Have you ever imagined that you were in a movie? =)

Mike took me and Owyn out for dinner tonight and as we were driving home a song came on the radio. I think it was the John Mayer song that says "Say What You Need To Say" over and over in the chorus. I like the song and I guess it just sounds to me like a song that should be the soundtrack of a movie. As I listened to the song, I gazed out the window int the darkness and had the thought pass through my mind that this one moment was kind of like something you would see in the opening of a movie: a couple driving through the darkness enjoying the quiet hum of the car. The husband reaches over and takes his wife's hand. She smiles as he gives it a soft squeeze and the camera pans back to show their sweet baby sleeping quietly in the back seat.

It was a nice little moment and I kind of made myself giggle. Then I wondered what would happen next in our movie. I don't think Hollywood would find or life that interesting; we live a very ordinary, simple life. But, to me, it is the best story I can tell. I love my life. I have a husband that loves me and he frequently holds my hand. I have a baby who is probably the happiest person I have ever known. I get to love and be loved by incredible people. I am happy. And so, I concluded as we pulled in to our driveway, Hollywood might not have much interest in my "movie," but tat doesn't matter to me because I get to live this beautiful life. And, also, maybe I watch too many sappy movies. =)
