happy hunger games

yes, we got caught up in the hunger games excitement, and we loved
every minute of it.  i read the books around the time that last of the trilogy
was released, and then richard borrowed the first book on cd from a
coworker and we listened to it on our drive to st. george over new years.

he loved it just as much as i did.  his whole family (almost) read the books
as well, so, thanks to dale, we made it a big to-do when the movie came out
a few weekends ago.  we all went to the movie together, and then dale treated
us to dinner at the olive garden where we discussed/compared the book and
movie.  the general consesus:  the movie was a hit, even though there were
parts of the book that were left out (which is usually the case).



i loved "reading" the book and watching the movie with richard!  i'm
usually doing the book-before-the-movie thing on my own, but it was fun
to have a partner in crime this time around!  we finished the second book
on our way home from this st. george trip, so that just means more of this
to look forward to.  may the odds be ever in our favor.
