My biggest interest is Jesus. I can read about Him, talk to Him, love Him, and worship Him, but I continue to be in awe of Him and have so much to learn about Him, His love, and His grace.
Other interests include (but are not limited to): snowboarding, long-boarding (on wheels not on water), knitting, and swing dancing (Lindy).
I like meeting people who make me laugh....unless you are creepy, then I dont want you to make me laugh.
Anything for girls. No action, violence, suspense or scary.
Pretty Woman is top hands down. I absolutely love Julia Roberts and will watch most of her movies. Not the scary ones, please. Any chick flick I love I could name them but the list would go on for days.
Great non-chick flicks:
Fight Club: This movie is genius. It is absolutely, incredibly made.
Office Space: Who can deny this movie?
Superstar: Need I say more?
Rudy: I cry everytime.
Harry Potter: the books are better, but the movies are well made
Momento: love that the movie went backwards.
Butterfly Affect: makes you think about how the decisions you make can change your future.
I dont like:
Dumb and Dumber
Jim Carey's early movies (The Mask, Ace Ventura, etc.)
The Pink Panther
Lord of The Rings (I walked out.....and I was not alone!)
The Piano, even though my mom loved it
Lonesome Dove/Dances With Wolves even though my Dad loves them
Like my mom, I read the end of a book first

Where the Wild Things Are: this is probably one of the best illustrated children's books (non-chapter) I have ever read. The illustrations are done where it follows the story leading up to a climax in the middle and then going back down to the conclusion. Pick up the book and just flip through it. It is incredible.
Oh, The places You'll Go. So inspiring.
There are soo many. I love to read- I guess that is why I was a Reading minor in college.
Books I hate:
Unfortunate Events books (when I have my own classroom-when I go back to teaching-I will not have those books in my personal library. They are horrible),
If You give A Mouse a Cookie
40 Days of Purpose
The Left Behind Series
I Kissed Dating Goodbye
Books I am currently reading:
They thought I would be prettier
Fight Like a Girl
I love everyboday and other atrocious lies
