Heather: Defined

  As you read this, listen to the YouTube soundtrack of Little Women, as it will take you to that place of old and  bring back memories of your own. E very time I watch “Little Women”, it brings back my fondest memories of my sisters and mom. My mom, sister (Kristen), and I made a special trip to Portland to see this movie in December of 1994.  I remember it being a cold day as we walked into the warm, huge, and packed theater.  The sense of warmth of the theater, and  all the people made me know that this was going to be a special movie.  And must I say, that was the most comfortable theater chair I ever sat in! Once those opening credits started, I started having goosebumps just from the beautiful and powerful music!  Then being taken away to a world that I never been before, for I had never read the book.    W e laughed… and cried… …and was quite frustrated that Laurie and Jo never married!  Come one!  Oh well! ...

OH how much she loved that! I became her best friend after that! :P Below you will see one of many pics I took of her. She wanted to make sure I got tons of those! :P After church, Tori, Jon and I, went to go see Wall E. What a cute movie, but a bit different to the other Pixar movies. After the movie, my sister brought the rest of the kids to a Ice Cream Shop to enjoy some ice cream on a hot day! You would think the kids were the messy one's when eating Ice Cream....well, it ended up that Kristen and I made the biggest mess with our Ice Cream! The next day, I had to work, but my sister and some of the kids came to v...
