the climb

I'm a huge Disney fan. (If you didn't know this by now then I don't think you know me.) I love Hannah Montana. Yes, I said it. I love a show about some sixteen year old girl who is leading a double life: one as a pop star and the other as a normal teen.

On April 10th the Hannah Montana movie is coming out. It's going to be bittersweet. Sweet because I love HM. Bitter because I know deep down it will be the end of Hannah Montana.

I love the song that has been released on the radio. "The Climb". It's amazing. You tube it. I Tunes it. Steal it illegally off of Limewire Do anything it just so you can hear it. (Kidding, don't Limewire it. That's illegal and I don't want to get in trouble for promoting it. It's baaaad.) :-)

Anyways, it's a really inspirational song and the music video is also really good. Check it out!


There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always gonna want to make it move.
Always gonna be an uphill battle,
sometimes I'm going to have to lose.
It aint about how fast I get there,
aint about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb!

Yay Miley!

Reception Center!

We chose our reception venue!! Highland Gardens! It's just south of Lone Peak High School in Highland UT. My mom suggested it last Monday and I was a little confused because growing up this place had just been a flower nursery. But I went with my mom to look at it and I fell in love! It's gorgeous! There are inside gardens with streams running through them - so you have the sound of running water! The ceiling can either be closed or open - depending on if it's raining outside or not. It's absolutely 100% perfect!!

If you want to look at the pictures just go to - www.hgardens.com - and click on 'photo gallery'! The pictures are definitely worth looking at :-)

About the Dress

When you start planning a wedding the first thing that you think of is finding the perfect dress. For me this wasn't that hard. I've always had an idea in my mind of what I wanted and thankfully I found it!! :-) My friend, Sarah, works at Alysse's Bridal and so I went in there to look one day and she so graciously started pulling out almost every dress in the store for me to try on!! The one I ended up buying I had seen on the mannequin and I didn't like it there but I loooved it on!! Dress problem solved.

When I bought my dress I had: Devin, my mom, my sister, dad, brother, little sister and other little sister there for a 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7th opinion! (Plus Sarah who was helping me in and out of each of them :) ) So I'm hoping that my dress will be all I hoped for and more :-)

Apparently, these girls below didn't have anyone with any type of fashion sense accompany them when they bought their dresses. Poor poor brides.

I don't think she has enough of a train. What do you think??

I'm not a huge fan of Gilmore Girls though I've seen it a couple times. But when i have seen it Loralie, pictured above, has always seemed to have pretty good fashion sense. Why couldn't that have followed her onto her wedding day? The roses on the chest need to go!

Apparently this is 'haute couture'. Hopefully no one actually wears it. Except for maybe a nun, on her wedding day.

Bahahhahaha. Save it for the wedding night lady.

Hm. I'm sure she has a great personality.

Okay, some people like this style, all the bunching etc. But I can't stand it. Plus the model looks like an overly tan, peroxide head evil minion with world domination on her mind.

Bahahhahahahahahahahahaha.

Devin and I at a Jazz game. I think this was the Celtics game. Who knows. :-)

A Confession

I'm addicted to blogging. I admit it. Where this addiction comes from I will never know.

Anyways, I just wanted to let you all know about two new blogs that you MUST read!!!

The first is a blog that I am co-writing with my friend Taren:

www.advicealamore.blogspot.com

Yes, it's a love advice blog. Given only by the best :-)

Next is my new blog.

No worries I am keeping this blog too. I know you were worried.

He's Just Not That Into You

I was excited for this movie. The trailers made it look hilarious! Granted, there were some pretty funny parts, i.e. Gigi's horrible phone message to Connor, but it really didn't end up being what I had hoped. 

This film stars: Jennifer Anniston, Ben Affleck, Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Long, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Connelly, Drew Barrymore and the ever slutty Scarlett Johansen. Yes I said ever slutty... I'm obviously not a Scarlett Johansen fan :-)

Each of these characters have different relationship dramas that they are navigating through:

Jennifer Anistons', Beth, and Ben Afflecks, Neil, have been in a relationship for 7 years and Neil has yet to propose. He loathes the idea of marriage and this, alas, drives Beth away after 7 years of patiently waiting. 

Ben and Janine (Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Connelly) have been 'happyly' married since college and are building a new home together when, lo' and behold, Scarlett Johansen (Anna) shows up on the scene and seduces Ben. Now I know it takes two people to have an affair and I may be being a little biased when I call Anna a slut but, come on, she is! She strips down naked in front of Ben and jumps in the pool, even though he has told her multiple times that he is married. I guess Ben shouldn't have been in that situation anyways... So it's both of their darn faults. (Yes, darn faults.)

Drew Barrymore's plot line was a little weird and not really noteworthy. She has horrible luck finding a guy online and then finally meets one at a cafe. The end. 

My favorite plot line of the whole movie, and the plot line that saved the show, was Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Long, or Gigi and Alex. Gigi is the typical crazy girl who waits by her phone 24/7 when she is hoping that a guy that she went on a date with it calling. She is so clueless when it comes to the dating world it's hilarious. Alex, on the other hand, knows everything about the dating world and loathes it more than anything. During a chance meeting at a bar that Alex owns they meet and Alex becomes Gigi's go-to-guy when it comes to dating advice! You can only imagine how this turns out :-)

On the whole the movie was... ok. It was definitely too long and could have lost some of the storylines and been fine (*cough* Scarlett Johnansen and Drew Barrymore *cough*). But I feel that the other storylines made it worth watching: once. 

My rating: 2.5 HsM's out of 5 HsM's

* My rating scale is 1-5 High School Musicals. 1 being on the same level with Twilight and 5 being on the same level as High School Musical 3!
