Movie Reviews

When Erin was visiting last week, me and Jay took her to see "Inception" with good ole Leonardo! I won't spoil it for anyone, but I would definately reccomend it! I really really enjoyed it, and the soundtrack is amazing (for a music nerd such as my self). Jay, or course downloaded it when he got home and burned me a copy!


Me and Jay saw the afternoon showing of the new Will Farrell movie, "The Other Guys" about two misfit cops. It was hilarious! I laughed out loud a number of times throughout the movie! I absolutely love Will Farrell, and this movie did not disappoint. In my opinion, it was not as great as say "Anchorman" or even "Talladega Nights" but it was pretty hilarious! It has a good bit of vulgar humor, so I would not reccomend it for children, preteens, or anyone else opposed to that kind of humor. Otherwise, it is great for a laugh!
I am not the biggest Angelina fan...no, not because she is "hot" just because I don't love her acting style, but we may see the movie "Salt" in the near future. Has anybody seen it and have any reviews?




Updating the blog a bit

I have been neglecting the blog lately. The summer heat takes a toll on my generally happy state. I am definately ready for fall even though I know that the cool and crisp weather that I desire is months away! We have not been to Pickwick as much this summer which has been a little bit of a downer. Roger has just been busy busy ever since we got back from the wedding. The wedding was amazing and turned out exactly the way I wanted it to. We treated our closest family and friends to a weekend in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. I planned semi informal activities throughout the weekend, and left plenty of time for exploring and enjoying Eureka Springs. If you ever get a chance to go, I suggest it. It is a great little town with a lot of fun family things to do. I loved seeing my family, and I feel like everybody had a blast. Our wedding ceremony was on Sunday June 6 at Thorncrown chapel which is a beautiful little glass chapel tucked in the woods. The architecture is similar to that of Frank Loyd Wright. It was a wonderful weekend with family and friends and great memories!

Fall classes begin August 18. I am beyond ready. The housewife role is just not my cup of tea, I find plenty of ways to entertain myself. I enjoy painting, sewing, gardening, and canning vegetables. I have had plenty of time this summer to do and enjoy these things. However, I like a challenge, and the world of education provides that for me. I am looking forward to this semester! Then, it's block, student teaching, and graduation! Yay! I am ready to finish this degree and get on with it! I am completely different with this then I was with my PR degree. My heart is in this, which makes a massive difference.

Overall, life is grand! I will keep up with the blog better from now on.....at least I will try!
