HAVE YOU SEEN IT???

Okay so my sisters and I went to see a movie called Bella last week while I was in Vegas. IT WAS SO SO GOOD. It is sort of an Independant film so there hasn't been tons of hype about it, but it is compared to a Its a Beautiful Life and it is # 1 movie out right now... I think, I read that somewhere. Anyways, I suggest you see it. It really is so freaking good, with just a really good message.

An international soccer star (Eduardo Verástegui) is on his way to sign a multi-million dollar contract when something happens that brings his career to an abrupt end. A waitress (Tammy Blanchard), struggling to make it in New York City, discovers something about herself that she's unprepared for. In one irreversible moment, their lives are turned upside down...until an impetuous action brings them together and turns an ordinary day into an unforgettable experience. Once a famous athlete, and now a cook at his brother's Mexican restaurant, José has retreated from the world but he recognizes something in Nina, a young waitress, and reaches out to her. In the course of a single day, he not only confronts his past but shows her how the healing power of a family can help her embrace the future.

If for anything else, go for the characters......

The Big Apple

We just got back from NY the other day it let me tell you it was so fun! We surprised Jon's mom for her 60th birthday. She knew she was going but she had no idea anyone else was going. We were waiting at Tavern on the Green already seated, and the hostess brought her and Ray (her husband) back to our table... She was very shocked. It was a great and fun surprise. Anyway New York was a blast. I love that place. We really had so much fun. Take a look at our pics. Oh and we went to WICKED... that was my second time and it was WONDERFUL!

Jon and I at dinner at The View on top of the Marriott. The restaurant rotates so you get a view of the whole city.

Everyone leaving OZ. Wicked is so unreal!

So really great that this guy tricked me into thinking he would draw a great picture of me for $5. Turned out the picture was awful and was the laughing stock of the day. Not only that, he made me pay an extra $10 for the stupid paper frame! $15 in all for the piece of crap below that looks NOTHING LIKE ME!

"Chubby Jayne" as everyone called her

Tagged Again!

Rules: List six habits facts/habits yourself. Try to find ones you haven't already posted about:

1) I can eat 24/7. My brain doesn't communicate to my stomach that it is full until about 20 bites too late... Hence my constant "i want to throw up feeling"

2) I used to play the drums and was first chair in Junior High (big accomplishment)

3) I am actually quite athletic. I pick up on sports easy and actually would enjoy playing them more if I had any friends!

4) I LOVE LOVE LOVE making my house cute. There are so many things I want to do! I am in the process of redoing my bedroom. Standy by I will post pictures... It may look like a circus :)

5) I was arrested in Panama for a few hours. One of the scariest times of my life... For sure thought I was going to get raped or something.

6) I want an aqua convertible 1967 (if they even made them that year) Mustang, with white leather seats.

Meme: Life-fixing classes
Devise a list of 5-10 courses you would take to fix your life. It’s more fun to be in classes with friends, so include one class from the person who tagged you that you’d also like to take. Tag five.

Considering I love learning but don't like school all that much this should be interesting...

Book of Mormon 101: I would love for Jon and I to take a religion class. I used to go to institute every now and then and have to admit I LOVED IT! I really learned so much, so if I could I would love to learn more about the BofM

Cake Decorating: 101 I want to learn how to decorate cakes so bad! I loved my wedding cake and loved searching for the perfect wedding cake. The whole time I wished I knew how to make something pink and gorgeous!

Music (mainly piano) 101: I love the piano, there is nothing more gorgeous than a depressing song on the piano that makes you want to ball like a baby. I am planning on taking lessons but if there was a class that would guarantee me to be a pro, I would be there no matter what! It would be fun to take this class with my mommy. She would keep my encouraged to keep trying!

Re-upholstery 920: Notice the high number on this one?? This means I REALLY would love to take a class and learn how to upholster my own furniture. I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE THIS COURSE WITH: Jessica, Kelley, Jill, Jennifer. My sisters that share in my same style we would have a blast and learn from each others individual style. My style is a little unique and it just seems like I can't find anything that great in Utah. I love antique stores and that is mainly where I shop (that or a garage sale). I would love to turn people's junk into my treasure with a beautiful new fabric.

Cooking 101: My poor husband... I really believe him when he says he loves what I cook, the problem is... I never cook. If I had out of this world recipes that were easy and fun to make, I am sure I would do it more. All of my recipes come from my dad, which I must admit, they are great, and delicious! I would love to learn how to mix foods and create a recipe from scratch to create something unique and delish. This class would definitely be shared with my Dad.

That was fun Kelley, makes you realize there are alot of things out there that would be fun to learn to do. Maybe I should try some of it :)
