"A Walk to Remember"

Have you seen this movie? This is one of those I watch every now and again when I am folding laundry.
I watched it the other night. They got married. Sorry if I just ruined it. :) Then she dies. Oh man! Sorry. It is still worth watching!
He says something like "we shared more love in that one summer than most people do in a lifetime."
This got me thinking. Why was it so wonderful? Well if you've seen the movie it is totally teenage love, but kind of mature in a teenage sort of way.
What I like about it is they are all about the other person. She has her list of dreams and he helps her fulfill them-even before he knows she has cancer.
She encourages him to think beyond the here and now and decide where he wants to be. She believes in him.
Yeah I know, it's a movie. But seriously, we can have an anxious concern for our spouse and believe in them and help them reach their goals. Because their success is totally ours too. We can work hard and celebrate right a long with them!

The apple: make a list of things you want to do with your life. encourage your spouse to write one too. read them to each other. then see what you can do to start checkin' em' off!

That is one of my favorite movies of all time! Love it. And what a good idea to make our own lists!
