Mick and I went to see a movie last night. It was the new Matt Damon movie "Adjustment Bureau". We compromised on this movie because it has a love story and some suspense/sci-fi/have to figure things out kind of movie. (I would prefer just the love story, but marriage is about compromise.)
We got to the show about a half hour early. That is just like us. We are usually early. We had to wait until just before the movie started to get our popcorn (minus the butter/oil) or else it would have been gone before the movie started.
As I was sitting there I was thinking about some of the first movies we had seen in our early years of dating/marriage. The first one we saw, Mick picked out and I can not even remember the name. (I think it was a war movie. I do not think he scored any points on that date, but I was already smitten so the movie was not important.) We saw it at a theatre in Palatine that is closed now.
The movie I remember the most after we first were married was the original Halloween with Jamie Lee Curtis. I was scared to death. Mick used to make fun of me because I would keep my eyes covered through all of the scary parts. Needless to say I did not see much of that movie. We saw that movie at the theatre in downtown Libertyville. I think it cost $1. We went with our close friends Jeff and Dawn Schad. We went to Baker's Square afterwards for pie. Oh those were the days when you could eat a bucket of popcorn and have pie in one night!
We do not go to many movies, but it is fun to have a "date night" with my husband. It's fun to stroll down memory lane and realize I am so blessed to still be madly in love with Mick after so many years.
