Happy Birthday, Ben

Today Ben is 14! I tried really hard to not have him on Halloween but he had ideas of his own. He was ready to start living life and he has so far, done it to the fullest. Ben likes to try everything. He isn't afraid of anything and is almost always good at what he tries. He loves all sports and plays one for every season. He is a good brother(especially to Sam) who has always been his best friend. He is a good friend to everyone and no one could ask for a more loyal friend. He is very smart and gets good grades in school. He has always been our easiest kid, even through this teenage rage stage. I'm glad he came on Halloween and I'm sorry if sometimes it is a sucky day for a birthday! I love you , Ben. Keep turning into the fine young man you are becoming!

Just One Kiss Before I Die!

This man just keeps getting better and better. Last night my aunt and I went to see Nights In Rodanthe with Richard Gere. He just takes my breath away and I get goose bumps every time he kisses a woman. I don't think anyone alive makes it look more romantic and sexy as he does. I'm not the only one who thinks that either. I heard my aunt sigh several times last night during the movie. About the movie...it was really good up until the end. I think Nicholas Sparks must be jealous of all the men he writes about because none of them seem to survive. With that said the end sucked. In this day and age when the world sucks would it really kill Hollywood to have a happy ending? I'd be okay with everyone (not just in Disney movies) living happily ever after. After all maybe it would help the world population a little bit with their attitudes.
