Today I ran an event for RAINN... a movie screening of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (a murder-mystery indie film that illustrates the effects of rape). Although we did not have the size crowd I was hoping for, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie (like really really really loved), and felt that the post-discussion went well. My mom was amazing in both helping set up for the event and participating in the discussion afterward. I am so lucky to have such a supportive family, I couldn't be happier! I HOPE that the word will continue to spread about this film, and it will truly spark throughout the U.S.
On another note, I absolutely love spending time with my boyfriend Tim's family. They are so welcoming, I feel loved and accepted, and am truly excited about the summer plans we have... weekends at the beach, weddings, vacation in NC. I am truly at ease when we are sitting around the house, everyone is smiling and happy, and I feel totally comfortable.
So, I participated in / attended 4 weddings in 2009, and it seems that 2010 will be the same. I am singing at my good friend Amy's wedding next weekend (From This Moment On, by Shania Twain)... I am travelling to Florida on Memorial Day weekend for my good friend Karen's wedding... I am joining Tim's family in NC for his cousin's wedding... and my cousin Eva is getting married in August. I wonder what 2011 will bring!
