Valentines at the Drive In

Ah Valentines Day, the day that every girl in a relationship looks forward to and every single person dreads.

I am so thankful that I'm not alone anymore and I have my wonderful husband, although this Valentines day I did not look forward to as much, since our financial problems have not gotten better.

Finally things are starting to look up, but only recently did that happen.

Thankfully I had received a little money to help us be able to get out for V-day, in our current situation I know we shouldn't be spending money, but it really wasn't enough to help us out where we needed it, so after praying about it, we decided to go out for the evening.

We didn't do much, got ready, took some pictures, made a quick trip to the store to grab a couple snacks.

All of that was leading up to our big night at the drive in.

I couldn't believe to find out that just a few miles away was a drive in theater, 3 screens, that show 2 movies every night, only for $7 per person, so $14 bucks for the both of us to see 2 movies! and we had been wanting to go ever since we found out about the place, so we figured, what a great cheap way to spend Valentines day!

So thats what we did. We went and saw Beautiful Creatures and Warm Bodies, and I have to say, other then being in pain and not having Ibuprofen, it was a fabulous night!

Beautiful Creatures was way better then i thought it would be, kind of simple movie, but I felt by the end, looking back, the character development was good, the plot was good, and I was greatly impressed on the love story, it wasnt just another teenage love story that seemed immature, it was actually pretty deep. At first it did seem like it happened all too fast, but then later they did explain it happened over weeks/months and considering there back story it all fell nicely together.

oh, and I LOVED the ending, not a typical ending, but not a bad one either, I cant stand bad endings to love stories.

I don't want to give too much away, I would definitely like to go into more detail about certain aspects of the movie, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

One more thing I want to comment on is the religion subject. I was worried at first, I really hate when movies or shows showcase the irrational christians, the "crazy" religious people, but i think by the end it balanced itself out nicely.

I know there are those types of Christians out there, just like there are crazy people in every religion and belief, but I cant stand it when the media makes it out to be like, thats what were all like.

its like saying all atheists are angry, or all Muslims are killers... when its not true at all.

anyways thankfully it didn't cross too far over any boundaries, and balanced back out.

there were a couple flaws, but again I can't point them out without giving things away, so oh well.

I dont think the movie is for everyone of course, but me and my husband really liked it.

as of Warm bodies, that was a great movie as well, on the lighter side since it is more comedic, and I thought he did do way too much talking... I thought he should have made it look harder for him to talk, instead he made it look easy... which I thought was a flaw of sorts, but it was enjoyable and I liked the plot a lot.

All together it was a fantastic night, especially since it was Michael's first drive in and we spent less then $30 for our Valentines date out... I do admit, it was a bit hard seeing all my friends posting pics of the thoughtful gifts there loved ones had gotten them, but considering our situation, I understand.

BTW, the top photo is a design me and my husband did for valentines day a couple weeks ago :)
I think its the best we have ever done! oh and its a crappy photo because its an Instagram photo, taken from my phone :\ ill get a nicer one up later
