The Deathly Hallows

HP 7 PART 2. The beloved series has come to an end. As much as I loved the movie and intend to go see it over and over again, I am so sad it is over! Harry Potter is the reason I love to read. It gave me a chance to escape into another world and experience the magic and excitement within. The first time I actually had a conversation with Dan, he said, "We should hang out sometime, I'm really magical." I knew he was the one because I could share my HP love with him! :) Anyway, if you haven't seen the movie yet, get off your lazy butt and go enjoy the best 2 and half hours of cinematic glory this year. Here are some pics, to give you some insight as to how badly my family wishes Hogwarts were real.

Hunger Games Cast

Here are my picks for the casting of The Hunger Games movie, schedule to release in 2012. My choices are based on looks alone, not acting ability necessarily. Whatcha think?

Hallows Vs. Horcruxes

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. We of course went to the midnight showing and of course dressed up. I was Dobby the house elf and Dan was Albus Dumbledore, (RIP). We went with my brother and a group of friends. I loved the movie so much. I won't go in to details for those of you who haven't seen it, but it was wonderful. I thought it was slow and intense, just like it should be. It was a great translation from book to movie. The acting was better then its ever been and the cinematography was brilliant. It changed/left out a few things but thats going to happen no matter what when you make a movie from a book. I have heard a lot of bad reviews saying it was too slow and never solved anything. Which is true, but I didn't think it was bad. It had to be slow, it was supposed to be- thats exactly what they are going thru in the book and it was the perfect part 1 to an AWESOME story! LOVED IT. Long Live Potter.

Yes Please

Something I am excited to see...

Oh happy day I only have 14 days left until graduation and only 5 actual classes left to attend.

This last weekend the boy and I went down to UTAH to look for jobs, apartments, and to play with the family. It was a success as far as playing with the fam but no luck on jobs or apts. I did get to go talk to a guy that has TONS of connections all over Utah and he helped me out big time so hopefully somebody will start hiring soon!

I think we played Ticket to Ride two thousand times. We stayed up soo late every night playing. It was awesome. I love that game. Just talking about it makes me want to go and play.

FOURTH OF JULY. We got to go to a fireworks show in Riverton, near my sisters house. It was a good show. We got to the park 2 hours early and found absolutely no parking and way too many people so we went to a nearby church, set up there and enjoyed the fireworks. We played scategories before it got dark. That game is so much fun but I can't play with Dan or my brothers because they never will count my answers. I think I am incredibly creative but apparently they do not. After that game, my little sister Jessie and I took turns doing monologues for the family. How embarrassing of us. The fireworks were great- my neices were hilarious. They LOVED them! Cam kept running from person to person to tell us each about the fireworks she saw and then she would get distracted by something on the ground for a few minutes, then remember the fireworks and start running around again. She told her mom, "I love the fireworks and the fireworks love me". It was great.

Speaking about my neices... look how cute they are, all ready for pool time. Kind of struggled getting a picture where they were all looking and happy.

So Whittney and I have officially started making clothes. It is so much fun! I'm not that great at it but I love it. We have mostly made skirts, but we are starting to make shirts and dresses as well. Since I got a sewing machine for my birthday, all I wanna do is sew, sew, sew. When I first opened it, I was playing around on it and ended up staying up all night because I was having too much fun to stop. We'll have to take some pics and showcase our work sometime :)

Happy Procreation Season. Everyone I know is pregnant (I am not) or just barely had a baby. I'm so excited for all you baby havers!

NYC here we come in 20 days. I can NOT wait.

ECLIPSE. Naturally, the girlies in my famdamily got together to go see it. Can I just say I absolutely loved it! They finally got Edwards makeup right, Bella did much better, and they did pretty good at staying with the book. I have loved every film so far of this series but mostly because I love the books so much. This movie was just done so much better and was so good. Jacob is so hot, its hard not to be distracted by those muscles. mmmmm. I really liked how they had more of the Seattle vamps in this... going along with Steph Meyer's new book The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. I loved that book, and I'm glad they included some of it in the movie. Anyway, I loved it and I love Edward.

DROID DOES

My parents came to visit a few weekends ago. It was awesome. I loved having them here. We saw Avatar, which was really good. Dan decided its a mix between Pocahontas and Fernguly, which I would say is an accurate description.

Last weekend, our friend Matt came up from Salt Lake and stayed with us for a few days. We went shooting, watched a dumb movie, and ate a lot of junk. I'm so glad he came up, I know Dan misses him and it was good for the boys to have some guy time.

Our cute lil nephew Sky was blessed this last Sunday. He is adorable. It was really great for Dan to be a part of that. And, really fun to hang out with Dans family!

I live at school. I'm assistant stage managing Macbeth and also am an extra in it (this is for a class). It is a lot of fun, but a lot of time. I'm at school 6 days a week and sometimes from 9am to 11pm. Its tough, I miss my husband and friends. BUT, its going to be a really amazing show!! Lots of blood. I feel bad for Dan because I get stressed out so easily nowadays, but I have decided at least once a week I have to do something for me, that has nothing to do with school. It has helped a lot.

Whittney and I are starting a business together!!! It will hopefully be up and running very soon. It is called JUNE. We're selling things we make. We will let everyone know when the website is completed. Whittney is amazing at it, and has really cute stuff to sell. I have a few things, but as soon as this semester is over I will have more!

We got a new car! Unfortunately my car completely broke down a few weeks ago (while I was driving to school--not fun). Then about 2 weeks later Dan's car stopped working so great. That is what I call unlucky. Anyway, we were able to get a new car- a silver MAZDA 6. We love it. I will post pics as soon as I get around to taking some. I have to be careful not to speed in it because I'm not used to having a car that goes over 55mph on the highway. teehee teehee.

I am drinking strawberry kiwi juice right now. It is really hitting the spot. So delicious. I have been drinking too much soda lately.

I'm reading the Confessions of Georgia Nicholson series again because the TENTH ONE JUST CAME OUT. I'm very very excited about it. If you haven't read these books, YOU SHOULD. They are incredibly easy reads and so so hilarious. I laugh out loud on nearly every page. They are about a 14 year old british girl Georgia, and her growing up. She is so funny. Love them.

WHERE IS GOSSIP GIRL? Is it back on yet? I haven't seen anything for it. I am so not okay with this, as Gossip Girl is my happy place.

Welp, thats all folks. Holla.
