Home Alone & Home Alone 2 are my FAVORITE Christmas movies of all time. Seriously, I had the biggest crush on Kevin McAllistar when I was little. I would watch this movie, rewind it and watch it again from when I woke up until I went to sleep.
Can’t wait to watch these movies during the holidays.
omg. mary. it must be fate.
EVERY christmas my family sits down to watch these movies. its a tradition of ours, because you’re right. this movie makes me feel like the holidays are really here. sigh…i love the holidays :)
These questions came from Glamour magazine and I think they are really on point:
1. What did you really think when you first met?
2. Do you believe in God?
3. What little things do you love about each other?
4. What was missing growing up?
5. What would you change about each other?
6. What are your greatest fears?
Very often with questions like these it’s not so much the question but the reaction and the feelings that come to the surface that are more important. They will expose where each of you stand in order to make it clearer whether or not you will work in the long term. If you are heading in the right direction with someone you should feel comfortable asking these kinds of questions about 6 months into the relationship.
I would also add the following questions:
7. What are your biggest dreams?
8. What are your priorities?
9. What is your work ethic?
And it’s not so much that you have to have the same answers as your partner it’s that you need to see if you can work with each other. For example, I know some couple’s where their partners opposite work ethic really bothers them and results in a lot of fights. On the other hand there are others that respect that difference and do not see it as something that needs to be corrected.
Basically these answers give you the ability to each say to each other “This is where I stand on the big issues. How about you? Can we make it work?”
Like my dad said this weekend “Marriage isn’t just about love it takes a lot of work, sacrifice, and selflessness.” It takes accepting each other’s differences and working with them in harmony. Give and take, forgive and forget, and always say sorry.
i definitely agree with this post. and i would add:
10. How to you manage your finances/react to financial stress?
I’m going to be home in 23 days and since I’m deprived of food here, this is around the time when the semester winds down that I start looking at menus. Today, I was totally salivating over the menu of my FAVORITE hole in the wall pizza place in my town. The funny thing is I rarely ever eat the pizza there (even though it’s delicious) just like I never eat pancakes when I go to IHOP. Anyway, I am SO excited to order myself some cheese fries (as they DO have the BEST) and a shish tawook.
My inner fat kid is so ready to be unleashed.
mary, i would just like to let you know i have stolen you phrase of “inner fat kid”. every time im out to eat with the bf and i see that he’s getting full i tell him: “find your inner fat kid!” its officially become a running joke between us.
i need this.
christmas present for my parents.
i’m one of those people who were perpetually late as a child, so as an adult i strive to always be 10 minutes early.
oooo i love it. i try so hard to be on time…but alas i’m always 10 mins late.
i love TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress, and i thought i’d seen every episode this season, until i was on their website today and saw that Michelle Duggar from TLC’s other show 18 Kids and Counting was on their show. I wish i could say i love her dress, but sadly, it is WAY too conservative for my taste. I know the price says $1,200 but do you really think she paid for that dress? And if she did…i doubt that was the final sticker price.
really loving this dress taylor swift wore last night at the CMA’s. i would KILL for hair like hers!
surfing on fb last night while waiting to go home from work and i stumbled upon an old high school friends wedding photos. She and her bridesmaids look stunning. I hope I can look half as gorgeous on my special day too. the dress make up and hair all suite her perfectly!
OMG… Meghan… is this who I think it is? I have a hazy memory of people in HS because I haven’t seen them in awhile but is this RM? Send me an e-mail.
PS: I want to see these pics with you when I’m home
PPS: You’re totally right. She looks phenomenal and her bridesmaids look great too. Beautiful.
you are correct! I will be sure to let you see the photos when you’re back.
ps she went to spain (near granada where i traveled abroad) for her honeymoon with her gorgeous man of a husband. RM did good.
thank you mary. thank you for bringing this site into my life. whenever i need a good laugh peopleofwalmart.com comes to the rescue.
