Last week the Beehives had to plan the activity for the combined Young Women mutual night. We decided having a movie, popcorn, and pizza would be easiest. The movie we decided on was Bedtime Stories, with Adam Sandler. I am not a fan of Adam Sandler, but I did have to admit that from the trailers it looked like a very cute movie. A few days before the activity, we ended up watching it together as a family. I really liked it. The kids loved it. Plus, the best part is the Journey song it features--Don't Stop Believing.
Journey brings back so many memories of high school for me. I had their greatest hits on tape, and we would listen to that thing over and over in our little Ford Escort we drove up and down University Avenue in. A couple of years into high school I developed a love for Elvis Presley. One of my sisters had an Elvis Presley's greatest hits tape, and I swapped her: Journey for Elvis. She still claims she made out with the better end of the deal, but I still adore Elvis. I still love Journey, too, and Bedtime Stories reminded me how awesome they are. So this week I downloaded their greatest hits again onto my ipod. The trip down memory lane has been a good one. Journey rocks--Faithfully, Only the Young, Open Arms. If you haven't listened to them lately, you should.

I love journey too! And Alphaville and R.E.M
Journey was my FAV as well! I had their greatest hits too and listened to it all the time! Don't stop believing is making a comeback! And we as well loved that movie.
Ha ha! That song actually reminds me of the series finale of The Sopranos! Every single times I hear it, I think of Tony and then the screen just going blank.
Your showing your age!!! ;> I love them too. Alphaville as well. I laugh when my kids are really into queen, depeche mode, abba, Erasure and some of the others that have been around for ever, even when I was little. Erasure and depeche mode was high school and I still love them.
As for Adam Sandler we saw the movie in the theatre after much cajoling. He is usually so vulgar I refuse to watch him, but it was really clean-- I was amazed.
Makae loves the Pj's, by the way. And she has redecorated her room around the pillow case. Thanks for the time you spend with her. She really enjoys sewing. If she gets to be a problem don't hesitate to tell her no. If she gets really good maybe I will let her sew curtains for my house - I never have gotten them!
Mac's sister, Beth, used to sing "Open Arms" only she thought they were saying and so would sing: " . . and now I come to you with broken arms." We still laugh about that.
