4. Go on a double date with David, Erin & Smelly

Although we hang out on a pretty regular basis, Erin and I rarely get a double date with our boys.  One night we were sitting around and mentioned wanting to go see a movie and I screamed out "DZP Double Date!!!" and Erin was SOLD! We convinced the boys and off we went!

We ate at Alcapulo Restaurant, where they didn't have rice for some insane reason! This was a major topic of conversation during dinner...

And then saw The Hunger Games at Century Theater.

We had a blast and the movie was fabulous! (It was my second time seeing it :))

Here are some pictures..

I went all out and bought a ton of munchies for us to enjoy during the movie (after dinner, contradictory - I know:))

Erin and I, SUPER excited that we're actually completing a goal, unexpectedly!

The four of us.. as you can tell the boys cannot take a real picture.  I think this was our third try at a group shot and.. well.. yaaaaaaa

Something Borrowed :)

Oh man, beyond excited for this movie to come out! I need to start freshening up with the story... I'll be buried in the book until it's finished!

8. Watch 26 movies I've never seen starting with each letter of the Alphabet

In one of my firsts posts I mentioned that this goal was in progress - but I just wanted to do a little update as to where I'm at with my alphabet movie watching.

This weekend I added a new movie to the list and a week ago or so I have a bonus for another letter I've completed already.

B - Brothers

(Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman, & Tobey Maguire)

This is my new addition! I watched it this weekend with David and I don't want to be a spoiler and give away anything for anyone who hasn't seen it (I know how much that sucks) but I will say that it wasn't too impressive for what I expected.  Erin disagrees and liked the movie overall, but for me it was a little slow at the beginning and the ending didn't solve anything for me. But Jake Gyllenhaal made it worth my time!!

G - (The) Goods

(Jeremy Piven)

David ordered this from Netflix and we took two nights to watch it, I think.. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep round 1 and finished it the following evening.  I personally liked it as a rental movie.  If I would have seen it in theaters I wouldn't have been so jazzed but it was good laughs.  I fell in love Jeremy Piven in Entourage and he kind of keeps that same a-hole persona here and I thought it was pretty great.  It doesn't take much to make me laugh when I like the actors, so you may not agree with me on this one, but it's worth a try..

I - Inception

(SO many great actors to name so I'll keep it short!

Leo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, & Ellen Page)

I definitely don't want to give ANYTHING away in this movie because it is still in theaters and a must see for sure! All I'm going to say is..

1. I loved it!

2. If you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for?!!

O - (The) Other Guys

(Will Ferrell & Mark Wahlberg)

This also is still in theaters so I won't say too much.

Pretty funny from what I saw.. I saw this with David and Kyle and they came out saying it was O.K.  They're huge Will Ferrell fans and thought there were good liners and the overall movie was good, but not great. We probably need to watch it again to fall in love with it.

S - Shutter Island

(Leo DiCaprio)

I really really REALLY enjoyed this movie.  It definitely took me a long time to convince myself to sit through it, but in the end I really enjoyed it.  My best friend Lauren told me she and her boyfriend saw it together and talked about the twisted plot and ending for about 30 minutes straight - just going back and forth with support for their interpretations of what happened... Therefore, I knew I should definitely see it so that I could see what the hype was about.. and what do you know! - I LOVED IT! If you're due for a great mysterious kind of film and haven't seen this I would recommend it!

*S - Step Up 3

(Rick Malambri, Sharni Vinson, & my favorite Adam G. Sevani)

Call me a dork but I love all the Step Up movies and this was no exception.  The dancing was so amazing and this girl, Sharni Vinson, is hot! I know David wasn't upset to sit through this one.  These movies get better and better, I'm a little bias towards the first one because I love Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan but this one didn't disappoint.  If you're interested in a good dance film, this one is one of my favorites.

AND Adam G. Sevani is better in this one than Step Up 2! If you can even fathom that, I fell in like with him in the second movie and this one I definitely fell in love. I mean whats not to like.. Really!?

Well.. thats my movie round up! WHEW! There was alot to catch up on.. but I'll continue my goal to see all 26 movies and keep posting!

Catching up..

So I've completed a few of my goals already and thought I'd share what I've finished so far..

1. Track down a Moleskin and actually start using it.

I have been looking for a Moleskin from Borders for the longest time and I made a point to put it on my list so that I wouldn't give up on finding one.. and I DID! So excited! It has organized me so much since I've gotten it and I take it with me everywhere. It's perfect!

19. Take hot yoga.

I've taken yoga with my best friend Lauren at the gym for some time but once I heard about hot yoga I had to give it a try. It's the best 80 mintues I could ever spend in 103 degree room. Hot yoga gives my body an amazing stretch while also making me sweat like crazy - and surprisingly I love it!

36. Buy a pair of TOMs shoes.

TOMs are such comfortable shoes and have such a good cause behind them. My first pair is a bright metallic silver pair my mom bought me for my 22nd birthday. I fell in love with them right away because they're extremely comfortable so I had to get a seocnd pair in a more neutral color for everyday wear. This gray pair is exactly what I was looking for!

45. Take Pictures in a photo booth.

While Erin and I were at the fair not too long ago we had to hit the photo booths to mark a goal off of both of our lists. These are sooo much fun and make me laugh every time I see them! I love my sister soo much and we had a blast this day at the fair!

Sister time is my favorite :)

50. Give tomatoes another try.

I have never liked tomatoes since I was a young girl. Let me make something clear - I can eat tomato sauce and I like salsa and that kind of mix but it is tomatoes raw that I cannot stand. It's been some time since the last time I tried them and so I figured I'd give them another try andddd SURE ENOUGH they are disgusting! .. At least I tried.

64. Run a mile straight without stopping.

David and I have been running for a few months now and I must admit I'm the slowest runner on earth BUT at least I'm trying! Welllll I have such a hard time getting through one run without stopping so I knew I'd have to make it a goal to get through one mile without stopping and I finally did it! With the help of my love behind me, I got through a little over a mile in one smooth run and it felt amazing!

There are many more goals that are in progress...

5. Read 10 "Motion Picture" Novels

1. The Death and Birth of Charlie St. Cloud

2. A Walk to Remember

8. Watch 26 movies I've never seen all starting with each letter of the alphabet.

G - (The) Goods

I - Inception

O - (The) Other Guys

S - Shutter Island

66. Attend 10 Yoga classes - I've completed 5

70. Do not purchase anything from Forever21 for a month - about half way through this one!! I think I can make it!

I'm really excited to share these goals and post my success!! This is just the start!
