I Am Legend!

So I took my hubby out yesterday for a day all about him, we went and got two new xbox games and a new controller, ate his favorite lunch and went to go see I am Legend. Okay the movie was okay, but let me go off for a minute about movie ettiquette . . .

1. You are watching a movie in public not your bedroom, so don't fall asleep. If you do fall asleep try your hardest not to snore so loud that you have the entire theatre laughing at you.

2. If a movie is rated PG-13 for sci-fi action and intense violence, you probably should not take your 5 year old to go see it.

a. and when she starts bawling, don't cuddle her while you continue to watch the movie and everyone is watching in horror as a 5 years old is screaming at the zoombie like creatures.

3. In a military town, don't go running into a theatre with a friend, then stop and look at everyone while your friend runs up to the emergency exit door with his hand on it like he is going to make a run for it becuase now you have everyone looking at you, ready to take you down

4. If you are 13, you may find movie stairs a great way to exercise, but it definitely isn't a good idea to do it with a few of your friends and during a movie!

5. Answering a phone and saying "I can't talk right now I am in a movie" is not the same thing as not answering the phone completely during a movie. If it is an emergency, just step out for a moment, we all don't want to hear what your plans for the evening are and that doesn't count as an emergency!

So like I said I am Legend is an okay movie once we were able to watch it, its a triple remake but its got Will Smith who was pretty good! But are we the only ones that find movie etiquette to no longer exist?

Welcome Asher Ethan Joyce

So Shaina was scheduled to be induced on the morning of the 11th. I checked on her that morning and that afternoon and she was progressing really well. When I arrived after work, that girl was in some pain!!!!! I stopped by just to say hi and I was designated the job of paparazzi as soon as Asher came into this world. Let me tell you a few things....

1. Shaina is absolutely the toughest most dedicated girl I know, she did a great job especially since her epideral didn't work

2. Kevin was a trooper, he never left her side, encouraged her the whole time, letting her know it would all be okay!

3. I will be adopting :)

Just kidding, it was an amazing experience and Asher came flying out after only 30 minutes of pushing (only.... yeah right!) Watching the bond that Shaina, Kevin and Asher immediately had was nothing short of incredible! He was 7lbs, 15 oz and 21 inches long! Shaina did a great job and I am sure he is well worth everything they have gone through. There were a few problems with her blood pressure for 2 days but she is now back at home, trying to find a sleep pattern with Asher.

Earlier she was holding him and I looked over and she had her face smooshed to his head. I asked her what she was doing.... she looked all guilty and said "smelling him", Kevin made a joke and then came over and smelled him too :) I'm telling you that this is one lucky kid to have such loving parents. Way to go Joyces!

Annapolis Wedding

So we had our first vacation/out of town trip as a married couple this past weekend. We flew up in to Baltimore, MD and stayed in Annapolis. One of Mia's classmates from the Academy was getting married and Mia was to be a member of her sword arch. We were greeted in Baltimore by nasty, cold rain. Let me make a side note here and say that if you ever travel to a city where they have roundabouts(or whatever the heck they call em) it is well worth spending the extra money to get a rent car with a GPS unit in it. We never would have made it through the weekend without that thing. Anyways, we went through a quick rehearsal and then had dinner at a cozy place called the Federal Tavern. Saturday found us sleeping in and enjoying a little well deserved R&R. We roused ourselves and went into Annapolis for a quick trip to the Naval Academy for a few gifts for some friends. We grabbed lunch with our friends Brad and Christina at a crabhouse called Bubba's. The conversation and company were great and the food was good I guess, my knowledge of seafood stops where the Gulf Coast ends...let me just say that my wife looks striking in her uniform and Annapolis just happens to be crawling with Naval Academy spawn who repeatedly ducked, hid, ran from her in an effort to not have to salute her. I just want to say at this point that those poor little fools don't know how close to death they came that day in trying to weasel out of saluting my wife. I coulda killed the whole lot of em. But I digress. After lunch I dropped Mia off at the church and hurried back to the hotel to throw my suit on and return only to be made late to the wedding by Yankee traffic. Whoever invented the roundabout should be beat with a stick! I finally make it back to the church and only end up being about five minutes late. The wedding was beautiful, the bride looked amazing as did the groom. It was a short and sweet ceremony. We then proceeded down the street to the Fleet Reserve Club for the reception. The wedding was small and very intimate as far as number of people so they had reserved a private room at the fleet club. The room was deck out to the 9's complete with an incredible Christmas tree in the back corner. They had a live jazz band and a great buffet. We relaxed and danced the night away and then sent the happy couple off in a hail of bubbles. We closed the night out with a long chilly walk back to our cars and then off to our prospective hotels. Mia and I flew back the next morning and spent the rest of our Sunday relaxing and soaking up time with each other catching up on TIVO'd shows. We had a really good time in Annapolis and were fortunate enough to catch up with some old friends along the way and even made a few new ones too. Maryland is nice but we sure where happy to be back in warm and sunny Texas...
