I LOVED IT!

I loved the movie "Twilight!" I'm able to say this because I've come to realize over the years that books will ALWAYS be better than the movies. I think the movie really catches the essence of "Twilight" and I think the actor and actresses were great! I was pleasantly suprised. And I think the lead actor and actress for Edward and Bella had great chemistry! 8 out of 10 for me! I can't wait to see the movies that follow!

Harrrrrrry!

*I'm not gonna lie, I was a little more excited to see this than "Twilight" and was kind of annoyed when they pushed HP to next summer. Oh well, less than 24 hours!

Found some old pics I had to share.....hahaaaa!

Thank you to our Veterans....

These pictures are from our visit to Washington D.C. in April 2006. We spent a lot of our time visiting the memorials that honor our many veterans. I hope everyone gets a chance to visit Washington D.C. in their lifetime. I love our country because I love the people in it. Especially those who have lost their lives or their loved ones to preserve our freedom. Thank you.

Bathtub mohawks.

Obama or McCain?

I was feeling a little conflicted this past week leading up to today. I decided all I could do was pray about it and go with my answer. I feel good about putting it in the Lord's hands. :) I know everyone's answers may be different but I wanted to share this funny experience:

So today while I was getting the kids ready to go with me to vote I asked Jaakson very casually, "Should Mommy vote for Obama or McCain?" Jaakson looked me in the eyes and after a couple seconds said, "McCain." I was just curious what he would say and didn't put much stock into it. Then a few seconds later, he said "Go McQueen!!!" OH! NOW I get it! In his 3-year old mind, he thought I was asking him to pick between something called Obama and Lightning McQueen.....of course McQueen, duh! I was telling Klint on the phone this story and how I thought he just said McCain because he thought it was the same as McQueen. So I asked Jaakson w/Klint on speakerphone, "McCain or McQueen?" Jaakson looked me in the eye again and very clearly said, "McCain." Hmmm, interesting! I didn't even tell Klint or anyone who I was voting for at this point! Coincidence?

Quirks? OCD?

*Rosie, your list cracked me up! You're borderline neurotic, you know that? ;) Hahaaaaa! You're the best.

Here are the rules- List 6 of your quirks- Tag six other bloggers.

Quirks

1. I like to drink my milk VERY chilled. Sometimes I'll put ice in it.
2. I have a REALLY hard time when people don't use their words in the right context. Or when people say something like this, "I seen Joe down at the store the other day...." it takes EVERYTHING in me not to correct them.
3. It's torture for me to read a letter or blog if it hasn't been spellchecked and there are several misspelled words. I use dictionary.com. A lot.
4. I HATE wearing nail polish on my fingernails. It looks dirty to me after the first day because it chips so fast. Yet I almost always have nail polish on my toenails and it doesn't bother me if it's chipped.
5. I move my mouth when I write.
6. I'll rewrite an email or letter several times before finishing it. If it's handwritten, it has to look just right. (This post took me at least 20 minutes to write because I kept rechecking it.)

I thought this would be really hard to think of 6 things but I guess some of my quirky things I wrote are probably better classified as pet peeves. ???? I REALLY wish I was OCD in the cleaning department!

I tag Heather Stout, Annie, Jolee, Leslie DeSouza, Lacie, and Lindi. :)
