Rethinking My Top Ten!

Okay, I knew this would happen.  I knew that I would post my top ten movies and then realize that I left a movie off that I like better. Do I or don't I?  So, after reviewing some of your comments, I need to make some changes! Ha!  I don't think I'm cut out for top ten lists! For now, I want to nix Hope Floats and replace it with White Christmas. Thanks for the reminder, Amy!  How could I leave off that great flick? Especially after all of the references I make to it!  My mom reminded me of all the great sports flicks-- Remember the Titans, Rudy, Hoosiers...those are all great!  Maybe I should get rid of one of my Brat Pack flicks and replace it with one of those.  I guess I should have made a specific genre top ten.  Needless to say, I'm rethinking the whole top ten thingy.  We shall see.

For the record, here's my choices and the explanation of them...

1.  Breakfast Club -- I can pretty much recite every word in this movie.  I love the quirky characters and their connection to one another.
2.  Sixteen Candles -- What can I say, I heart Jake!  LOVE the story line in this movie!  Plus, John and Joan make an appearance in this film.  Love me some Cusacks!
3.  Meet the Parents -- Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson together...makes for a great flick!
4.  50 First Dates -- I had to have an Adam Sandler movie on my list and this one is my favorite of his films.  Rob Schneider, in this movie, cracks me up, too!
5.  Hope Floats White Christmas  --  "Snow, snow, snow!"  Gotta have a musical on my lists!  I feel as if I betrayed Bing for forgetting it.  So sorry!
6.  If Lucy Fell -- another Ben Stiller greats!  The one liners in this movie absolutely make it!
7.  Say Anything -- CUSACKS!  Also, one of my favorite songs eva..."In Your Eyes!"  Should I do a Top Ten Song list?  I think not!
8.  Can't Buy Me Love -- Before McDreamy he was McDorky and I loved him.  I'm a sucker for the underdog that gets a makeover.
9.  Urban Cowboy  -- I know many of you don't get this one.  I like John Travolta's character. Gotta love a cowboy that knows his way around the dance floor!  The music in this film is great, too!
10.  Steel Magnolias --Who doesn't love Weezer? I'm usually not a fan of sad movies, but this one ends happy.  Doesn't it?  It depends on the mood I'm in when I watch it.

That's it for now...If I don't make a list next week you'll know why. Wait, what about While You were Sleeping?  Forget it!

Top Ten Tuesday

I think I am going to try a new series of posts to be published each Tuesday.  We shall see if this is a fleeting thought or if it is something I can keep up with on a weekly basis.  So here goes...my first, and hopefully not my last, Top Ten Tuesday post.

My Top Ten Favorite Movies (in no particular order):

1. The Breakfast Club
2. Sixteen Candles
3. Meet the Parents
4. 50 First Dates
5. Hope Floats
6. If Lucy Fell
7. Say Anything
8. Can't Buy Me Love
9. Urban Cowboy
10. Steel Magnolias

So there you have it...I dare you to list your top ten, "I DARE YOU!" (If Lucy Fell)

Labor Day Weekend

The girls and I traveled down to Jacksonville to spend the weekend with Graham. 

 A family in our church graciously offered their little cabin for Graham to live in for the time being.  It has been such a blessing.  That is where we have been hanging out this weekend.

It has been so nice to be together as a family on this Labor Day Weekend.  I can't wait until we are down here permanently.

Graham's Office Transformation

This weekend, I headed down to Texas to help Graham with his office.  I'm sure many of you remember that our previous church building burned several months ago.  Graham lost all of his books, seminary stuff, diplomas, personal items, office stuff, etc.  Fortunately, our new church has blessed him with Logos Bible Software which is making his sermon prep and studies a lot easier.  If you don't know anything about Logos, it is absolutely incredible.  Graham has dreamed of having it for years!  It basically eliminates the need for books--just about any and every resource imaginable is at the click of a button.  Since Graham no longer has any books, Logos has been FABULOUS!  Plus, the other pastor, who is moving to Latin America soon, is leaving his library for Graham to use.  How awesome is that?

I got the job of fixing up his office. Do you think I'm complaining? I got to Jacksonville on Friday and started scoping out the place.  It was basically a blank canvas.   

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I painted one wall a smokey blue gray...stressed me out just a bit because it was more blue than gray. Color swatches just tick me off!  I stressed and stressed over the color choice.  In the end, I'm happy with it. 

He is still waiting on his seminary diploma to arrive.  It looks pretty rough after the fire got to it.

I stocked him up on knick knacks, pictures of all of us, and other things to collect dust!

Graham loves it, and I loved decorating it!

We have a lot of changes taking place in our little world.  There is so much going on and life has been such a whirlwind lately.  We will be moving to Texas very soon.  More on all of that later...

Tat and Gaga's

We have been back on the road again--traveling to and from Texas.  We stopped in Conway for a couple of days and then it was off to my mom and dad's.
