How Does She Know?!

A few years ago everyone was RAVING about this disney musical that was in theaters.. Enchanted. i never saw it in theaters.. and secretly made fun of my friends who admitted to singing the songs for WEEKS after seeing it. once the movie hit DVD i didn't see the harm in attempting to watch it. i convinced Riley that everyone said it was soo funny (i hadn't heard that at all actually... however when it comes to getting a husband to watch something like disney... or Glee... a little white lie isn't the worst thing... it's just a push towards something you know they'll love anyway... they just need to know OTHER guys like it too) we rented it and popped it in with his mom while his dad was away at a training. his mom thought it was alright... Riley LOVED it... he'd be in the shower and i would hear (quite loudly i might add) "awww-aww -ahhhhh"



ya i totally just put a clip up... i wanted you to know what sound i just attempted to type... ANYWAY, he's pretty good at that noise... and it puts him in a good mood to do so :) He also LOVES the song "how does she know" and yes he'll sing it to me, very sweetly... but usually at awkward times.. if i'm in the mood to watch OR listen to enchanted, he won't usually complain. this is my man who did NOT grow up in a Disney house (like i did!) he has seen Aladin, but only because of Robin Williams (i believe) he's NEVER seen Hercules, or MOST other disney movies... i figured i had hit a fluke with Enchanted and was NOT going to press my luck... and yes, i loaded a few of the songs from the soundtrack on his ipod before he left, so it can make his day so much better when he needs it.

HOWEVER, as most ANYONE that knows me, knows that i have this obsession with the movie princess and the frog... it makes me laugh SOOO hard, i totally CRIED when i first saw it... and still tear up a little now. While Rye was at SOI and i was driving every weekend, he was on restriction one weekend... so we pretty much sat in my car the WHOLE weekend. we bought a power converter for my cig-hole thingy and watched movies in the backseat on my laptop the princess and the frog was released earlier that week and Of COURSE i bought it... (the blu-ray + DVD + digital copy edition) so i convinced Rye of the awesomeness of this movie and that we should watch it. well he got bored about 5 minutes in said something like "Sav.... this is REALLY lame..." and then decided making out was so much more fun. every time i quoted that movie or begged to watch it, he would tell me how confused he was as to WHY i liked this movie so much... ya at that moment i KNEW he would never enjoy this movie even a smidgen of as much as i did. so i gave up... HOWEVER he then left for a month for training in Cali way back in August. he had a day off and was chillin in the single marines lounge place... and apparently they played the princess and the frog MORE than once.. and he watched it all the way through (i think more than once) he called me and let me know he kind of liked it a little more... YES!!! success!!! let's just say, he's become a fan now... and i couldn't be happier...

i was thinking about this today as i watched "Tangled" for the first time EVER today. i am curious as to whether Rye will like it... i think he might! plus he does like Mandy Moore... but it is still not quite as epic as Princess and the Frog, OR Enchanted... maybe i need to see it a few more times before it gets added to that list of epicness. here is one of my favorite parts from Tangled.



i think i might download the soundtrack, ya i'm going to go do that... the point of this post is to express that i really enjoyed this movie, and we'll have to see if Rye will enjoy it... but until then, here is the song of the day

i had a few possibilities... however with this deployment getting ever closer to the end, i'm a sucker for a sappy song :) so from the amazing movie, Enchanted.... here we have So Close

You're in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I want is to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy ending
Almost believing this one's not pretend
And now you're beside me and look how far we've come
So far, we are, so close

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We're so close
To reaching that famous happy ending
Almost believing this one's not pretend
Let's go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far
