The Notebook

i was watching the notebook while i got ready this afternoon. i love that movie which is no shocker because i'm a total sucker for chick flicks and it's one of the best of its kind! what's amusing is that mike really likes it too. i always tease him that it's because rachel mcadams is hot but he insists that it's just a good movie.

i got to the scene where allie and noah are fighting by her car and smiled.

allie: look at us, we're already fightin'.
noah: well that's what we do, we fight... you tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. which you are, 99% of the time. i'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. you have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.
allie: so what?
noah: so it's not gonna be easy. it's gonna be really hard. we're gonna have to work at this every day, but i want to do that because i want you. i want all of you, forever, you and me, every day.

i love this scene and especially the dialogue because it reminds me so much of our own relationship. we've had this same exchange before just not as eloquently or well-written. in my opinion, it's one of the many reasons why we're such a strong couple. we argue, we disagree and we both have really strong convictions. we're stubborn and passionate and god knows, neither one of us is a doormat. what's great though is that regardless of all that, there's a mutual respect that is always present.

it may not work for everyone but it really works for us.
