Becoming Jane

For those of you who are 1) Jane Austen fans and/or 2) have seen the preview (it is part of the Harry Potter previews, I believe, plus probably some others) for the upcoming movie Becoming Jane and are therefore interested in seeing the movie, I have a great thing for you.

I went to the website to look around today and they are offering screenings on Wednesday, August 7, in most major cities. You can sign up for a free screening ticket that will let you and up to two other people into the theatre. I have done it already and will look forward to seeing/hearing that anyone else may be there to join me (although I realize that many of you that actually read this don't live anywhere near me, but if you do go, I hope to hear your reaction to the movie).

Funny, funny commercial!

We were watching tv tonight and we saw this commercial and I couldn't stop laughing. We were watching on a t-vo machine, so we were able to rewatch it 3 times! I immediately knew we had to put it up here. Hope it makes you laugh a few times. It will take you right to the page, sorry.

Doing Well

Sorry about the lack of updates. Life has been crazy around our neck of the woods. Pret has been insanely busy with school, but is doing well. He took two tests today passing one and getting a 90% on the other. He was worried about not passing the latter class, but will do great in the end. It has definitely been a family job with his parents and my family all pitching in to help at various points. We only have about 3 weeks left before we both have a week-long break, so we are both counting down the days and trying not to look too far ahead for fear of becoming depressed.

We have enjoyed a fun weekend with my family--hopefully some picture/videos to post on that soon.

Hope all is well with everyone else and I apologize for the lack of updates--that will change once we are back in the normal swing of things.
