Girls Weekend in SLC

Ok, So it may seem weird that this is #9 when it didn't involve Mike. But it did. I went to Salt Lake on a girls weekend with my friend Sabrena, while Mike stayed home and had a Game Night with his friends. It was a nice vacation for Sabrena and I. We saw our friend Sarah, went to Temple Square and watched The Joseph Smith Story. We also went to Gateway Mall and a few other things. It was a great weekend. The next weekend, Mike and I had a short trip to SLC so he and I were able to do some fun stuff then.

Top Ten Moments of 2009- #10

I will be breaking up my Top 10 moments as to not overwhelm myself and bore everyone else.

#10

St. George Trip~

So this was a trip that we took Labor Day Weekend with my friend Sarah. It was such a great moment because it was the first time we went on vacation with no big plans to do this and do that. We stayed in an AWESOME condo thanks to my sister Joyce. We swam every day, went to Zions National Park and did some shopping. It was a lot of fun!

Top 5 Movies of 2009

As always, these are the top 5 movies that I have seen this year. You may have seen something you liked a lot more, but that is why it is my list....LOL. (Also, Mike and I do not go to movies hardly ever, so most are ones we waited to see until they were on DVD)

5) The Soloist-

Not just because I was an orchestra and choir geek, or because I LOVE the actors, but because it is one of those movies that really makes you think. Not as good as the book, but a great movie.

4) Taken-

I loved this movie! I like suspense movies. I loved that there was not a lot of blood, gore, etc. Makes me never want to let my kids travel alone for sure.

3) 17 Again-

Corny to most of you I know. But remember, we are BIG Disney Fans in this house.

This was a remake of an old Disney Channel Original movie (the original starred the entire Mowry family). I thought it was a fun movie.

2) UP!-

At first, I wasn't sure how I felt about this movie. Mostly because it was so much darker then the other Pixar films. Maybe because the characters had real life problems. It wasn't just talking cars, etc. But in the end I really LOVED the movie. It was cute and had a good lesson.

1) Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince-

Yes, I know, it left out a battle scene from the book. HOWEVER- I do not think it varied so much from the book that it ruined it. (I know a lot of people feel differently.) I also think it was left in a good spot to lead up to the final movie(s).

Honorable Mentions:

He's Just Not That Into You

(WARNING: if you are in one of these relationships you will not like this movie)

Hannah Montana: The Movie

(Yes, another Disney Movie, but much better done then Lizzie McGuire)

The Proposal

(Probably the closest to making it into the Top 5. It was a little predictable but very cute)

I will note:

I am not a Twilight fan, so I did not see it.

I only see about 15 new movies a year so there are a lot I haven't seen yet.
