to cover any more bases besides exchanging car insurance, phone numbers & addresses. When the police showed up he started yelling at the woman because she was parked illegally & telling her that her car can be towed if she parks there again. After 40 mins of taking care of everything, I was on my way to Bethesda to meet Ashley. I'm glad I was able to make it up there because I had not seen her new place & had never been to Bethesda before. We did a little shopping & I ended up spending less than $20 so Dan was pretty happy about that. When I got home Dan & I went to dinner at Los Toltecos which is a mexican restaurant that our neighbors, Laura & Evan, had recommended to us. It was great food but of course they serve you a standard meal which is not enough for Dan. The next time we go he'll have to order 2 meals or just eat more chips & salsa.
On Monday I took the day off & decided to visit Home Depot & Lowe's to get some ideas on new kitchen countertops & redoing our 2 bathrooms upstairs. I never realized it before but after pricing certain items that I'm going to need at both stores, Home Depot is surprisingly cheaper. We had ended up going with Lowe's for our hardwood floors but now I'm thinking if we had gone to Home Depot first we could've probably saved money. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. I'm not going to dwell on it now because they are already paid off. I figured out that redoing our master bathroom (which is the one that I use) will cost us a few hundred dollars & that includes a pedestal sink, paint, mirror & storage cabinet. I will be taking this project on myself & I have to say I'm pretty excited about it. I think once its done & I can actually say, "yes I did that all by myself" I will be very proud. Just the fact that Dan is already telling me that he doesn't think I can do it, makes me want to do it even more. I'll show you Lover! Now I may not be flying completely solo because my neighbor, Evan, offered to help me if I needed it which I may take him up on that offer but I'm hoping to be able to do it on my own. So we shall see; wish me luck!

Thanks to Laura, Evan & Ashley for a nice weekend; we're glad we were able to spend time with you guys & a special thanks to Colleen for keeping me sane during my terrible car incident. =]

Sharing

So I just realized that I have posted on our blog every day this week, so far. Wow! It must be because my productiveness is at an all time low so I'm finding other ways to keep myself entertained during the work day.
When I logged into my blogger account this morning, like I do every morning, I noticed that one of the blogs that I follow, Ex Hot Girl, had posted a TMI Thursday post. For those of you that are not familiar with the meaning of TMI it means Too Much Info. but I'm sure most of you already knew that. This post is absolutely hilarious which is why I am sharing it with you. Now, if you get grossed out by bodily functions this is not the post for you. As you probably remember I had mentioned in one of our past posts that I started following Ex Hot Girl's blog when I signed up for a blogger account. Her posts are hilarious & she's never afraid to be too blunt or too truthful. I am definitely going to share this post with my brother, Ben, because he laughs hysterically whenever someone says "poop" in front of him so I know he'll get a kick out of this. Yes he is my older brother & is 4 years older than me but he is still holding on to his childish mentality when something strikes him funny but that is one of the things I love about him. Well enough talk, click over to Ex Hot Girl & read TMI Thursday!

Waiting For March 12. . .

So I can't wait for next Friday when Remember Me is released in theaters. Every time the preview comes on TV I drop what I'm doing & run into the living room to watch it. I am definitely a Robert Pattinson fan; how can you not love that face or even that hair? Now my cousin, Lissa, on the other hand is a little more of a die hard fan than I am. I don't think I would chase him down the street screaming his name if by chance I saw him in public but I KNOW Lis would. Don't lie, you know you would! :o)
Anyway, I think this movie will be a pivotal moment in Pattinson's movie career & give him a chance to break out from just being Edward Cullen in the Twilight series. Of course if it weren't for Twilight I would have never known he existed; I was never a fan of Harry Potter.
Remember Me is a drama that involves Pattinson, Emilie de Ravin & Pierce Brosnan. The story line is about two people who fall in love as they cope with tragedy. As stated in several reviews, this is NOT a chick flick or a love story so I'm sure if you drag your hubby/boyfriend/fiance to the movie he won't be hating you for it later on. I, of course, will be dragging Dan with me. :o)

Here is the trailer if you have not seen it yet:
