DIVERGENT.

It seems like a developing tradition now that whenever Jesse comes to visit, it's always a Sunday breakfast [or in this case, brunch] outing before he leaves town. That being said, we were off to do that before he loaded up and headed back to Illinois.

After Jesse was on his way, Rob and I picked our recuperation spots on the couch and decided not to feel guilty about a day of relaxation. After all the activity and bustle of the weekend, it was nice to have nothing on either of our plates for a few hours.

And then, I somehow talked Rob into going with me to see Divergent!!

At work, Elisa and I have been counting down the days to the release of this thing, which actually happened on Friday. She was heading out of town for this weekend, and we had Jesse coming in, so neither of us went to see it on the Friday premier the way we'd planned for the past couple months. Sydni will be here all week, starting tomorrow, so by default that kiiiiind of boiled our options down to tonight... sooo yeah... hah.

It definitely wasn't the explosive release I was expecting, but it was definitely worth the trip & I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't go see it again in a theater before it's out to own. (: I didn't think I'd enjoy Shailene Woodley as much as I did in her role as Tris, but I have to admit she grew on me by the end and I'm a bit curious to see what the next movie in the series will give. I think my miniature lack of excitement comes from the fact that I've read all the books in the series and I know I'm not alone in my disappointment in how the series ended. The Hunger Games was, for the most part, and entirely different sentiment. Ehhhh...

I call that a perfect way to end a nonstop weekend (:

Time to unwind for tonight before we gear up for the whole next week.
Sydni's back tomorrow!!
