Last night we had a fun date night with our good friends the Sorensens. We went and saw the movie "In Time" with Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfred, I think that's how you spell it? I absolutely loved the movie! It was so interesting and I liked how different it was but you could also compare it to real life. I thought all the actors were perfect. It was a hit, all 4 of us liked the movie!
Then we went back to the Sorensen's apartment and watched our wedding videos! This may sound strange, but it was such a fun activity, I would definitely recommend couples doing this. You get to know so much about the other couple just from their wedding videos. Brent and Jamie are so cute together, I love their story. They have known each other since elementary school. They are such a fun and positive couple, we love being around them and are really going to miss them when they move next semester.
During our wedding video we had a section where Mark's brother interviewed us individually, like the newly wed game. I have always hated that video because it was 10:00 at night and we had gone swimming that day and I just felt ugly and grimey. Jamie kept saying "you look so beautiful, even with just a ponytail in your hair. I would never look that good in a video." I thought she was just being herself and being nice but after she said that about 3 more times I realized she was being sincere. I told her I didn't think I looked good and she made a good point, we are our biggest critics. That is soo true. I guess after almost 23 years of looking at myself in the mirror, I know all my flaws.
Why are we so hard on ourselves? Other people don't see all the flaws that we see in ourselves. But then we see girls who look confident and assume they are cocky and full of themselves {which, they are 98% of the time.}
So is it possible for confidence and humily to coexist?
In other news, today I went shopping with Jamie and she helped me pick something to wear to the wedding! I'm so glad she was there because I probably wouldn't have even tried it on if she wasn't there because of the price tag. But it ended up being 20% off. Now if only she could be at the wedding with me...
Tonight we had another couples night! We went over to the Langi's cute new apartment and the boys watched football and played video games while we watched the Justin Bieber movie, lisa tried on her whole wardrobe, re-activated my twitter account and burned off the pizza and cocoa bean laughing. It was such a great night! Thanks jamie and lisa! #neversaynever
