I know we both had so much fun and not a single thing went wrong.

Day 5- A Favorite Quote

"I regret not the things I've done, but those I did not do." Lucas, in Empire Records

I think this is a good quote to live by, I've always liked it!

Day 4- A Favorite Television Show

I used to watch TV ALL the time, but after losing about 40lbs I have less and less interest sitting around on my rear end, inside. As I type this I am thinking about how I want to do Zumba, go for a 2 mile run and maybe even a bike ride today! It also helps that both Cory and I refuse to pay for cable television, we do have Netflix streaming, but that way we can choose what we want to watch when and there are no commercials. I think I am going to cheat a bit and choose two shows one that I enjoy and one that Cory and I enjoy watching together.

My absolute favorite TV show is Amazing race, every Sunday I watch it on TV and I HATE when it's not on.

My favorite TV show to watch with Cory is Sons of Anarchy, it's done by the same guy who did The Shield, a television show in which I 100% hate, I refuse to even LISTEN to that show. However, I really like the family centered feeling of Sons of Anarchy and I love Katey Sagal's character Gemma. I also enjoy sitting down with my husband watching something that we BOTH enjoy!

That's all for now :-).

Day 3- A Favorite Book

Day three and so far so good on the blog!

I used to enjoy reading much more before I went to college and then I had to read so much boring stuff that I didn't read for almost 2 years after I graduated college.

I really enjoy books in series so Harry Potter, Twilight, The Dark is Rising Sequence, I think it's because I read so fast I'm always let down after I'm done reading a book. It's like that was so good, but now it's over!

Anyhow my favorite book is whichever Stephanie Plum Novel by Janet Evanovich that I'm currently reading. I have the entire series including the between the numbers books, however I'm only on book number eleven right now so, I still have 5 more number books (make that 6 June 21st) and 3 more between the number books to read. I just love the books they have absolutely everything!

Day 2- A Favorite Movie

This topic is a little easier as Cory and I try to go see movies regularly, but lately there just haven't been any movies in the theater that we've wanted to see. We usually go to the matinées because they're a lot cheaper.

I remember going to the movies when I was younger with my grandparents and my grandmother had what she called her "Movie Purse". She'd wait till the lights went down and would start handing out the loot all while warning us to be quiet about it, entire cans of pop, chips, candy, you name it and enough for everyone to have plenty. I swear that thing was bottomless!

Anyhow, back to the post at hand! Right now my favorite movie is Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland I saw it in the theater at the Cine Capri (which is supposedly the largest theater in AZ), alone while I was waiting for Cory's red eye flight to come in from MN. I had an absolute blast all by myself and loved every minute of the movie. It's such an awesome girl power movie and I loved Tim Burton's take on the story and how he gave it a plot. I never really liked the traditional Alice in Wonderland growing up, but I love this one!

Day 1- A Favorite Song:
I'm not much of a music person, not really sure why, but I never really have been into it. I remember my Mom & Dad taking us to Orchestra Hall in St. Paul EVERY Sunday for what seemed like forever and I HATED it! I realized that they were just trying to share their passion for music with me, but it didn't quite stick.

So a favorite song, I'm the type of person that can leave one CD in for months and just listen to it on repeat.

Right now my favorite song is Talking to God by Hurt.

Our Wedding

Last November Cory and I got married back in Minnesota. It was such a sunny, beautiful day in the forties. We had pictures taken outside, which I was not counting on. We were so amazed that 170 people attend out of the 200 we invited. I cannot think of anything that went wrong, after hearing stories upon stories of things that went wrong at other weddings. We had such a fun time with our friends and family and it definitely made us miss Minnesota.
