So I might seem like a total ditz for saying this but The Devil Wears Prada movie changed my life. Before you cast judgment let me explain myself. The movie came out the summer before I met Mark. I went to see it with an x boyfriend who I thought I’d try to stay friends with, that was dumb. Now I don’t go to movies of this nature thinking that my life will change but I guess I was ready to hear something that I should have got a long time ago. I’d never read the book so the story line was all new to me. I enjoyed it a lot, I love learning about the modeling industry, stupid as it is. But it was the end of the movie that made me reevaluate my life. Andy Sacks (Anne Hathaway) is in the car with Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). Andy is in shock over Miranda’s behavior towards her friends. Miranda tells Andy that she has acted similar toward another friend. Andy proceeds to tell Miranda that what she did was different, she didn’t have a choice when she let her friend down, she had to. Mind you that Andy has used this excuse for her bad behavior throughout the entire movie. It is then that “the Devil” tells her that every step of her life she has had a choice, and she has chosen to put getting ahead in her career over being a good friend. But this is where the “Devil” changes the truth to lies. Miranda tells Andy that these are the choices that are necessary in life. Andy wonders if she wants that life. Miranda returns with something like, “Oh please, everyone wants to be us”. It is then that Andy realizes that she is not everyone. She walks away from that life right there. She finally makes a choice.
When I heard this dialog I was amazed. I realized that I had been living years of my life thinking that I had no options. Thinking that I was in a rut with no way to get out. After watching this movie I realized that life is full of choices. We just sometimes have a problem seeing the different options. After the movie, I ended the so called friendship I had with my X. I started to see the options in my life and not only see them but try to see the right choices for what they were,The Right Choices. I know it is so crazy and ditzy but I honestly do accredit this movie to leading me to my Mark.
Anyway, I just saw the movie again and was taken back in time. To all those who haven’t seen it, I recommend it, to all those who have, see it again.

I agree with you, I loved this show. I am glad your Mark is home and you don't have to live the single life anymore. Miss ya.
