Mom and I watched 27 Dresses in our game room theater in May, and we both thought it was pretty good. Katherine Heigl was the lead actress--I don't recall seeing her in any other movie yet, and she did a decent job. It was a predictable chick flick, somewhat unbelievable, with the assumption that all bridesmaids' dresses are hideous and every bride thinks she's choosing a dress that her court will happily wear again and again, even though they never do. Come to think of it, I would never wear my bridesmaids' dresses again, so it does make a good point. The movie is worth seeing with another girlfriend, but I wouldn't recommend torturing your husband through it. I still give it a 4 out of 5, just because it's about weddings and they make me happy.
Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party , does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August? My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things. This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool! As each girl shares
