What Is Your Favorite Movie and Book?
Movie: About Time. It is the best rom com ever. It has a cheesy plot but Rachel McAdams is awesome. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I love World War Two movies.

It also resonates with our family a little bit, because I have an adopted brother. I got to watch what it looks like to transition to America from a different country firsthand.
Book: Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. It addressed a lot of things that were running through my mind for years.
