::fingers crossed::

Our sweet friend Rachel offered to babysit for us tonight so Kris and I could go out. Of course, as usual he's on call! So I need everybody to cross their fingers and wish really hard that no kids will get hit in the mouth, fall on their mouth, catch a baseball with their mouth, get hit with brass knuckles or fall on their mouth from skates or bikes.
We're going to see the Star Trek movie, finally. And I think the below person DEFINITELY deserves to see the movie uninterrupted.  

(I'm the tallest one)

I worked really hard on that halloween costume.  I got the nose putty for our ears from Taylor Maid in the University Mall.  You can't see it, but I also embroidered a little star trek insignia on cross stitch fabric and sewed it onto my sweatshirt.  The eyebrows included a liberal use of mom's make up. Sorry mom!

Anyway, that kind of dedication is worth something, right?

Kris hadn't seen any of the old Star Trek movies (or didn't remember them).  In fact, he was a star trek scoffer.  So me, having been a serious fan in my tween years, but later growing out of it, figured it was something we would never share, and I was ok with that.  

But then he said we should watch all the old movies before we went to see the new one.  And we did.  Kris even borrowed a projector while Kelly was here and we watched three of the movies on the big screen (and by that I mean a big blue bedsheet hanging on the wall).  It was awesome.  And both Kelly and Kris have been enlightened.  So now at least they're not so rude about Star Trek.  That's progress.

Anyway, wish us luck that we get to see the whole thing.  I'm sure we'll need it!
