The House That Noah Built.

When I saw this photo on the Martha Stewart website my mind immediately went to The Notebook. Could it be? It wasn't. But it was just as beautiful and had an equally captivating view of the water. And I was just as jealous of its  occupants.

I think I quite easily made my way through a box of Kleenex while watching The Notebook. I bawled my eyes out many a time and then sat in disbelief for half an hour after the credits had rolled. I don't think I'd ever been so thankful to have waited for the DVD and not seen a film at the cinema. While I'm sure the experience would have been better in the movies, I'm glad no members of the public ever got to see the mess that was my face at the end of that movie. Mascara, everywhere.

I fell in love with Noah early on. And then over and over again as the movie went on. The scene where Allie faints after seeing that Noah fulfilled his promise and built the dream house. I would have fainted too. A white house with blue shutters. Every time I drive past one I am so insanely envious of whoever lives there. And while, had I been Allie, I probably would have requested navy shutters and a darker tile for the roof, I won't complain. The house is as beautiful as the story.
