1 thing I want to remember from the last week:
TJ and I went on a date to see The Fault in Our Stars (along with pretty much every person ever), and it was just so good. I thought it did the book justice, and it had me captivated from beginning to end, exactly like the book did. Bonus – TJ really liked it too, and I think it helped both of us to appreciate our time together a little more.
Have you seen The Fault in Our Stars? Have you ever tried boiled peanuts?

I loved The Fault in Our Stars! The movie definitely did the book justice.
I have never had boiled peanuts, but they sell them EVERYWHERE here (in SC).

I totally agree! Usually it’s hard for the movie to live up to the book, but in this case, I thought it was pretty great. You’ll have to give boiled peanuts a try some time – they’re weirdly delicious!

Seriously, I want to come live at your house just for the food! 🙂

Eeeeek so happy to hear TJ liked it! I’m nervous Colin will hate it haha

I hope Colin likes it!! It really didn’t have too much of a “girly movie” feel, so that helps. Hope you guys get to go see it soon – it’s SO good!
