Blog Challenge Day 2:

Day 2: A Favorite Movie

This is almost as hard as picking a favorite song. I have so many movies that I absolutely love. But there a couple of movies that I can watch over and over, and they'll never get old.

1. Some Kind of Wonderful

My mom gets the blame for this movie. This movie was made in the 1989, and my mom had loved it ever since. I watched it for the first time a couple of years ago and loved it. Now, I consider it one of my favorite movies. Ever. It's cute love story that can be watched over and over!

2. Sweet Home Alabama

I am a sucker for any good romance movie. This is one of the cutest love stories ever. Yet another movie that gets watched around our house quite often.

3. A Walk to Remember

Aw. A Walk To Remember. Can you tell that I' a sucker for a love story? A tale of unexpected love. *sigh* Where was I again?

4. National Treasure 1&2

These movies are so easy to love. A mix of action, romance, and comedy. What more could people ask for? I hope they're making more!

I can't promise that I'll be able to do it every day, I find it very hard to sign in every day and actually post but I will definitely try my best! :D

Major Events in 2010

MAJOR EVENTS IN 2010

I had a lot of things happen this year that I just had to blog about in review. Most of the major events were meeting friends this year. :)

1. First off, I met one of my best friends Ali when we were down in Florida. It was so cool to hang out with her in Disney World and get to know her better while I was there.

Picture of Ali and me :)

Wearing funny hats:

2. Second, in July, I went to New York to spend a week with Natalie. I had a great time and it was awesome to see her again. This was the third time I had met her. I had spent the night there in June 2009, then she came down here in November of 2009.

This is a picture of Natalie, Sam and me from July:

3. In September Mom, Mimi, Gracie, Ian and I went to Williamsburg for a week. While there, I randomly heard from Bethany, a friend I knew through blogging, saying she wanted to meet up with me. So we did. :)

4. Soon after I got home from VA, my friend Sky invited me to come visit her! So in November I made my way across the USA, to the west. :) CO was an experience, especially since it was my first time on an airplane.

5. When I was down in North Carolina, friends from SC came up to see me. :)
*i don't remember what we were laughing at. :P
Left to right: Brenda, Matthew, me and Ginny.

Bible in 90 Days

Starting January 3rd, 2010, I am participating in reading through the Bible in 90 Days with Mom's Toolbox. I have done this once before - although I have read through the entire Bible twice so far and can't wait to do it again.

I really enjoyed doing the Bible in 90 Days Challenge so this time I am helping to mentor a group of people who are doing the Bible in 90 Days for the first time.

I am hoping to check back in here on my blog and let my readers know how I am doing with this challenge. Last time, I didn't blog about it, so this time I am going to try my best to tell you all how I am doing.

It'll also give me something to blog about and you all know I need something to write about, huh? I can't seem to be consistent about my posting so hopefully this will help to get me blogging again.

My Favorite Recipe!

Sheesh, it has been a while since I've written, but today as I was making pizza, I decided that I was going to post my pizza crust recipe. I took this from a recipe I got off a website, but changed it to be my own.

Ingredients:

3 Cups of Flour

2/3 Cup of Sugar

1 yeast packet (or 3 tsp. yeast)

1 tsp. salt

1 Cup milk

1/2 cup water

Mix all dry ingredients together.

Heat milk and water in microwave, until scolded.
Mix milk and water into dry ingredients.
Add more flour, until the dough is no longer sticky.

Set dough aside.
Cover with a tee-towel.

Let stand for twenty minutes.

Prepare two round pans, or two rectangular pans by spraying them with cooking spray.
After 20 minutes, take the dough out of the large mixing bowl.

Split the dough into two equal sections.

Roll dough out with rolling pin.

Put sauce on pizza. We are Ragu fans! :P

Cheese....

And any other ingredients you might want! :P We enjoy pepperoni.

Cook pizza at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
Finished product:

And most importantly, enjoy your pizza!!!!
