Robin

[neonglow]

Went to Robin's to watch movies today (Mr. Brooks, 3:10 to Yuma, Transformers, and Pirates 3). Here's what I love most about her (aside from the fact that she gave me an awesome "I Heart Jareth" keychain for my birthday!)--she has such childlike joy (though she tries to hide the fact that she can have feelings like that) over the smallest things. She was talking today about old movies, and how she got a crush on Charles Boyer after watching All This and Heaven Too, and her eyes just lit up and her voice lifted...it was so cute. And I realized something else today: she's happy. It's not just her unabashed cutie nerdiness, but she's at a place where she can finally be really happy. And I guess Chad has a lot to do with that, even though I was dead set against her marrying him. In the end, it wasn't my choice to make, and she was the one who had to make peace with how things had played out between them in the beginning, and had to decide to trust him even though he had wronged her. As a way of getting her...I'm not really sure what that was all about, or what all went down. Anyway, all that aside, what I am trying to say is that she seems to be in a good place, and if he has made her that way, then I can overlook his dorkiness, his boastful pride, his father-like overbearingness, and be glad of it. Because she is the one that really matters.

Two weeks till the big day. :D
