true grit



Okay... so I went and saw the new True Grit. I thought it was a great movie- great action, looks more realistic than the original for sure! But as far as who plays the best Rooster Cogburn, its definitely John Wayne! I'm a huge John Wayne fan though, so I might be a bit biased. It is a little known fact about me that I love western movies. My favorite westerns always have John Wayne in them. How can you not love The Duke? I mean, he is gruff, manly, strong, and yet in most of his movies can also have a tender heart.

Have any of you seen the new True Grit? How did you think its compares to the original?

a must see, for sure...




On Tuesday night I went with some girls from Community Group to go see Julie and Julia. LOVED IT! If you enjoy cooking, or even if you just enjoy the idea of cooking you will love this movie. **Warning there are two parts where I can remember being shocked by the swearing/vulgarity. So I was disappointed about that, but if they just took out those two parts, it would be fine.** Just thought I'd put that lil disclaimer in there. hehe!

Anyway, so I've been rather absent from the blog lately. I'm truly sorry. Life gets busy, ya know man? I've been busy rehearsing songs to sing at a wedding in the bay area, taking senior photos/editing them as well. Also tried a new recipe... yet another from the amazingly talented Pioneer Woman. The hubs and I had gone to a restaurant in the bay area called "Strizzies" and they had a wonderful pasta primavera dish, so when we returned home I had my heart set on finding a good recipe for it. Anyway, of course PW would have it on her site, so I tried it and WOWZA! It is a lovely creamy vegetable heaven in your mouth! Here is the link; http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/08/pioneer_womans_/
OH, and P.S. I used whole wheat noodles instead- because that what I always use when making a pasta dish. Not that it really makes cream sauce any healthier. haha! But I mean, COME ON... sometimes you gotta live a little, and have a cream sauce!

OK, well... thanks for reading my rambled thoughts. I'm hoping in the next few days to post some pics from the senior photo shoot. So keep checking back. Hugs to all!
