Bryan & Brittney Austin

That's about all we have to report.

Well, Bryan has finally found a part time job with the Census bureau and starts the beginning of next week. Just in time actually because he was going to run out on his unemployment the week after so saved just in time.
We continue to be movie fans as always and have seen quite a few since our last post. We have seen Alice in Wonderland, Shutter Island, Death Proof, Closure, Sweet November, Day of the Dead, Midnight Movie, and more of course but I really can't remember them all. Some were in the theatres and some were on the television.
Alice in Wonderland was pretty good we thought and it was really closer to the book which was nice. It is always good to see Johnny Depp doing his usual strange character that he does. All in all a good one for sure. Shutter Island was awesome and most definitely did not see that one coming at all. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good mystery/suspense movie. The rest of the movies were on tv and of course not the best but some were pretty good. We actually got to watch death proof with friends of our and quite enjoyed it. It is always nice to see the victims start to fight back and win. Closure was interesting. I guess if you have never seen a guy butt raped by a rifle before that would be a new sight for you. It is about this couple that gets beaten and raped in the woods and they go after the individuals that did it to them to get revenge. Sweet November is an older one but I got told that it was a great movie that I had to watch. I personally was not a fan of the ending. I really don't like the kind of sad endings and it really did ruin the movie for me. Day of the Dead was of course the same rating as most zombie movies, a B movie. There were some awesome effects though and it was good to watch. Midnight Movie was definately a slasher film and is good for those nights you want to be grossed out horror type of movies. Again there is more that we watched recently, or moreover I watched while Bryan fell asleep on the couch.

MEET MASON!!! The cutest little addition to the family clan of dogs that are out numbering us now. He is a yorkie pomeranian mix and my sister and her husband got him about three to four weeks ago. He is spunky as all can be so cute! He weighs about a pound and he fits in perfectly with all other 7 dogs.

Wow it has been a little bit since I did an update on this. Shame on me. Well Bryan is still unemployed and not doing to good. He is trying so hard to find another job. He did make it onto the union list of employment but he is 8th in line and work has to pick up before he will get called. So we continue to scrap by with what we have right now. We have watched quite a few movies lately. Some redbox, some on the boob tube, and we saw one recently at the theater which really was not that good. We went and saw Valentines Day on Valentines and it was not that great. There were just too many story lines to really enjoy the movie. Too much jumping around with the stories too. Great cast though, just not one we really wanted to spend $8 a piece one. We watched a few on redbox last weekend which were good. Well we are (I know, I know) small fans of all the Saw movies. Well we are really fans of the first few but the rest have started to run together. It is kind of interesting to see the new ways that they tie the last movie into and all and the new ways that they find to torture, test, and kill people. We saw the latest one and found it gorey as always and had the usual ending that you don't want to happen. We also found alot of it really far fetched. Like why would police/detectives knowing who the killer is, just walking around with the killer and not trying to arrest him. Crazyness. We also finally watched paranormal activity. Mmmmm. Interesting movie. Made you jump definately and think what it would be like to be in the place of the characters but a little predictable in some aspects. I must admit I did not expect the girl to get dragged down the hall like she did but a logically person would have handled it a little differently I think. Bryan had to stop from watching the night we started because he did not feel good about the movie. But we finished it the next morning. We also watched Gamer. That was a cool story line that was ruined by a so-so script. That could have been a good movie. There is alot presented in this and gives you a whole new prospective on things. There are even some moral implications that make it a little more interesting.

Well Valentines Day was a good one for us. We ended up going out to dinner the Friday before at Spaghetti Mamas and enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Then on Valentines Day, Bryan made me lunch and dinner with my favorite for dinner, crab legs! Yummy! Bryan had a steak and we had dinner together. Then enjoyed my favorite treat of ice cream, girl scout cookie style. Bryan bought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers that still look great. I bought him his favorite candies and a card for him. We had a good day, all in all.

Other than that we are not doing too much these days with me working two jobs and taking three classes. That occupied most of my time.

Well, unfortunately Bryan has been laid off, AGAIN!! This is really starting to get old. But he is now on the union apprentice list meaning as soon as they get to him on the list with a job he will be employed and have benefits and be able to do schooling to get further. So a little bittersweet news there. Not much more to update on though. We are just working when we can, eating when we can, and living life to the fullest that we can.
