A Family Movie Afternoon In

We've been loving our time in San Diego with Family and Friends!
We've enjoyed plenty of time talking and playing games, but this afternoon we decided to spend our afternoon snuggled up on the couches watching a great family movie with a wonderful message.
We watched the new release movie at WalMart, War Room, and enjoyed the family time spent together. 
We also very much enjoyed the simple and yummy treats that only took about 5 minutes to prepare!


Hunter has a very close knit family. 
We have a group text constantly going to tell each other everything new that is happening in our lives so we all are up to date.
We enjoy sharing pictures and stories but we also understand that the power of prayer is real and ask each other to pray when we need it.
I love that we are always there for each other in those moments and I also love that we all celebrate with one another when our prayers have been answered.



War Room is all about the power of prayer and how it can change our lives if we let it.
It had such a wonderful message and has really helped me understand that I need to be more prayerful in my everyday life.
The hustle and bustle of life can easily get hectic and doesn't leave much room for alone time.
I loved that this movie showed that if we make time, there will be time to spend communicating and pleading with our Father in Heaven.
We need to have a personal relationship with Him.
One thing that I have decided on after watching this movie is that I need to spend more time alone to have personal scripture study and to talk to my Heavenly Father.
As a young wife and mother that also does all the cooking, cleaning, shopping, and works from home... this can sound like just another task to add to my to-do list.
That is where I want to change. 
My New Year's Resolution for the year of 2016 is to strengthen my relationship with Heavenly Father through daily prayer and scripture study.
I'm so happy that we watched this movie, it really did remind me how important and empowering prayer is.



While watching the movie we enjoyed a super yummy and simple treat.
A salty and sweet combo made with Orville Redenbacher popcorn, Peanut M&M’S® chocolate candies, pretzels, and a chocolate drizzle.
We also enjoyed sipping on Coca-Cola's Sprite throughout the movie.
All of these products were easily found at my local Wal-Mart.

When I see your face, but it was only just a dream.

Have you seen Pitch Perfect?
I did last night with my dear friend Audrey. 
We were both definitely fans.
It was a bit vulgar I must admit, but in all honesty I haven't laughed that hard in a movie in quite a while.
The music was seriously amazing.
I can't believe the arrangements they did with such updated songs.
The acting was, well, a bit mediocre but still entertaining.
Fat Amy said it best with "You all have skinny bodies, but I believe you all have fat hearts and that's what really matters"

This was my favorite song:

Both of those songs completely remind me of homecoming my junior year.
Josh and Anthony were Hunter and I's little chauffeurs for the night.
We weren't aloud to touch the doors because they had to open them for us.
Josh made a little mix CD and both these songs were on it.
Josh and Anthony choreographed a little number to Just a Dream that kept Hunter and I laughing each time the song came on. 
Then Hunter sang Just the Way You Are to me, which melted my heart.
Crazy how music can flood your mind with crystal clear memories.
Such fun times :)

Hunter and his little wingmen :)
Well, Vaeao is not so "little"

I sure do love that vest :)


Have a happy conference weekend!

All my love,
Aleigh Joy
