The Lewis family really enjoyed Up. Our reasons were different, though. The girls liked the visual feast and layers of humor ("Squirrel!"), but Betsy and I found it to be touching - both sad and heartwarming. It's full of themes of loyalty and redemption, but, most significantly for us, adventure.
A little over 14 years ago, Betsy and I crafted our own marriage vows. In addition to pledging our faithfulness regardless of finances and health, we declared our commitment to stay together through both boredom and adventure.
Betsy's grandmother thought that was just awful. Betsy and I thought it was realistic.
But we crave the adventure - we've had plenty. Mostly good. I pray God grants us even more.
