favorite things

Just like Oprah, I have my own favorite things list. Near the top the list is the Reflections of Christ CD. This has to be my all-time favorite gospel CD ever! Each and every one these inspirational numbers evokes such spirituality and I love how unique each song is. While listening to it today, I thought I should share my enjoyment with everyone (even though there are few that will read this). If you do not already own it, then I highly, highly recommend you should. Every track is a favorite, but Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing and Be Still, My Soul are absolutely breath taking. I still get chills every time I listen to those two. The DVD is also the best and it portrays Jesus Christ's life in a new light. Love it!

my patronus is....

I love movie premieres. They have always been such a blast! But the premiere for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has probably been the most fun so far. Tim Stricklan, Jake Morris, Ammon Surey, and I made the coolest t-shirts you will ever see in your life. Actually, is was more Tim and I that made the shirts until 3 a.m. the night before while Jake and Ammon sat there, watched Harry Potter, and threw out some ideas. The boys whittled the wands themselves and a big thank you to Ammon’s mom for completing the whole outfit with some wicked robes. Sierra Miller was able join in on the fun also.








































Our list of patronuses (EXPECTO PATRONUM!): Amy- hippogriff, Jake- Optomus Prime, Ammon- Hagrid, Sierra- The Whopping Willow, and Tim- a woman.
















Some friends of ours were there also. Too bad they were lame sauce and didn’t dress up like some amazingly cool people I know. They also didn’t show up early enough so get a good spot in line, like Jake and Ammon who got there at 5 that afternoon, so they cleverly cut in line with us. Those rotten cheaters, but we still love them.




















Tim and I were even lucky enough to be interviewed on the Channel 8 news! That was real exciting and a great chance to show off our awesome costumes that we are way too proud of. And to top off the night, the movie was by far the best Harry Potter movie made so far. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was hilarious. Can’t wait to see it again and get down with my magic self!
