Avatar, mmm mmm good.

It's not very often that I rave about a movie. I love movies, but usually hollywood just entertains me for a couple hours.

I'm not going to spoil anything. I'm not going to make a big long post about how wonderful the plot and visuals are. All I'm going to say is this:

Go see this movie at a nice theatre... soon.

It was simply amazing!

And props to Michelle Rodriguez "Yeah, you know what that is." Best line in a movie I've seen in a long time.

My cute wife

Kate is pretty awesome. It's not just that she's hot, funny, and easy going. She's also smart, frugal, and optimistic. She's everything I hoped I would end up with. And more.

One of my favorite things about Kate is her one liners that sometimes sneak out of her mouth before she thinks. For example, a few years ago she cut into a grapefruit for breakfast, and cut it vertically instead of horizontally. With a look of complete shock on her face, she turned to me and said "This isn't a grapefruit!", showing me what looked to be an orange, I assume.

Well sometimes her one liners are so funny I have to share them. Tonight at Walmart I had to use the restroom in a bad way. #1 was on it's way and I was dancing by the cashier deciding what to do. We had two kids with us, and Kate didn't have her wallet, so I decided to wait it out and go as soon as we checked out.

By the time we bagged everything and were on our way, the feeling had subsided so I just decided to wait until we got home. I breezed right by the bathrooms on the way out to the car, and Kate exclaimed, to me and the shoppers around us, "Honey! You need to use the potty!"

In all fairness, our 4 year is potty-training right now. I'll cut her some slack on this one. :)

I love my wife.

Motab

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is absolutely amazing. It might be one of the few aspects of the church that even the anti-'s can say we do well. They are perfectly on pitch and, now that they are more youthful, sound crisp and right on beat.

And when they sing something from the Messiah, with that HUGE pipe organ and an orchestra as a background... well it just doesn't get better than that.

And to stack on top of that, Kate allowed me to hookup my huge speakers from college to the TV for the first time in years, so we could hear the highs and feel the lows.

Amazing!
