Well, anther month has come and gone. I didn't accomplish much on this list except read a book and watch a bunch of movies. However, to my defense I was sick for a week and needed some entertainment.
-Took a family photo. Actually I took it today. I didn't mean to, but it was something that was put off. And then the end of the month came and we still hadn't taken one. So I gathered everyone and did a shadow picture. We were all outside today hot and sticky and no showers....in 100 degree heat. Crazy?!?
-Have taken portrait pics. I had to have a little help with the ones from Virginia (just because I didn't want to set me camera down where people could take it while waiting for the timer to go off.) I have some really cool portraits in mind for the next few weeks--stay tuned!

Movies:
-Cimarron. I actually watched this one in May, but forgot to check it off the list.
-Cavalcade
-The Best Years of Our Lives. Definitely one of the best movies ever!
-On the Waterfront
-Ordinary People. Good movie, but the mom made me really mad.
-The Great Ziegfeld
-All Quiet on the Western Front. I can't believe this was only the 2nd oscar winning movie. To be honest, mom and I were both hesitant on watching this movie. We had put it off for weeks. But holy cow it blew both of your minds! Such a great movie and I recommend everyone should watch it. Trust me :)
-Chariots of Fire. I saw this movie when I was younger and really into running (before I got tendonitis).
-American Beauty. Strange movie. Not worth it. Makes me want to keep my windows shut at night so people can't see in.
Books:
-What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen. She is a young adult author that I read when I was in middle/high school. I have read all her books and when she came out with a new one I had to read it. It was a really good book--I read half of it in one day and was sad when it ended.
