The Mountain of Fire

She did it. she finally did it. She has traveled to the land of Mordor and entered the fiery depths of Mt. Doom with Frodo and Sam. I know that she mentioned it a little bit, but I was so glad that she wanted to watch the epic series with me. I think I had to semi-force her at first, but then, as she has admitted, kind of liked it. What a wonderful woman I have married, to participate in my geekdom. It was actually really funny, as she was asking me questions I was able to use the appropriate LOTR lingo to which she looked up at me and said, "you are such a dork". When it comes to those movies, I am admittedly the biggest dork on the planet. Not going to lie, it was actually on my secret list of desires in a wife, one who enjoys these movies. So thank goodness she does enjoy them! :) So, here is a big "Huzzah!" for my wife and being a good enough sport to watch those movies with me, and to admittedly enjoy them. She is the bestest!

I love this! In college I remember attempting, with a group of other friends (191st. ward cronies) to get Kaylinn to participating in some LOTR watching. She just wasn't too keen on the idea... Not even my lavishing praise on New Zealand after the mish would help. :) So, a big cheers to you, Mark!

P.S. I wish Aaron would settle with me just watching the trilogy... Now he's bent on me actually reading them. (I tell him I will as soon as he reads Pride & Prejudice). :)

Good job Mark! I didn't think Kaylinn would have ventured down that road. Can you e.mail me some of the 1-liners you used to get her to watch it with you, I'd like to borrow them on my wife.
