Life Post-Potter

I am blessed to have a husband who didn't want to read Harry Potter until I made him get through the first two books.  It has worked out quite well actually, he's been reading them and often we sit on the couch and read them to each other--watching his facial expressions, answering (sometimes) his questions, and having discussions about the Potter characters' development makes me feel like I'm reading them for the first time all over again.  Molly was right, an un-Potter-ed husband is the next best thing you could to do obliviating yourself.

Well, I was a bit sad about not being able to see HP 7 Part Deux until Lawry finished the books (he's not allowed to watch movies before having read the book--the better for his imagination), that was until my sister sent me a message asking about tickets to see HP in BCS!  It was great to see the end of the Harry Potter series with her.  She was the one who started me on the books!  She got Sorcerer's Stone for Christmas one year and not too long after, we were both hooked and attending midnight releases for the books.  It was sweet to end and begin Harry Potter with her, we spent the afternoon after watching the movie talking about our favorite characters, our favorite scenes from the movie, favorite moments from the books... I loved it!  Then we ended a sweet day with some banana bread baking.

Also, for those of you who didn't know yet... that's the wife chop!  Lawry told me I looked "older," and by that he meant I look "my age!"
