We just watched a GREAT and WONDERFUL movie!!! My sister's friend suggested this movie and, well, we had just watched some very disappointing films so this was a "breathe of fresh air". It really made me look at my life and see if I am excited and willing to do all my religion asks, even though I'm not asked to do arranged marriages. So anyway, the movie is...

ARRANGED
Friendship Has No Religion




ARRANGED centers on the friendship between an Orthodox Jewish woman and a Muslim woman who meet as first-year teachers at a public school in Brooklyn. Over the course of the year they learn they share much in common - not least of which is that they are both going through the process of arranged marriages.

If you watch this movie, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!!

"I've never seen an egg that color before."
"I wonder what kind of chicken laid it!!"

I think that's a yoga pose. Or meditation, maybe...And I think this one is "salutation to the sun". :D
Most of the kids went riding. Mindy just had to share in the fun!! Oh, doesn't that just look GREAT or what!?!
I think it's the "what"! (just kidding)Stick 'em up. It's SPRING!!!! YEAH!!!

It is always so fun to be with the Bergesons. They are more like family than anyone else!!! You can just be your goofy self around them and no one cares or thinks any less of you!!! I just love that family so very much!!! They are such wonderful people and I love to be around them!!! We have such great memories and hope to make a lot more!!!
