Movie Review: Inkheart

I went and saw Inkheart on Saturday with Chrisanne and I actually really liked it. I haven't read the book, but I heard it was really good. It was pretty popular when I was in junior high. I liked it much more than I thought I would. When the character Dustfinger was introduced I thought to myself, "My heck he's a creep," but he really grew on me. In fact, I think it would have been so cute if he and Maggie would have ended up together, I mean if he were only 4-5 years older than Maggie and waited until she was eighteen. Chrisanne didn't like Brendan Fraser playing the dad (M0, aka Silvertongue) but I actually did. I think the smaller characters like Elinor and Farid really made the movie more entertaining. I'd reccommend it. Overall I really liked this movie and would give it 3 1/2 stars.

Bucket List

Hey all! I've probably lost all of my faithful readers (aka my bestest buddies) because I've been a slacker and haven't updated since....let me check.... OCTOBER 5TH!!!! But hey, at least I'm doing it now!! And what better way to re-start my blogging career than by creating a bucket list?? That's right, there is no better way! So, in no particular order, I give you my very own personal bucket list!


1. Get married to an attractive perfectly imperfect RM in the Salt Lake Temple!!
2. Have a beautiful family, preferably here in Utah. I'd be perfectly content living here in beautiful Orem forever. Unless I don't get into medical school at the U.
3. Become a doctor, cardiologist in particular.
4. Become FLUENT in Spanish, not just semi-decent-barely-would-be-able-to-survive-in-Spain Spanish.
5. Have an annual 'best friends from high school trip'!! (I love you girls!)
6. learn to whistle (without my retainers)
7. NEVER forget a day to read my scriptures and write in my journal. I've been going strong for over 3 years without skipping a day.
8. Spend the night at Orem High.
9. Become a True Tiger, I think Ultimate Tiger is a little over the top though....
10. Graduate from BYU.
11. Come up with a medical breakthrough and save thousands of lives.
12. Become thin (HA!)
13. Go to Prom.... (Double HA!)
14. Study abroad in Spain for a semester.
15. Kiss Swaggart Morretti!! just kidding he's taken, but I'll do the same thing Poppy did. So instead...I'll kiss he who must not be named in this list.
16. Go skinny dipping!! (haha)
17. Live to the ripe old age of 100!! (I want my husband to live that long too so I'm not an old widow spinster)
18. Learn to sing, except not like a dying cow.
19. learn to cook so I survive in college. NO, rather learn to LIKE to cook.
20. Celebrate National Boy Boycott Day every year! Even when I'm married! haha, September 13 baby!!
21. play Belle in Beauty and the Beast
22. Marry Jonathan Taylor Thomas
23. will be added someday.
p.s. This list may/may not be updated, depending on if I come up with more things I want to do.
