hunger games

after a week of patiently waiting to see the hunger games film,
i said goodbye to the boys for a few hours and headed to the
theater with a girlfriend.

i thoroughly enjoyed reading the book series last year,

and my hope was the movie would be just half as good.

i was happily surprised.

the film followed the book so well,
and overall, the casting was fantastic!

jennifer lawrence as heroine katniss everdeen was spot on,

the same character i stayed up late into the night reading about.

she's strong, resilient and a survivor.

i walked out of the theater with a smile on my face
{salt on my cheeks from a few tears}

and anxious for the next film, catching fire.

~ i was anxious to hear what my s-i-l thought about this movie
since she was a fan too after reading the book.  she approved. *woo hoo*
so far, it seems the book fans are giving the movie approval.
