Movie night: 27 Dresses

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.

I have been DYING to see this movie and I thought I'd hit the jackpot when it was supposed to be the movie shown on the plane to Jamaica. But apparently there were problems with the DVD (actually, I think it was a tape) so we got stuck watching something else that I was not even interested in. On the way home we got to see the Bucket List and it had a lot of funny parts and the story had a lot of meaning to it. Some bad language though...which was beeped out on the plane :)

I was actually surprised at how much I liked this one. I didn't expect to, but it was really good. Thanks for the recommendation on Nim's Island. I will put it on my list!

Ha, I agree, I thought the movie was unbelievable too, but mostly because it was about how Katherine Heigel couldn't get a guy. I just couldn't buy her in that role. But I saw it with girlfriends and it made a fun night. :-)

Eh, it was lame. Of course, I watched it on the 14 hour flight to Hong Kong, so I'm sure the environment affected my viewing experience somewhat. :)

I wondered if this one was any good...I'll have to rent it and watch when Jody and Noah are sleeping. I don't think either one would get into a chick-flick! :-)

I'm glad you liked this movie. I've been wanting to see it but hadn't heard from anyone if it was worth it or not. Now I'll have to snag it and check it out (sometime when JL is gone) :-)

So apparently Ms. Heigl is a big tv star on the show Grey's Anatomy. I have never seen the show, so I didn't realize this. Silly me. I know it's a really popular show, but I don't watch a lot on television.

It's my birthday!

Here's a cute little picture of me in kindergarten, 1968. All my life, I've never forgotten this shot below in first grade (1969) when the photog asked me to say "peaches" and he snapped the shot at the "ch" sound. If you're trying to get a kid to smile, don't tell them to say peaches. It's scarred me for life. Mom, what the heck happened to my hair? Did I fix it myself? After all, I was in second grade and very capable. My grandma crocheted that groovy vest for me, but who is responsible for the hack job on my hair? Hello, 1970! Who knows where my third grade picture is. We moved so often, changing schools, that I might have missed picture day. Next is my fourth grade mug shot. I must have sworn off bangs by then. Thank goodness for those plastic barrettes to deal with the in-between length. Notice how every year I wore green? Yeah, it's been my favorite color for as long as I can remember. I don't have an actual school pic of me in f...

The BIG REVEAL!

We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...

Our new daughter!

This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share.  We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months.  There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport.  You have no idea.  I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone.  We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate.  She's excited and nervous to go to America with us.  She can say more than 100 words in English so far.  Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig."  She says it more like pig-uh.  We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan....
