Film Review: Becoming Jane


I am probably the last person to see this movie, but I just saw it over the weekend and I give it 4 stars. So good. I not a huge fan of Anne Hathaway. In fact, I really detest her in most things, but I ended up really liking her in this movie. I also have mad, mad love for James McAvoy. He is good in everything. He is not traditionally good looking, but when he plays the romantic lead in movies (see Atonement for further proof) he is phenomenal. He needs to be in many more movies. If he can make me like Anne Hathaway, he is a true miracle worker. My goal this weekend is a James McAvoy movie marathon. I plan on seeing Last King of Scotland, Penelope, and Wanted. This last one includes Angelina Jolie so both Spencer and I win. :)

June and July recap and my pledge to my blog readers

Okay, so I have been hearing from a lot of people that are pissed off that I have not updated my blog in 2 months. But I have wonderful excuses. So I will fill you in briefy on all my weekends in June and July.

June: 14-15: I was heavily involved with my work's convention this weekend. Spencer took Lilly to St. George to do the Utah Summer Games triathlon. I have no pictures of either of these things. Spencer did not take pictures and I can't remember much of what happened.



June 20 & 21: Spencer and were both involved with the Wasatch Back. He was a runner, I was a driver. There are so many things to say about this, but I will try to be brief: 2 hours of sleep on North Summit high school's gym floor, 13 miles of running (Spencer) 125 miles of driving (me), total exhaustion and loss of sanity (everyone)




June 27, 28: Next up, Lavender Days in Mona, UT. My company owns this farm and this is where we grow some of our lavender to make essential oils. I ended up scrubbing feet for 2 days. Here's Lilly getting a foot scrub. There is also jousting at Lavender Days as you can see above. I think I got off easy with my foot scrubbing.




July 4, 5, 6: We had a fun 4th. Lilly loved the sparklers. Is it dangerous to give a 3 year old sparklers? I hope not. Oh well.

July 11 & 12: After a friday night boating trip with my work, we spent this weekend at the Canyons with Spencer's parents. Very fun. We went swimming, we went to Flipping Burgers (a very good burger joint in Park City) and just had a relaxing time.

Lastly, I am so sorry for my delay in posting. I guess I know that people are actually reading all my musings. In addition to all these goings on, I have been doing some freelance work for my cousin's photography business so I have been swamped.

Here is a preview of August:

Bear Lake, Snowbird, Lilly's 3rd birthday, and a possibly trip to the Hamptons! Stay tuned!
