Tale As Old As Time

Okay...it's no secret, I love Beauty in Beast. In fact I can remember the Christmas the movie came out my sisters and I received a Karaoke machine and I got a Beauty and the Beast book and I would read the book into the microphone over and over and over again.I had a Beauty and the Beast room when I was in 5th grade, my grandmother even needle pointed (if that's how you say it) me a rose just like the one in the movie to put up in my room. It was almost sickening how much I loved this movie.

Well, this weekend I got the opportunity to see Beauty and the Beast Live at Har-Ber High School. Several of our Youth students were involved in the production somehow, so I didn't even feel bad about seeing it twice. Everyone did a fantastic job! I loved it!

The best part about it all was that I got to share my love of Belle and her Beast with Olivia. She has never seen the movie, and I think she has fallen in love! I asked her what favorite part was and she said, "All of them!". Me too, Livi. Me too.

Heart Walk Twenty Ten

This year in honor of dad's awesome success after his diagnosis of Congestive Heart Failure, we decided to do the Heart Walk as a family. Well, as it turns out we ended up having 21 people on our "Second Chances" team! It was my first time to do the walk and it was basically just a big party to celebrate survivors of heart disease and remember those who have lost their battles! It was a fun morning and I hope this becomes a family event for many years to come!
