Divergent- featuring commentary from Sammy

Sammy and I saw Divergent last night. I have had constant crazy happy butterflies all night and today. It was soooo good! I can't stop listening to the soundtrack on repeat right now. Or watching the videos and knowing exactly where all the little clips fit in with the movie. It was amazing. It was inspiring. It was, I'm so happy. Divergent is my favorite book of all time and it was amazing seeing it on the screen with such amazing (and pretty) actors. All of those Shailene Woodley haters, need to be quite now. She absolutely killed it.

**SPOILER ALERT**
I was a little miffed that they changed some things. As I'd watch something unfold differently than the book, I'd be like, hey! but then, not even two seconds later they would save the scene. Yeah, some things were different but they stuck with the plot and idea of the book and added things that Veronica elaborated on later, so it was perfection. I loved where Tris is running to catch the train after getting beaten, and where she throws the knife into Jeanines hand. That was SO AWESOME! Sammy screamed when that happened. Screamed probably isn't the right word, but he yelled like he does when people make goals in soccer, which is very loud. People started clapping in the theater after that happened which was funny.

All the scenes where Four was like, is that a problem? Or he'd hesitate and have that awkward silence were so funny. Theo James added a layer to the Four that was a bit hard to see in the book but felt so natural and just, Four like. 

Here are some things Sammy had to say during the movie. I may have had to shush him three or four times :) 
1. That's where I was born!
2. What happened to my city?
3. Where are the bears?!
3. That is so unsanitary 
4. Oh, he likes her!
5. Oh, he keeps staring at her!
6. She can't stop looking at his tattoos 
7. I really need to work out
8. They run a lot
9. He's really good at paintball
10. He's a jerk, can someone please shut him up
11. Seriously, why won't he shut up?
12. Ahh, he's afraid of heights like me!
13. Don't look down!
14. He's in charge and serious
15. Just tell him!
16. I really need to work out
17. He's very pretty
18. OH MY GOSH! HE'S MARCUS'S SON!
19. What's Divergent?
20. Is he a bad guy in the second book?
21. YEAH TRIS!
22. He wanted to die for them huh?
23. Four! No! 
24. SHE KNIFED HER!
25. He knows she can get on the train, but he helps her anyways. So cute.
26. We should get on the bus like that. Just run after and hold on to the door.
27. We could run to the bus everyday to get in shape
28. I can't wait for the next one
29. I know what's outside the fence, suburbs. (He then proceeded to name them, I can't remember them right now.)
30. My city!
31. We can go see this again next week.

We stayted through the credits and danced to all the songs. I'm so glad he'll do awkward dancing with me :) It was such a great night and a great movie with my best friend. I may or may not change our wedding song to one from the soundtrack because it was that good! And the songs are so sweet! 

Can't wait to go see it again ;)

    I can't WAIT to see the movie! I promised all of my friends I would wait until next week to see it with them when they get back from Spring Break... We're totally dressing up in our best Dauntless gear!

    I'm just gonna come comment on all your Divergent posts that I wasn't interested in before... haha.

    Saw the movie before I read the book. I loved it! So good. I bought the book that night, and finished the series less that two weeks later (it would have taken me less time, but you know... finals).

    Although I have some reservations about it, this book really changed my life. I love the storyline so much. I want to watch the next movie with you guys!

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
