Chocolate.

I am grateful for chocolate! I have a major sweet tooth. All the time. Ha! I seriously love most things chocolate. Probably not the best thing, but still, its a weakness! I find that every time I eat a meal, I crave something sweet after. Hmmm. Guess that's why I'm trying to exercise, so that I can stay fit, and still eat the chocolate that I love. Justification? I think so :) My friend Jessica and I even go out to restaurants specifically to get dessert. We call them our "dessert nights", because when you normally go out to eat, you never have room for dessert, so we skip the meal, and go straight for the good stuff! Chilis molten cake is pretty much the best, as is the "fazookie" or something like that from Firehouse Pizza in Logan. I suggest you try them both! I also love peanut butter M&Ms, Twix, Whatchamacallits, and lots of others. So if you wanna try to get on my good side, just bring me any of these.

Let's go to the Movies!

I am very grateful for movies! I am kind of a movie fanatic. I love movies. All types of movies! It's so fun to sit down and pick a great show to watch, because there is a movie for every mood that you are ever in. There are the chick flicks, that, I have to say, are my very favorite. There are funny ones, (She's the man, The Proposal, 27 Dresses, etc.) sad ones (P.S. I Love You, Raising Helen...) ones that I watch when I want a good cry (Beaches, Charly) and many, many, many others! They are pretty great. There are also some of what my sister and I call our "Sunday Afternoon Movies" they consist of the classics, like Pride & Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Love Comes Softly, and lots of others. Some of my other favorites are Pirates (the first one is the best!), The Bourne movies, The Pelican Brief, Newsies, X-men, Mamma Mia, Crocodile Dundee, Footloose, The Man from Snowy River (Gotta love the Australian ones!), and so many others. I also love watching movies over and over again. I have a growing collection! I love to own the good ones, and watch them whenever I want! At the moment, I'm watching "The Truman Show". Crazy how people can think of stories like that. But really entertaining!

I also love to go to movies in the theaters. I have even gone multiple times in a week. Did you know that Tuesdays at the Megaplex theaters is cheaper? Only about $6 instead of $8 or 9! Score! I think I'm gonna finish now, because this is kind of a rambling post. But, movies are great. Its fun to be able to relax, and enjoy watching someone else's life unfold on the screen! Go and enjoy a good old classic, new release, or movie in the theater. Speaking of which, I haven't been to one in a while. Anyone want to go with me? :)

Nothin' like a good book!

I am grateful for good books! I love love love to read. I have since I have learned how to read. I love all kinds of books, and can remember the ones I used to love as a kid, and still do! I loved to read the "Nancy Drew" mysteries, "Goosebumps", "Boxcar Children", "The Egypt Game", and so many others. I loved to be read to, as well. I can remember my 6th grade class, when my teacher, Ms. Beckstead would read to us, and I remember loving the books, and really getting into them. Now, I still love it! Of course I have read Harry Potter, Twilight, The Hunger Games, and most of the popular ones. My genre of choice most of the time are LDS Romance, authors like Anita Stansfield (Because she sets some of her stories in Australia!), Michelle Ashman Bell, Betsy Brannon Green, and others with good stories. I also enjoy Nicholas Sparks, and Jane Austen. I've been trying to read all the classics! I don't always enjoy non-fiction, but I've been getting into some of those lately, and some church books. I just love being able to get away from life for a bit by immersing myself in a good book.
