I know some of us love the movie, and others not so much, but with my wedding anniversary tomorrow I wanted to share with you how much this silly movie means to me 
It is why I am married to David, and therefore the reason that Naomi and Parker exist
3 years ago last October, I was sitting home alone one Saturday night. I was a senior in college, and dealing with being divorced after being married for 5 years to a man I was barely over. The hard part of the divorce was what to do with myself when Nathan went to his dad for weekend visitation. I had already been through the phase where I partied on those weekends. I had been through the phase where I moped on those weekends...and I finally just "was".
I determined that Nathan's rabbit Miss Trixie Boo was out of food, so I went to Wal-Mart to get bunny food I ran into an old friend of mine, David. Funny enough since Wal-Mart was the only place to shop in that town, I had regularly been running into my friend David a lot over the last 6 months! He was getting off work and so he walked me through the store as I grabbed the few things I needed.
As we went to the checkout, I saw a gigantic Hershey bar and said, "Look at that candy bar! It's ginormous!"
David laughed at me like I was the funniest thing on the planet and I said, "What? Haven't you seen Elf? He says that in Elf!" David told me he hadn't seen it, so I asked if he wanted to come back to my place and watch it.
He just never left :wub:
That was in October. We were engaged on Thanksgiving. Tried to plan a Christmas eve wedding but got impatient and were married at the courthouse on the 14th My life would be less full without him in it, and the beautiful children he gave me!
That is how the movie Elf changed my life
:wub: 
It's kind of our movie
