Away We Go and some 4th of July!

So I finished The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman a few days ago. I first watched the movie, which I enjoyed very much and decided I would read the book. The book was excellent, and was quite different from the movie. I understand a lot more on what the movie was talking about now that I read the book. I thought the ending was very interesting and am kind of excited to read the other two books in the trilogy, I just have to muster up some money to buy the others.

On July 3rd, I saw Away We Go with Devin at the theater. I thought it was an excellent movie! Very funny and also portrayed a really nice sweet story and life lesson. I think it is probably one of my favorite movies, up there with Juno and Knocked Up. (Devin finds it funny that all my favorite movies are about pregnant girls)! I thought John Krasinski was really funny, funnier than he is in The Office. The movie started out really funny, but as it went along it got kinda sad. I even cried at one part in the movie. But it was just excellant and I think everyone needs to go see it!

July 4th was kind of boring for me. Devin and I went up to my Aunt's camp with my mom. He and I took a walk and then went kayaking on the lake. Devin cannot kayak worth crap, :] He almost whacked my in the head with his paddle like 20 times. We then went back home and drove out to our local firework display. We got a great spot right underneath them with a whole other crowd of people, a couple times a firework went to low and you could see a big old flame fall on top of someone that was 50 feet in front of us, but all well :] I had a lot of fun.
