I remember when I saw the previews for The Family last year and thinking this would make for a great rental. This past Sunday we got a buy one get one free at Redbox and jumped on it. Two movies for under two bucks is a pretty great deal. Our first pick was The Family starring Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer who play the parents of a mob family who snitched on the rest of the family and are now on the run.

I've been involved with Fantasy Sports since I can remember. I used to just watch my dad as a kid pick his football team every year and track the stats on TV and in the paper the next morning. Oh the days before the internet. As I got older I got my own fantasy football team and even joined him in a fantasy baseball league as well. I've never won either of them, and I'm not sure this year will be any different, but I'm pretty happy with how I drafted.

Jenn never ceases to amaze me. A month ago she looked like she had something on her mind and sure enough that night she told me she had applied to Taco Bell for a management position of their internal communications. I went online right after she told me and knew she had a great chance at the position and sure enough after two rounds of interviews she got the job. It's a big promotion for her and I couldn't be happier for her. She has really loved her job at PIMCO but I think this new position is an even better fit for her. I sit here and can't even begin to describe how proud I am of her. She is fearless, she knows what she wants and never lets anyone stop her. I'm so excited for her to start the new job and knock Taco Bell's burritos off (see what I did there). 

Three of my favorite TV series are returning to the airwaves in April. This comes on the heals of Jenn and I finishing the first season of the masterful House of Cards, so we are pumped and ready for some good TV. 

House of Cards is an incredible show. It's a political drama so you would think you've seen it all before, but in reality House of Cards just does it so much better then everyone else. We started watching House of Cards right after the recent Golden Globes when we knew that the hype must be real and we were ready to jump in. Plus its free on Netflix so thats a win win. 

Right before we started watching Thor: The Dark World on Friday night (March 7th) Jenn told me a few times how lame the movie looked. Granted not all super hero movies are Oscar contenders (well none of them are actually) they usually make for an entertaining couple of hours. The original Thor movie is right alongside the best of the individual Marvel super hero movies. The classic "I'll have another" line is still something I say all the time. Unfortunately Thor: The Dark World lived up to all the bombs Jenn was throwing at it.
