The Last 24 Hours

So I had a completely different topic that I wanted to post about, but it will have to wait because two amazing things have happened over the last 24 hours.
1) Last night I went to see "We Are Marshall" at the new City Lights Theatre in Georgetown. First of all, it is so exciting to have a movie theatre in Georgetown, although I still think the drive down to the Round Rock 8 is worth saving $3 on a ticket. Anyway, the theatre is very nice, I was worried it was going to look bad, but they did a great job with it. So after purchasing the biggest Mr. Pibb that they had and a box of Hot Tamales (a movie must), we went in to the theatre. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from this movie, like most people I knew the story behind it, but I was very interested to see how they told the story. Let me just say that they greatly exceeded my expectations. This movie was incredible! The emotion of the whole story was portrayed so well by the actors. In short, I highly recommend you see this movie, even if you aren't a sports fan.
2) For lunch today we went to the newly built Bush's Chicken. My friend Aaron had been bragging about this place since we heard they were opening one in Georgetown. Usually I don't like Chicken places very much (with the exception of KFC because of their bowls), but this place was awesome. They not only had great chicken, but crinkle fries and great rolls. I am always excited when new places open in Georgetown, especially one that has good food and excellent customer service.
Lastly, tomorrow the Cowboys play the Seahawks in the NFC Wildcard game. It's been 10 years since the Cowboys won a playoff game, 10 years! So let's just hope they play better than they have the last few weeks. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Holiday Update!

Since my parents' internet is painstakingly slow, I was not able to update while I was at home. So here is another list of highs and lows of the holiday season.
Highs

• Getting to spend some quality time with my entire family, espcially my nephew Max. He was so much fun and already has a fun personality.
• My parents' new dog Abby is awesome! She is definitely a puppy and has a ton of energy. She likes to bite and chew things up, but is very sweet. I had fun playing with her and teaching her some new tricks.
• New Year's fireworks! In what has become a Chapman family tradition, the fireworks spectacular was awesome. I don't mean to brag, but I'm getting pretty good at fireworks shows.
• Goign to see "Rocky Balboa" with my brothers. Not so much for the quality of the movie (although it was better than I thought it was), but for the fun times with my brothers.
• Getting to visit my grandma, and her looking so much better than she did last Christmas. Even though she still gets confused and I'm not sure if she knew who I was, she looked great.
• Going to a Houston Aero's game with my dad, older brother and Max. He loved it and it was so fun to see him at his first hockey game.

Lows

• Catching a stomach virus that put me in bed for two days and keeping me from eating pizza at Chuck-E-Cheese.
• Having to visit my Uncle in the hospital.
• Everyone in my family catching the illness bug, putting a damper on the last few days.
• Realizing that it will be a while until the whole family is back together.
• Being around the family constantly for almost two weeks. I guess I am spoiled living alone, but I enjoy my "Jason time."

So that is all for now. I hope you all had a great Holiday season.
