Last night Michael and I celebrated Valentine's day! We headed out for a movie, and then to dinner at one of our favorite places. Of course my husband volunteered to take me to a place I have been begging to eat at, only to realize it was still closed due to the snow. Stupid snow.
Before dinner we went to see "Dear John", the new movie based on a Nicholas Sparks book. I love Nicholas Sparks, and I am the type that thinks a movie never lives up to the book, but I have always liked the movies. This movie was a little different. I read the book awhile ago, so I didn't remember all of it, but I remembered the basic details. Well the movie was very different, and I was VERY angry about the premise. Now, don't get me wrong, the premise was the same as the book, but I read the book pre-deployment, and early on in Michael and I's relationship. My feelings about the military and deployment have changed greatly, needless to say. I was so mad at the idea of this girl leaving her boyfriend while he was deployed, I couldn't really enjoy the rest of the movie.
Yes, I know, it's a movie, but it still annoys me so much. There are people who actually do that to their significant others while they are deployed. Cheat on them, spend all of their money, leave them....I think it's absolutely ridiculous. Anyway, the movie got me pretty fired up, and I walked out wishing I had seen something different. (I blame this on the Irish temper).
We went to dinner afterwards which was nice, as always. They had a champagne special and that hooked me! We even had dessert - an amazing peanut butter pie. I swear they had to have brought us 1/4 of the pie! Sorry Weight Watchers....it had to have been 50 points. Ah well...there's always next week!
