Robbie and I saw the movie "African Cats" last weekend!

And okay, it was incredible. I don't know how many times during the movie I said "Oh my gosh I can't handle this!" ....i don't really know why i said that though.

I'm not so good of a movie critic, so I will say that EVERYONE in the universe should go see it.

Yes, the adorable little lion cubs and baby cheetahs stole my heart but aside from that I learned and was reminded of a few things by watching it:

One, our earth is stunning and entirely beautiful. Duh, I already knew that, but some of the shots were just ABSURD.

Two, females will always have to live with a double standard of some sort. I blame Eve.

Three, I still can't figure out why cheetahs don't live in groups. Maybe they are just capable of doing life alone, even though it comes with many weaknesses. I hate that I can relate?

Four, wildlife is straightforward and sincere. There is no pretending to be something you're not, no confusion of what what role you play.

Five, relationships.

Since the relationships between the animals were so straightforward, it was easy to see their intentions. Their actions were propelled by allegiance alone. I found myself respecting them for their selflessness too, a trait I envied because of how natural it came to them. I also got a glimpse of how all relationships were meant to push for the greater good, for a bigger picture than just the individual. Wether to expand, protect, feed, love, sacrifice, or surrender, relationships are meant to preserve and strengthen life.

Okay so obviously I liked it. I'm over-complicating it. Watch it and don't think about anything I said. Male lions are badass.

family 5:43 PM

My family from Colorado visited last week. We did a bunch of random things: ate, napped, beached, churched, ate seafood, learned how to use a telescope, walked Lake Hodges, completed three 500-piece jigsaw puzzles in three days, and somehow made a complete meal from the scrounged remnants found in my barren fridge.

i only got pictures of a few, obviously.
