We've lived in Orange County now for five years and as hard as we try to break out of routines we tend to stick to our favorite areas. However this weekend we finally branched out a little. This weekend being a three day weekend (thank you Presidents day) we took full advantage of the great weather and time to enjoy our beautiful home.

Its been a couple of years since Jenn and I actually went out to eat on Valentines day. We love to go out to eat but getting a reservation to somewhere decent is almost impossible so we have stayed in the last couple of years. This year Valentines day fell on a Friday which meant we both had to work. My original plan was to get home by 4:30 and cook a surprise dinner, but that didn't happen. Instead I got home at 5:30 due to horrific traffic and had to make a change on the fly.

I remember when Dexter was released in 2006 and thinking that's a show I'll never watch. The premise is downright revolting, a TV show about a serial killer. Not necessarily Jenn or my cup of tea. I even watched the first episode when Dexter was first on Netflix and remember thinking wow this show really isn't for me. 

I've been wanting to see The Kings of Summer since I first saw the trailer almost a year ago. Finally now that its out for rental, we picked it up at Redbox and got to watch it. The basic movie premise has three high school age teenagers who are fed up with life at home embark on an adventure into the woods to start lives on their own.

The last couple of weekends have been amazing. We spent a lot of time together, taking long walks, playing board games, going to church, and watching a ton of TV and Movies. I knew one of these weekends we were going to have to shift the trend, and it just so happened to be this most recent one. On Saturday morning I went to get my hair cut at 18|8 in Costa Mesa, and got home a little after ten to a bright eyed Jenn who I knew instantly was up to something.

I urge you to try and watch In a World and not try and replicate the amazing voice actors who narrate movie trailers. In a World for those who haven't heard of it is a movie about voice actors and the very exclusive club of them who narrate movie trailers. I don't know about you but I absolutely love movie trailers. When Jenn and I go see a movie at the theaters we give an obligatory thumbs up or down depending on our thoughts on the trailer. So needless to say this movie was right up our alley.
