Happy 31st Birthday, Micah

Happy Birthday, Micah!

On Saturday, June 27, Micah turned the big 3-1; surviving his first year into his thirties!

We had a great day! We went to a psychic on Melrose in Hollywood where Micah got a Viking Runes, Tarot Cards, & a Crystal Ball psychic reading. Very interesting and a little creepy.

Then we met Lindsey, Matthew & Erin out at Vinoteca - a cute little wine bar in Los Feliz for some real good beers and awesome fancy appetizers.

To top the night off, we went to the Arclight (worlds greatest movie theater) to finally see Star Trek. (Check back for a review of it soon!)

His gift: New running shoes!

All in all - a great, relaxing birthday.

Away We Go

We thought our first post should aptly be a movie critique.
I thought I should be in charge since I am pretty against the male dominated world of movie critics. However; Micah felt that he should be in charge since he, of course, has a Masters degree in Film...So you get the best of both worlds: We're doing it together!

Today we saw: Away We Go
starring John Krasinski (from The Office) & Maya Rudolph (from Saturday Night Live)
Directed by Sam Mendes (Kate Winslet's Husband who also directed American Beauty, Revolutionary Road, & Road to Perdition)


What it's about: A mid-30's couple who is expecting their first child travel around the U.S. in order to find a perfect place to start their family. Along the way, they have misadventures and find fresh connections with an assortment of relatives and old friends who just might help them discover "home" on their own terms for the first time.

Micah's Take: A very sweet 30-somethings Coming of Age Story
Kim's Take: Hilarious and Severely Heart Warming!

Our Take
Laughed so hard we cried and nearly cried so hard we laughed! Redefines what a 'family' is and where 'home' is. More independent and less Hollywood - Very clear theme (that anyone can relate to) that was stated in the beginning and never drifted - Are we good enough, what's the best home, best job, best life for our growing family? In the end, we do what's best by our families with what we've got.

Better left on the cutting room floor (Cons)
Obnoxiously Cliche Title Cards

It's a Wrap
Run...Don't Walk to see this movie

Welcome to the Newest Blog on the Web!

We finally did it!

We started a blog to help document this wild and crazy roller coaster ride we're taking! We plan on posting anything and everything California (through the eyes of two midwesterners nonetheless!)

Be patient with us as we get up and running, but I assure you, it will be worth it!
