julie & julia

what a delightful film, julie and julia turned out to be. 


john and i went to see it sunday after church. we were a little concerned at first to discover that the only showing of the film that we could go to was for the hearing impaired. but after the first few minutes of subtitles, the words at the bottom of the screen were easy to ignore especially as the delightful characters began to win our hearts. 

this movie left me hungry, not only for delicious french food which was shown in abundance, but for the loving and supportive marriages both of the main characters had. i found it quite encouraging that two imperfect, but successful marriages were portrayed in this film, where both couples started off happily married and ended happily married. no worries-i am quite content in the single state God has placed me in right now. however, i will have no complaints when God deems it time for me to enter into a new stage in life with a godly man, who loves & supports me. 

all this to say, this turned out to be a delightful and charming film. 
(with the best, supportive & loving use of an f-word in a film that i have ever seen!)
