Simon Baker



So I have a list of my top 20 hottest men and one of them happens to be the adorable Aussie Simon Baker. He is too cute! Some of you might not know who he is. A couple movies he was in were The Devil Wears Prada and Something New. His newest show he is in called The Mentalist. I have been watching the show and I love it. It is a crime show where he plays a psychic helping out a team of investigators. He is pretty funny on this show too. I first discovered him in the movie Something New. It is such a good movie. Its about a guy who falls in love with a black woman and she is so scared to fall in love with him because he is white and her friends are so against it. The movie has a very strong message and everyone should see it. Check him out on his new show. He is just too cute!

St.George













We had such a fun weekend in St. George. My dad ran the marathon on Saturday, so we were lucky enough to go down and watch. I have always been proud of my dad but I don't ever think I have ever been so proud of him until Saturday. Seeing him cross that finish line was something that you cant understand until you see it. We stood in the pouring rain for over an hour waiting for him to finish and it was worth every second. He finished in 4 hours and 30 minutes and it rained the entire time. The wind was blowing so strong also. I could never in a million years imagine running a marathon in those conditions. He also said some people had to be treated for hypothermia.....NO THANKS. I am so proud of my dad! We saw some interesting things while we waited for him. We saw a couple cross the finish line and the guy got on his knee and proposed to his girlfriend! Its true! I couldn't believe it. Grandparents and Parents would have their children and grandchildren wait for them right before the finish line and run with them or carry them to the finish line. We saw grown men cross the finish line in tears and fall into the arms of the service men and women. It was pretty emotional. The second I saw my dad in the distance he had tears in his eyes and I immediately got all teary as well. It is such an inspiring thing to witness. I would recommend it to anyone. I cant wait for him to run another one and get to see it again. He keeps on trying to get me to run one with him. I wish I was a runner and could train to run one. It just seems so impossible to me. Maybe one day......We can all dream right???

So you think you can dance







Last week I was lucky enough to go to the so you think you can dance tour. I went with Tay and Melissa and Susie and her friend. All my favorite dancers were there and they did all my favorite dances. From bleeding love to the door dance they were all amazing. They performed for a solid 3 hours. I had so much fun! Here are some videos and pics.

Off to D.C. he goes...




Most of you already know but last week Bret moved to Washington D.C. He got offered a great job out there and decided to take it. Being the selfish person that I am, I was sooooo sad and confused by his decision to leave. Once I got over it I fully understand why he left. I would of left too if I got offered the job he did and especially to get to move to D.C. It took him 3 days and he finally made it there. He is living in a 450 sq. ft. apartment in the city. I couldn't do it!! I miss him so much already and he hasn't even been gone a week. Pathetic.......He is a big boy and I know he will be fine in D.C. I cant wait to go out there either next month or in November. I have never been there before and I am excited to go. Bret has been a good friend to me for a long time and I am gonna miss him. I know he is just a phone call away but it will be hard to get used to him being gone. He is my best freind its hard to watch him leave but I know it will be a great move for him.

Charise

About a year ago I hear Charise perform on Ellen. This 16 year old girl is from the Phillipines and she is AMAZING. I have since seen her twice on Oprah. This girl makes me cry every time I listen to her sing. You would never imagine when you see her that a voice like this would come out of her. Check her out!

Alicia Keys




So i had the best day of my life up to this point on Tuesday the 18th of September. I went to go see my favorite girl ever Alicia Keys.....She is probably one of the most if not the most talented woman I have ever seen. Her voice is pure perfection. I cried at least 3 or 4 times. The words to some of her songs i swear were written for me....And maybe every other girl out there. There is so much meaning behind her music and she shows it in the way that she sings. Our seats were perfect. I would of payed triple what I payed to see her. SO worth the money....Gosh I love her. My friend Onree Gill is her musical director and also plays the keyboard for her. We were lucky enough to spend 30 minutes with him before the show.....We were supposed to go dinner with him before the show but you know girls, we took forever to get ready! It was great to see him though. Go buy her newest album if you don't have it....it is her best one yet! Please watch these videos and see what I am talking about. She is brilliant....I apologize for our off key singing. I tried to get you on camera Onree but i couldn't keep my eyes off Alicia! They are kinda long but they are worth it.
