The Dark Knight

Okay... I like Heath Ledger. Come on.. what's there not to like! ;)

He was a good actor that just decided to leave the earth a little too early. The Dark Knight was the last movie he did. It is based on the DC Comic Batman.

This movie is cool. It has some great special effects. Jeremy, Kelly and Charles (Kelly's friend) and I went to see it last night. There was only 1 part that I didn't like but that was because it was gross. (I'm not into gross things like that! Ewww! :) )

Heath did such a great job. You didn't even realize it was him, unless you knew he was in the movie. Jeremy said he didn't realize it was him until the credits started rolling and it said that it was in memory of Heath.

Christian Bale, Maggie Gylenhall(?), Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and others were good as well.

I would recommend seeing it if you're into comics or like action movies. It was pretty good. I'd give it 3 stars.

OVER THE HILL... OFFICIALLY!

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY TO ME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! (I'm singing this.. can't you tell! ;) )

I am officially 30 years old today... July 26th, 2008. It was 30 years ago today that I came into this lovely world. I was born at 1:10 p.m in Dallas... I think at Presbyterian Hospital.

An interesting side note about the year I was born.... It was the same year that the 1st ever test tube baby was born. She was born on July 25th, somewhere over in England. I saw her picture and stuff online the other day. Pretty cool, huh!

My family threw a party for me to celebrate. The menu consisted of brisket, smoked sausage, chicken, homemade baked beans, pasta salad, potato salad and homemade rolls. For dessert, we of course had birthday cake. My sister made it for me(see picture above). We also had my mom's famous banana pudding.

We invited several friends over and had a wonderful time of sitting around the table eating and talking.

I am thankful that God has given me these 30 years and hopeful that he will give me at least 30 more!

Nothing Much This Week

Not a lot has been going on this week. I've sort of stayed here at the house.

Let's see... what have I done:

Monday- I cleaned out my desk and rearranged some of the things at my desk... Fun.. I know but I didn't realize that I had that much junk just stuffed in there! It really needed it!

Tuesday- I went to school to see how the renovation process is going. My room is huge now! The wall that was there between my room and the one next door is gone! I can't wait to it in there and start decorating my new room. For just starting last week, the workers have done a lot. There were several walls already knocked out. Some rooms were gutted out to make room for new offices, a computer lab, etc. My principal said that they should have it done before August 1st. I'm going to hold my breath, but I'm just hoping that everything will be done before school starts.

Wednesday(Today)- I cleaned my kitchen and paid some bills. Other than that, not much.

Starting tomorrow, I'll be babysitting the kids. Jim and Cheryln are going to Florida for a business trip and I'm staying here with the kids. Hopefully Lillie won't be too sad with Mommy gone for a few days.

We're getting the outside of our house repainted. It's starting to look really nice. They should have it done tomorrow or Friday.

I promise I'll have more to talk about in the coming weeks. Let's see.. I'll have Jeremy here to blog about. I'll have my BIG birthday. We're going on vacation. School will be starting.

So stay tuned! :D

Back at Home... At least for a few weeks!

I'm back at home in Houston right now. I got back on Sunday afternoon. Not a lot has happened since then. It was good to sleep in my own bed and get back to life down here. I'll be here for a couple of weeks, then I return back to Carrollton for my 30th birthday! Plus, we are going on a family vacation to Tennessee. Also, my friend Jeremy is coming over. He'll be here in 2 weeks! Woo Hoo!!

Let's see... what I am going to do while I'm down here for a few weeks. Well... I went yesterday and got my nails done. They look pretty. I went to HEB to get a couple of groceries to last me while I'm here. I reorganized my books for school. I also organized my wheel drawer that I keep all my personal school supplies in.

Tomorrow I'm thinking about going to Palais Royal. I heard that they are having a sale. I usually don't find anything, but I thought it would be something to do outside of the house. I also have Praise Team practice tomorrow night. I haven't been in a few weeks, so they might say.. "Who are you?" Just kidding. I'll actually be able to go to church this Sunday. It's also my Sunday to sing. That will be nice.

Other than that, not much is going on. I wish there was something more exciting, but I guess that will be in the coming weeks.

Keep looking for more updates!

Here's The Newest Addition!

Here's the Newest Addition to the Family:

Isn't it pretty! :D I got it yesterday at CarMax. It's a 2004 GMC Envoy SLE XL. Here are some of the cool features: 4 doors, 3rd row seats, storage rack, tow hitch and CD/Tape player. It has 43K miles. Not bad for a 4 year car. It drives really smooth. My dad said it's almost like a brand new 2009 model. It was very well kept. It will take a little bit to get used to driving it, but I think I can handle it. I just thought that I would share a picture. :D
