So after a long journey home I finally made it home safe. After being gone for two weeks I am so glad to be home. After taking a bit to adjust back and unpack, Jer and I sat back to relax and eat some dinner together. We flipped on the television and one of my favorite movies was on: A Cinderella Story. I remember all my friends and I getting together to watch this movie when it came out on video. If you are not familiar with this movie it is a different take on the Cinderella fairy-tale only in a modern-day setting with a young girl (played by Hillary Duff) named Sam who works at her father's diner that her stepmother has torn apart after her father died. She goes to high school and is basically her family's servant. The only thing that she has of her own is a cyber relationship with a boy who shares her dream of going to college at Princeton. Though they have no clue who each other are in real life, they do know they go to the same school. So they set up a plan to meet at the Halloween homecoming dance at 11:00 p.m. in the middle of the dance floor. She of course dressed as Cinderella and he was and is the prince, and when she leaves it is not a shoe she leaves behind but her phone. In the middle of all this she watched her stepsisters flip her life upside down and expose her to the prince. But of course, as it happens in every Cinderella movie, it all works out in the end in the best way.
I love movies, and my favorite are the ones with great happy endings! Plus it brings back good memories. I am so happy to be home with my love and to snuggle up and watch a movie with him; I am so blessed. I feel as if I have my own fairy tale. I hope everyone's week went well and that you have a great Easter weekend!
