{brudda Jeremy and me}
Dear Zack, we have a jar full of memories from this past year and now that it's the new year, we get to read through them all! I can't wait for the laughter that is to ensue.
Dear weather, you're cold. Like, really cold. Stop that.
Dear Hobbit, I liked you okay. I mean, I just read the book, and so as a book-reading-snob I'd be lying to say I wasn't slightly disappointed in the fact that you didn't follow closely to the storyline but I guess I can't be a snob now, can I? Also, three movies? I mean, REALLY?! That's just annoying. But hey, we went to see it with a huge group of family so it was a fun outing, plus it was a good movie, regardless. So, there's that. Now. Who wants to see Les Mis with me?!
Dear end-of-Christmas, you suck because you mean that my siblings are all going back to the east coast and I'm sad about that. They really need to all live here. That would be much better.
Dear Wii Jeopardy, Zack and I BEAT JEREMY last night, hollaaaaa!!! Just once. But hey. Once is all I ask for.
Happy Friday! Any fun plans for the weekend?

(Linking up with Ashley!)
Haha glad you finally won at Jeapordy. We just bought a Wii for Christmas, I'll have to remember to pick up that game. Sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteI KNOW!! We were so excited! AND YES, you need jeopardy! It's so fun :)

I love the jar full of memories! I'm definitely going to start that tradition when I get married =)
ReplyDeleteAwww yay! We had so much fun with it this year, and I am beyond excited to read through all of our silly pieces of paper :)

I LOVED the Hobbit. But it has been about 17 years since I read the book so .....I don't really remember the story perfectly. :) I did love the way they tied it so well to the LOTR movies. Although three movies for a book half as long as any of the LOTR books is pretty ridiculous. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah, I would have loved it much more if I hadn’t JUST read the book. Definitely. But I did still love it! Just.. you know, it’s hard to get over the whole not-following-the-story-perfectly and all that. ;)

I hate when siblings leave! :( My sister is on the East Coast too- where exactly are yours from?! Wii Jeopardy exists?! That sounds like WAY too much fun-- although i KNOW Jared would beat me every time haha.
ReplyDeleteI knowwww, it’s so sad!! :( I already miss them being here! One brother and his wife live in Florida and the other brother lives in Pennsylvania. So far away. And, girl, Wii Jeopardy is the BEST! SO much fun!
Deletexo
I would go to Les Mis with you! No one else will go with me! <3
ReplyDeleteAwww that'd be fun!! :) Yeah, Zack is like totally NOT into musicals, haha!
Deletexo
I so want to do the jar full of memories! We have a memory box that I started when we first started dating and I still LOVE looking through that! :) I want to see Les Mis SO BAD!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteXO
I love that you have a box of memories!! I have a few, scattered everywhere haha. I need to organize them all into one box! ;)
Deletexo
Seriously three movies! So pointless. I'm tired of cold weather too!
ReplyDeleteTHANK you! Agreed!
Deletexo
The jar full of memories sounds like fun! What a good way to reminisce about the past year with your hubby. Happy New Year to you :)
ReplyDeleteI’m so glad we did it! And it’s definitely going to turn into an every-year thing. :)
Deletexo
That's so awesome you do the memory jar! I can't wait to do it this year! Also, Les Mis...amazing. Worth the long movie time
ReplyDeleteYesss I’m so glad we did it! And of course, it’s going to be an annual thing now! :) And ohhh Les Mis. I cannot wait!
Deletexo
I'm super that the holidays are over... so depressing.
ReplyDeleteAs for my plans this weekend, tonight Matt went out with his guy friends and I (lamely) stayed in and just looked up random acts of kindness crap lol. LOVE IT THO.
Tomorrow I'm getting a pedi with a friend.
Sunday having dinner with the in-laws =)
Sounds like such a fun weekend!! :) I only ever get mani/pedis for weddings it seems, haha! And yay for dinner with the in-laws!
Deletexo
I love the whole memory jar idea! So fun and cute!
ReplyDeleteand I just saw Les Mis last night! It was absolutely amazing!
Ahhhh I seriously need to see Les Miz ASAP!!
Deletexo
The jar idea it cuuute. Might need to find a way to transition that into the Brotherton household ;) We saw the Hobbit too. M declared to everyone there that it is now his favorite movie. & I might need to see Les Mis again since I couldn't see much due to tears. Happy Weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteYesss do the memory jar! It's so fun! :) And I plan on wearing my glasses to Les Mis because I KNOW there will be lots of tears!
Deletexo
I definitely want to start a jar full of memories this year! What a great idea! I'm also trying to take a picture every day. Meanwhile, today is slipping by without one....
ReplyDeleteOooh good luck with the picture every day! I already take a million pictures a day so that one’s easy haha ;)
Deletexo
No, but really, cold weather...STOP! I'm ready for the spring. I've never been a fan of winter :(
ReplyDeleteUgh, I know, as soon as Christmas is over, I’m like OKAY! Ready to move onto spring! ;)
Deletexo
I really want to do the jar full of memories thing! But I know I would totally forget and there would be nothing in it lol
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah we forgot sometimes too, but then I’d go back to my journal and write down whatever I missed haha
Deletexo
i LOVE the jar full of memories idea!! first i need to find a man to make some memories with!! i have not seen the hobbit...HOWEVER, i did stay at a B&B last weekend that i'm fairly certain was made for hobbit-size people!
ReplyDeleteYES haha you knowww my brother’s single! ;) As for the hobbit-sized B&B hahaha omg please tell me you have pictures?!
