Movie Night resurrection!

A few weeks back Kristo and I started a (belated) New Years resolution to have a movie and take-out night every Thursday. An idea inspired by Ace of Cakes.
We did a fantastic job keeping up with this new tradition for about three weeks and then it sort of fizzled out. We recently realized that movie night went kaput so we're starting it up again! Hooray!

In honor of our goal, I'm asking for some movie suggestions. I'm also including some of our all time favorite, must-see movies.

V for Vendetta (VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!)

Love Actually

Garden State (I could be biased on this one because Natalie Portman is my all-time favorite actress. Also, Zach Braff is in it and also directed the movie and I love him, ever seen Scrubs?)

The Producers

Sabrina (The classic with Audrey Hepburn is much better than the remake with Harrison Ford. Even Kristo liked this one :)

Stardust (I mercilessly mocked the previews, but the movie is hilarious)

Once (Great movie, beautiful soundtrack)

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

The Jerk

Saved! (Jena Malone plays a pregnant born again Christian, Mandy Moore plays the holier-than-thou villain)

3:10 to Yuma

Tombstone

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Mama on the brain...


I seem unable to think of anything but our growing baby in my belly...
Since we were so lucky to get such cute baby stuffs from the baby shower we decided to go ahead and start decorating Noah's room. We're sticking with the space theme which is a miracle because we've changed our minds a dozen times :)
It looks adorable! I can't believe we only have 6 1/2 weeks left until we have a baby boy. I can't help sitting in his room and imagining him playing in his crib, falling asleep on my chest, playing with Astro (his space themed stuffed puppy) and watching him grow up way too fast...
I'm so scared to go through labor and even more scared to be a mom, but my excitement outweighs my fear. I'm glad that Kristo is with me because I have no doubt he'll be a fantastic dad. I don't know how single parents do it because I would be lost without him. I think one of the happiest moments will be seeing Kristo hold Noah for the first time. I love them both so much.
And since I've now filled my sappy quota for a lifetime, I'll move on to less weepy subjects ;)

Rocket...I'm takin' a rocket...

Update on baby Noah's room:

We bought the cutest little rocket and flying saucer decals for the wall in Noah's room (courtesy of http://vinylwallart.com/). The colors we got are different than the picture.

We also bought these really cute star lights from Ikea to use as night lights.
Everything looks so cute! It's so fun to decorate a baby's room! I'll put a picture of the room on once we get everything decorated.
