So today is the one year anniversary of our blog! It has been a great year to have a blog because we've been able to make a lot of announcements, talk about some things that are important to us, and also share some things that are just for fun!:)

We went skiing today for the first time this season. Skiing is always a good time but it was super cold out today and then it started snowing which is just adding insult to injury:/ The snow on the mountain was nice; it was icy in some spots but I don't really mind ice as long as there is not too much of it. One year we got our passes in January but didn't get to use them until March and it was really warm that year so we were skiing in like 60° weather, the snow was pretty crappy but I will take that over 15° any day haha!

We saw Selma the other day. I was a little skeptical about seeing it because I never know if those kinds of movies are going to be good or if they are going to have some kind of underlying hidden agenda that is going to be irritating me the whole time. But Selma was actually really good! The man that was cast as Martin Luther King Jr was incredible; there was even this one part toward the end where they played a recording of part of an actual MLK speech and then at some point switched to the actor speaking and I totally missed when the switch happened. He was so believable. 
There was one thing that I thought they missed the mark on though. There was some real footage in the movie of the march from Selma and the biggest difference between the real people and the movie was the overall showing of happiness. There was barely a smile in the movie whereas the people of the time we're just so happy about what they were doing and why and they believed in themselves and they knew that God was with them which helped lighten the load a bit. I think also because they had come so far already and so they had alot of hope in what was to come. Now I'm not saying that the movie lacked hope, just that there was a difference in the way it was portrayed.
 Overall it was really well done and I thoroughly enjoyed it but it really made me think of the times now and what is going on in the world today. We've come a loooong way since then but we still have a ways to go before people honestly and truly don't see color. 

I hope you all had a great day... Until next time, bye:)
