The Vow

Normally, I absolutely love chick flicks and "The Vow" isn't any different except for the fact that I cannot wait for it to come to theaters!  I'm typically a person who can wait for a good movie to come out of theaters but this one is an exception!

"The Vow" is a classic,based on real life, love story that follows the lives of Paige (Rachel McAdams) and Leo (Channing Tatum) who begin as a newlywed couple that fall victim to a tragic car accident that leaves Paige with severe memory loss, remembering nothing of Leo.  Leo, in turn, vows to win her affections and rekindle their romance.

When I first saw the movie I thought that it was a Nicholas Sparks movie that I had missed the book of (how could you not associate Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum in a love story to Nicholas Sparks?!) but I was completely wrong but excited none-the-less.  I have high expectations for this movie and I'm sure it won't disappoint.

From a marketing standpoint "The Vow" has done an excellent job. In addition to the website, "The Vow" also has a Facebook that is constantly updated, a Twitter page, YouTube, and has partnered with Parade Design engagement rings to name a few of the activities.  All are very well maintained and managed!  Not to mention the paired advertisements now have me looking at Parade Design engagements rings...

"The Vow" opens everywhere in theaters February 10th, just in time for Valentine's Day!
I'll be there, will you?

The Book List VS. The Never Ending To-Do List

I'm an avid reader and I love reading all different sorts of books.  Unfortunately, I don't always have the time to read running to a from different meetings, classes, and rehearsals while trying to balance homework. Something needs to be painfully cut, which forces me to fall behind on my reading list... way behind.

However! Next quarter I'm going on Co-op next quarter!!! In theory I will have lots of this thing called free time because I won't have to do homework!! Woo Hoo!

Thus my Spring Quarter Reading List:

1. A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin
(Book 2 in A Game of Thrones, I warned you I was far behind!!)

2. A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin
(Book 3 in A Game of Thrones)

3. A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin
(Book 4 in A Game of Thrones)

4. Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

5. Save Haven by Nicholas Sparks

6. The Help by Kathryn Stockett

7. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. 

Now I'm not so naive to think that I will actually get through my list (I frequently fill up my time with anything I can) but I think this is also a good start!  

Hope I got you interested in some good books and I'm always up for suggestions!

Wedding Scrapbook

While I was surfing I found this wonderful work of art!

It looks as though the artist used buttons, a cricket machine (for the decoration around the LOVE) or a cute pair of decoration scissors, two different paper layouts, heart stickers, small pink bows, and wonderful pictures of the bride and groom!

Sepia or Black and White photos add the perfect touch to this color scheme and the pink bows add a wonderful touch of color!
