Okay, this post has the potential to be VERY cheesy...don't say that I didn't warn you ;)
Last week's Smell the Roses task was to watch your all time favorite movie. I'm not a a movie buff by any means, and I'm usually behind on times when it comes to keeping up with new releases. But there is a movie that has been very near and dear to my heart since I watched it for the first time.
Ready for this?
Yep, A Walk to Remember! This is the first movie that I remember watching that made me bawl my eyes out throughout the entire thing. I couldn't get over the immense amount of love that was shared between these two total opposite people and it really touched me to watch Landon learn & develop because of love. Talk about going through a few boxes of tissues...
I'm gonna let you guys in on a little secret. But you have to promise not to tell Adam, okay? ;) Before we were officially dating (way back in 2006) Adam wrote me a 3 page letter (front & back) about how he felt about me. One of the lines that stood out to me was, "I want to support you in your dreams of being a wedding planner...I want to be your Landon."
UM I DIE. How freaking sweet is that? He knew how much the movie meant to me. Well I can tell you one thing, he has surpassed my "Landon" expectations by far. Oh and by the way, I wanted to be a wedding planner when I was in high school. All it took to get that out of my system was working at a wedding venue on the weekends for a few years...NO THANKS. And yes, I still have the letter that he wrote me over 6 years ago :)
Ever since Adam wrote me that note, the movie has meant even more to me than it did before. I don't care how cheesy it is, it will always make me cry my eyes out. Just thinking about the movie brings memories flooding back from when Adam & I first started dating and I get all kinds of emotional. Adam is big on paying attention to little details and taking in everything that I say, which usually leads to pretty sweet/unexpected surprises. I love when Landon helps Jamie check off items from her bucket list, that part just makes my heart so full of joy and reminds me of Adam's little surprises :)
Confession: I have the entire soundtrack to the movie and just listening to it brings tears to my eyes. I guess you could say that I'm a cry baby! And another thing, Adam attempted to build me a telescope like the picture down below when we were in high school. Little did he know that it was going to cost him about $2,000...which is kind of out of the question when you're a senior in high school and mowing lawns to make your money. But hey, it's the thought that counted right?!
Did you watch your favorite movie last week? Leave a comment and let me know :) I'd love to go check out your Smell the Roses post if you did one!
This week's task:
Visit somewhere that you've never been before.
Whether it's a new restaurant, a new park, a new bookstore or even a new friend's house...go somewhere that you've never been before, shake it up a little bit :) To make it even more fun, visit somewhere that you've never been before with someone else who's never been there either! lovelylittlethingsblog.com
