The Freedom Writers...

So its been a long time since I've watched a movie and been truely inspired. I love when a person is overwhelmed with passion for something. Nothing seems to move me more. Tonight I watched Freedom Writers and found myself wanting and yearning for Mrs. G's passion. I don't know if its because I was a teacher for 4 years or if I just want to believe in "something" so much. I'm grateful for people that make good, clean movies first of all; and also for people that remind me to live with passion and inspire me to find what I'm meant to do. It's truly amazing what one person can do.

Mom's Birthday Boy

Jackson's first birthday party was a huge success. He loved every minute, especially the part where he got tons of presents. He was a little overwhelmed by all the people, and stuff to play with, but it was a lot of fun. It was such a mom moment to see him so excited. I had fun with his little basketball cake too. We gave him a small basketball hoop (dad's request) and so we made it a basketball themed party.
