Movie Friday!!

Jose and I have a weekly ritual on Fridays which started when we decided we needed to try to save money and stop going out to eat as often: Movie Friday. We are huge nerds and totally look forward to this blissful night spent lounging around in our jammies. When Jose picks me up from work with the weekend about to begin the first thing out of his mouth is, "Movie Friday!" It is a mantra that gets us through the week. 4 days to Movie Friday, 3 days, 2 days...

Movie Friday consists of crashing on our couch, cooking a pizza in our oven, popping popcorn, having a cocktail and watching a movie we have downloaded. It is a simple tradition but we love it. Sometimes we throw in a Wii game or two. Sometimes we don't even make it through an entire movie without falling asleep. What I love about this evening is that there are no expectations, just relaxation. It is a great way to unwind.


As you can see, Movie Friday is sort of like a grown-up sleepover. We eat junk food but have our adult drinks. And we don't stay up that late. Cooper is always the first to fall asleep. He claims he is just, "resting his eyes."


During the next few weeks our goal is to watch a bunch of Oscar nominated films before the award ceremony. This may mean some Movie Fridays taking place on other days of the week. Bummer. We already watched Lincoln and I really enjoyed it. We can't wait to take this tradition with us to our new place. Which we have a quick update for: our kitchen is going to be installed on the 12th. Yay!!
