Review ~ Fireproof

This movie was amazing! I recommend this movie to ANY married couple. I wanted to watch this with my hubby...and I was sure I was going to have to pull teeth to get him to watch it...no gunfights, no car chases...a movie about marriage??...I didn't think I had a chance! God was definitely on my side when I asked him to watch it. He agreed! and...he liked it!

Fireproof really struck home to us in a lot of ways. I could see us in the situations in the movie. I cried (and cried and cried!)...like 4 times!! I think it opened our eyes to a lot of things. Maybe we should watch it a few more times... :)

Synopsis:

Capt. Caleb Holt (played by Kirk Cameron), a dedicated firefighter whose marriage to his wife, Catherine, has taken a severe turn for the worse and is about to end in divorce. Just when hope seems to be running out, Holt's Christian father intervenes, challenging the couple to a 40-day experiment that he hopes will renew their love for each other -- and for God.

Daybook ~ September 24, 2009

Outside my Window ... It's starting to cloud up to what will probably turn into rain...but - it's kind of sunny now, and since it has rained every day for about 2 weeks - I've very excited about the sun.

I am thankful for ... my hubby, Terrance, who has agreed to take on some roles around the homestead so I can get a much-needed break...I need some sane days.

From the kitchen ... I think we are having Zaxby's tonight. Yum!

I am wearing ... a black skirt and a blue shirt...I look like a bruise. lol But, I love this shirt - it's a great blue color. It matches the blue streaks in my hair that I'm sporting today. :)

I am reading ... Finally finished the book that took me FOREVER to read...now I am on to Parenting Today's Adolescent...and Just Take My Heart. One for need...one for fun.

I am hoping ... To get my filthy house cleaned this weekend - but will all that's going on: 1)Jordan's acting class, 2) taking food to the Smith's, 3) missions conference at church...I'm not sure when I will get it done...the next few weeks don't look any better.

I am hearing ... not much...it's lunch time at the office and it's really quiet here.

Around the house ... not much happening other than the usual busy-ness. It doesn't seem like we are there much lately other than to sleep.

One of my favorite things ... Hulu...I am loving it! We all know that mom get's the last pick when it comes to tv watching - and now I don't have to miss anything. :)

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week ... Jordan has choir practice tonight that may or may not be interrupted by a trip to the orthodontist for a painful spring incident. Tomorrow, I have an appointment with the ENT to see what is going on with my ears. Hopefully, I will get some answers.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you ... A certain 4 year old is turning 5 in about a week and a half...and he is very specific on what kind of birthday party he wants:
