My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3

Hey Everyone, Happy October! 

I recently saw the movie my Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, It is a good movie. I really enjoyed it, It stars all the same cast from the original movies and a few new people added this time in the movie. 

The story continues with the Dad Gus passing away and also Toula's husbands dad Ian also passed away and this all happened a year ago, the feeling of the passing of the father's is still fresh and raw.

They are all moving along in their own way, the Mom Maria is suffering from the early stages of Dementia,she is being cared for by her daughter Athena and Athena's husband Yianni also her brother Nick who has moved back into the childhood family home, and he is recently separated and has moved back to the ways he used to act. 

Toula who we all know she is still happily married to her husband Ian, who's recently retired from teaching and their daughter Paris is having some troubles in college which you will find out about when you watch the movie,she is away from her family for the first time.

 Toula received an Invitation from the mayor of Vrisi, her dads village where he grew up, Toula and her family are headed off to Greece for a reunion.

 Aunt Voula sets up a reunion with Aristotle as her assistant for the trip, Paris and Aristotle had a brief relationship in college and will not tell anyone until they are ready.  Toula wants to fulfill her father's dying wish he wants her to give his childhood journal to his friends that he grew up his three childhood friends. 

They make it to Greece and meet the Mayor Victory, she is a distant relative of theirs she leads them on their way to Athens, while they are on their way to Athens they see some sight spots and they have a ceremonial swim when they make it to their homeland. 

When they arrive to their destination they find it empty and not lively, they eventually find the house their father lived in as a little boy, they are unsure about the house but decided to go with it and the make the best of the situation with living like their father did. 

The next morning they meet someone named Alexandra their father's old flame, which she reveals to them and they also find out from Victory that there isn't a family reunion.

 Victory is hoping if they invite enough people they will come and bring in business for the village the Portokalos family is the first to arrive, It is also revealed Victory is only the mayor because there are very few people left in the village and no one else wanted the job.  

The next day they try to get use to their new surroundings and Toula goes on a search for her father's friends none of the people she talks to seem to remember who the friends are. 

They give her a lot of shots of a drink and it makes her tipsy, she remembers a man watching her. Paris is brushing off Aristoles pursuit of her she is hiding a secret of her own. Nick plays a prank on Ian which you will see when you watch the movie, Nick is looking for a tree in the village and Ian goes to the beach and he befriends a Monk and he tells him all about the village and people.  

That night they have dinner all together and they meet Peter, the man Toula saw watching her his mom Alexandra reveals he is her illegitimate son with Gus who she never told him about he is Nick's and Toula's half brother. 

They also meet Christos Peter's Son and Quasar Alexandra's assistant originally from Syria, they and Paris all to go a club after dinner and reveal to them they are in a relationship together and intend to marry each other and plan for their future together.  

The rest of the movie is very lively and entertaining and has a funny twists and turns that go along in the movie when you watch it is a happy and loving ending. 

It will leave your heart filled with joy and laughter and keep you smiling.  The cast does an outstanding job in the movie, the scenery is absolutely amazing and beautiful.  

When you watch the movie you will feel like you are part of the story and probably feel like you can relate to the characters in a way. 

I decided to write about this movie because it is one of my favorite movies, and because it reminds me of my big family, and how everyone is always together laughing and smiling, having a good time with one another, and everyone cooking together. 

My family is very protective over me they all have their own way of protecting me and caring for me. My family loves how I keep everyone connected and talking with one another because they then get to talk with one another, if it is not face to face at least it can be over the telephone.

 My family knows how much I love and care for them, I send my family messages almost every day because I want them to know much I love and care for them and how blessed I am to have them in my life.  I think I am like the character Toula in the movie, she does everything for her family, she has a big loving heart like me, I would also do anything for my family just like she does. 

 I did zoom birthday parties for my family each month to celebrate their birthdays during Covid It was a lot of fun, family members got to see other family members we haven't seen or they haven't seen in a while, there was a lot of joy in my families faces and they all loved it that made me very happy to see them happy!

 

I love how the movie explains how much love is in the family and how they are always there for each other and can always count on one another.

I recommend this movie to anyone who loves big happy family families and wants to laugh and smile! It is a wonderful Movie!

My Big Fat Greek wedding 2

 Hey Everyone! I hope you all are doing well, I have decided to write a blog on the movie my big fat greek wedding two.

 It stars Nia Vandals and John Corbett It is a good movie It starts off with Toula and how she is doing in her life, her travel agency and the family dry cleaners have closed due to a recession.

 The only business that is still open is the family restaurant  that her father Gus,still runs, Her husband Ian is the principal at their daughters school who is named Paris.

 Paris is applying to different colleges and she is feeling pressure and smothered by her family because they all have opinions in the colleges she wants to   go to and they constantly interfere in her life, despite her independence and privacy she applies to school across the country. 

Her moms and dads marriage has become strained because her grandparents always wants her mom for different reasons, and her mom also wants to be involved in her life, she wants to fix every problem that goes wrong in her family.  

Tuloa''s dad Gus has convinced himself that he is related to Alexander the Great, he wants to do something on an Ancestry website for confirmation while he was looking through his records for information guess what he finds?

 He finds out he and his wife Maria aren't legally married their marriage certificate was never signed by the priest,technically invading their union, he asked his new priest to sign it the new priest  told him he isn't allowed to he is willing to do a marriage ceremony.

Gus and Maria have been together 50 years he insists on getting married again after that much amount of time together, Gus didn't propose properly before they got married,she wants to be proposed to properly now and Gus refuses to propose properly and that made maria mad, she refuses to go through with the ceremony in the mean time Toula and Ian are out on a date to rekindle their romance, when they get back from their date they make out in the car and her family catches them they are very embarrassed.

Her dad ends up in the hospital and before he is loaded into the ambulance he asks Maria if she will please marry him she accepts and the wedding planning begins,Maria has never had an official wedding before she hires   a wedding planner who quits after the family becomes too much for him. 

 The whole family pitches in the wedding including Ian's parents. You will have to watch the movie to see what else happens, I can tell you the wedding is beautiful and happy, and has a few funny scenes that happen before the wedding happens and a couple dramatic scenes. 

I can tell you it will put a smile on your face and leave you with a smile in your heart too! It always makes me laugh! The third movie just came out which I am really excited to see, I will tell you about that one when I see it which is this Friday!

My favorite scene from the movie is when Paris is looking at different colleges, and she doesn't know her family is there yet until she hears them, and all her family is telling the person to accept Paris and that they will love her, and that she is an excellent Student and does very well in school!

 They bribe him with different things to accept her in their school and tell him what they will do if they don't accept her, it is a whole thing it will make you laugh!  I wrote a blog on the first My Big Fat Greek wedding also, if you haven't yet check that one out too!

  

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to have a good laugh !

Respect-Jennifer Hudson

Hey Everyone! It's September Whoo-Hoo! It is J-Hud's birthday soon September 12th! I have been a fan of hers since I was seven years old ever since I saw her on American Idol. 

 I have been following her. She is an outstanding woman, Incredible singer and Actress. I have decided to write about the movie Respect starring Jennifer Hudson, Marlon Wayans, Forest Whitaker, Mary J Blige, Audra McDonald,Skye Dakota Turner, Hailey Kilgore,Sayon Sengbloh.  

It is the movie based off of Mrs.Aretha Franklin, She was an Incredible woman and Person, she lived an amazing life she loved her family, her friends and her grandchildren, she also loved to sing you could hear how much she loved to sing in her voice the way she would project when she would sing her songs, and do different shows and other outings. 

With everything that she went through in her life, she never gave up she still kept her faith in God and kept the faith within herself and came out a strong and wonderful lady she didn't let anything keep her down. 

She wanted to make a movie about herself telling her life story, she wanted everyone to see what her life was like and all the things that she went through as a child and young adult, she was looking for someone to play her, she wanted it to be someone good and strong, that could portray her in the movie how she would want to be portrayed and looked like, and someone that had a strong and incredible singing voice like her's Is. 

 One evening she had a concert tribute and different celebrities honored her by singing a few of her songs, Miss. J-Hud was at the tribute concert and the concert was like her audition for the role of playing Aretha in the movie.

Aretha was really enjoying and loving J-Hud's performances of her songs that she has done in her lifetime. After J-Hud finished her section of the performance Aretha nodded her head in approval and J-Hud knew from then on that she would be playing Mrs.Aretha Franklin. I believe Aretha said she knew she made the right choice when she chose J-Hud to portray her in the movie because she knew that she would make her proud and do her justice. Aretha only wanted J-Hud to play her.

Aretha loved J-Hud and J-Hud loved Aretha they have supported and encouraged each other the whole time they have known each other and were blessed to be in each other's lives. I believe if Aretha was alive she would be so proud of Jennifer and say Amazing Job I am very proud of you and give her a big smile and hug!

The Movie Respect Starts out with Aretha as a little girl, her family is having a party at her house, and Aretha is getting ready for bed,  she is ten years old, she lives with her father who is a pastor of Detroit's largest Baptist church, she also has siblings named Cecil, Erma and Carolyn. 

Aretha's father loved to hear her sing and would often have her sing for the parties at their home to entertain the guests, her mother and father were separated she liked Aretha to have her independence.

 A little incident happens with Aretha and a family friend while Aretha is dealing with that situation she has another one come along the unfortunate death of her mother Barbara passing away traumatizes her and she is silent for weeks it frustrates her father to the point of he demands her to sing at church. 

Later we see her as a young adult and as a mother of two teen boys she doesn't want to say who their daddy is, she is touring as a gospel singer with Dr.Martin Luther King Jr,  Later she meets a local producer named Teddy White her dad has a feeling about him and warns him to stay away from Aretha.

 Her dad surprises her with a meeting at Columbia Records with an executive named John Hammond. She accepts the contract to Jazz record Standards,Including Ac-Cent-Tchu-ate the positive. 

 She has produced four albums so far, she doesn't have a signature hit yet, she is singing at a club she wants to honor a family friend named Dinah Washington by singing one of her songs she is furious she gives advice to Aretha telling her to sing songs that move her.

 She is having a hard time with the influence of her dad being on her all the time, She begins a relationship with Ted White when they are really serious she brings him home to meet her family it causes a ruckus and her dad almost shoots him.

Aretha announces to her dad and her sisters that Ted is her manager, that makes her dad very upset and disappointed you will see what happens in the movie when he finds out about Ted being her manager!  A couple of years go by they are married and they have a cute little child.

Aretha is making and selling albums she has 9 albums out now isn't that something? Unfortunately with having 9 albums out she isn't very successful I know it's a bummer, the record company that she was with Columbia drops her.

 Her Husband Ted makes a deal with a veteran producer named Jerry Weller of Atlantic Records he introduces her to a group of white musicians in Muscle Shoals in 1967, Aretha records a song called I never loved a Man the Way I love you! 

Shortly after that things take a turn for the worse with Ted and her, he is a very jealous man because of his jealousy he becomes very violent with her and hits her a lot. She goes back home to Detroit with something you won't believe a black eye I couldn't believe it.

I felt so bad for her it made me want to protect her and fight him for hurting her, You don't treat a woman like that, your supposed to treat them with respect and honor. 

He obviously didn't do that, so she leaves him for a little bit and she decides to take her career into her own hands and makes her sisters her backup singers. 

Despite what her sisters and her dad says she reunites with Ted, Aretha and Carolyn come up with an Idea they are inspired to rearrange a song by Otis Redding Respect the version they did becomes a number one single Yay! That launches Aretha to stardom by her 25th Birthday. 

She has another event in Detroit which Dr.King honors her for her support of the women's civil rights movement proclaiming February 16 Aretha Franklin Day! 

Guess what she has another signature hit the song You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman, her career is also complicated on the other hand because of Ted' s Volatile behavior. 

She has a European tour in 1968 that she is embarking on, she is confronted with a Time magazine cover story about Ted's abuse and what he has been doing to her. 

By the goodness of God and her Incredible Knowledge she finally casts him out of her life I was happy when she did that I couldn't stand seeing her hurt. 

You will the love the rest of the movie, you will see what she overcomes and goes through in her journey of life, and see all of the albums that she has successfully made and sold out to people all around the world. 

The rest of the movie is outstanding, wonderful and amazing! It will show what Aretha has overcome in her life and how strong she is! And How God was always in her corner protecting her and guiding her every step of the way!

I decided to write about this movie because I have always loved Aretha Franklin and her music it always makes me want to sing and dance!

 I love J-Hud I think that she has a beautiful singing voice it sounds so strong and bold! 

J-Hud has gone through a lot in her life too she lost a lot of family members she still has a smile on her face and joy in her heart and still pressing on in the midst of everything! She is an EGOT Winner Emmy, Grammy,Oscar, Tony. She has come a long way since American Idol Season 3. J-HUD and I also have something in common we both love the color purple it means royalty. 

Even when Simon told her that she wouldn't make it and he didn't think she was good! She proved him wrong, she did make it and won an award for her performance In Dream Girls! Simon is very proud of her and happy for her he has seen all the remarkable steps she has made in her life. 

She did an outstanding performance in Cats I love when she sings Memory in the movie it is such a heart-felt performance she puts her all into that song!

 She also does an amazing job in the Hairspray Live Movie where she plays Motor-Mouth MayBelle. She sings I don't know where I've been outstandingly. When she sang that song it gave me a warm feeling in my heart. 

She is the wonderful Host of the Jennifer Hudson Show she is doing a spectacular Job, she makes everyone smile and brightens their day! I love her theme song for her show Happy Place! It makes me happy every time I hear the song, she makes all her guests feel right at home!

My favorite scene from the movie is when she sings Respect with her sisters at the piano and then it shows her singing the song live she really gets into the song then it makes me want to sing along with her when I see that scene in the movie! 

 I also like when she sings think, she does an outstanding performance with that song as well! She really channeled Aretha and brought her to life throughout the whole movie I believe she did her proud!

 I recommend this movie to anyone who loves Aretha Franklin and J-Hud! It is a good movie that the whole family can enjoy and sing along to! 

Little

Hey everyone! Happy Friday I hope you all had a wonderful week! Today I decided to write about the movie Little It Stars Marsai Martin who plays Jordan Sanders, Regina Hall and Issa Rae. 

It is a really funny and lighthearted comedy  family movie. It starts off with Jordan Sanders she was bullied as a child, now she has become a businesswoman and a bully because of what she went through as a little girl, she runs her own tech company and treats her employees very poorly. 

A little girl comes into talk to her and offer her something, she refuses what the little girl is asking and tells her to go away, the little girl tells Jordan something about being a little kid, and then uses her magic wand to make Jordan a kid again. 

And wouldn't you know? The little girls wish that she made on Jordan comes true, she is a 13 year old teenage girl, She calls her assistant April and tells her that she has to take over her company temporarily because she is dealing with a situation. Because she is now a teenager and little she is made to go back to her school and her assistant April poses as her aunt for the amount of time that she is little. 

Jordan is introduced to her teacher at school Mr. Marshall she develops a crush on him, you will see how the crush on the teacher plays out in the movie.

 Just like when she went to school earlier before this situation happened she is again the target of bullying, Jordan makes friends with some other students at the school who are also outcasts Issac, Raina, Devon.

 In the Meantime while Jordan is trying to figure out school and make friends, April her assistant is having a hard time at the company the employees aren't paying her any attention because she doesn't have the same kind of authority that Jordan has when she is at the company with talking to her employees and telling them what to do. 

April picks Jordan up from School, the part in the movie where April picks Jordan up from School will make you laugh.

 It always makes me laugh when I see that scene in the movie it is very funny, April and Jordan leave from the school and go out to dinner they talk with each other and end up doing some bonding over their personal lives they notice that they have things in common together.

 Jordan decides to sing Mary J Blige's song I'm going down very loudly everyone in the restaurant looks at her when she is singing because they are amazed at what she sounds like. She also had a little to drink before she started singing she ends up embarrassing April with the whole situation, Never the less, despite her embarrassment April sings along with Jordan and she ends the song with you won't believe it!!  she pulls of a man's weave. 

 When you watch the movie, It will explain what happens with the company and it's clients while Jordan is Little and April taking over the company, there is a little situation that happens with Jordan and April I know that you will be happy with the end results when you see the movie, It is a happy result.

I decided to write about this movie because I really enjoyed my childhood and being little, I have a lot of fun memories with being little. One of my favorite memories is playing a lot with my toys and doing other fun activities. 

I loved playing it was my favorite thing to do, I laughed a lot as a little girl it always warmed my heart. I laugh a lot now in my young adult years too. I loved visiting my grandfather too we would laugh a lot together and play together.

One time we were going for a car ride and I was in my car seat and he was in the back of the car too, I fell asleep and then he ended up falling asleep too. 

I loved all my years in school I had a wonderful time one of my best friends taught me how to tie my shoes in the first grade I have always remembered how to tie my shoes since then, the only thing I got bullied about was the way my voice sounded and how my nose looked. I have a high speaking voice it sounds like a little girl and Like Michele the singer, We both talk over our larynx that is why my voice sounds the way it does. 

As I got older People would compliment my voice and tell me that that they love my voice and it would make them smile, God blessed me with a unique voice I believe that will be used in a exciting and fun way when there is a will there is a way! Maybe one day it will be used in Animation movies Like Walt Disney says if you can dream it you can do it ! 

Marsai Martin is a wonderful and amazing person and doing amazing and incredible things in her career, I liked her a lot in Blackish She did an outstanding job playing Diane, she really made Diane her own and brought her to life and made her like a real person that exists in the world.

 She has also been in a lot of really good movies check them out when you get a chance! Regina Hall is an incredible actress and woman as well, she is doing excellent in her career and acting in a lot of wonderful movies doing an outstanding Job! 

I recommend this movie to anyone who loves a good comedy movie and wants to have a nice laugh!

Miracles from Heaven

Hey everyone, Happy Friday! I hope you all had a wonderful week! This blog is about the movie "Miracles from Heaven" it stars Jennifer Garner, Kylie Rogers and Martin Henderson. 

This is a wonderful movie about a family who goes through a tough situation but comes out strong in the end! This family is the Beam family, their names are Christy, Kevin, Anna, Adelynn and Abby They're a loving family that lives on a farm land, raising and taking care of a lot of animals. 

The movie starts out with the Beams getting ready for church and finishing up a few things. Before leaving, the girls are playing together, discussing different topics. Their mom, Christy, tells the girls and their dad, Kevin, it is time to go to church. Kevin states "this is the good life, they have a beautiful family and life together." 

They arrive at church during praise and worship...the Pastor gives his sermon and relays a few announcements. After the sermon, the church hosted a picnic that everyone attended; it was filled with great company and conversation. During the picnic, one of the church wives is talking with Christy about the farm. She tells her the farm is doing good and if Kevin keeps receiving new animals they aren't going to have room to do more things with their farm.

After the picnic, upon arriving at home, Christy overhears Anna calling for her to hurry because something is wrong. Christy runs up to check on her, she finds Anna in the bathroom, Anna is very sick she tells her mom she wants to be better so they can attend the aquarium. Her mom tells her she will be fine and that she will sit with her for a little bit. After sitting, Christy and Kevin discuss their family, how good life is, and their happiness. They go to bed, while they're sleeping Christy hears Anna call for her because something is wrong. Anna tells her mom that her stomach is in a lot of pain, Christy calls for her husband Kevin he picks her up and takes her to the truck. They go to the hospital, the doctors inform Anna's parents that she needs to go on a dairy-free diet. 

Anna is fine for a couple days and then gets stomach pains again. The doctors examine her, informing her parents she is fine. Christy tells the doctor she is not fine! Demanding to remain in the hospital until she finds out what is wrong with Anna.

Later that day, the doctor informs Anna's parents that she has a serious medical condition and if they don't act quick she could die. They inform the doctor they'll do whatever is needed to help Anna! As the movie continues, it shows the Beam families struggles with Anna's health in the hospital. 

You will really like the outcome of the movie it will put a smile on your face.

I decided to write about this movie because it reminds me of my own personal situation. As I was preparing to start my final semester in school, I noticed I was becoming more thirsty, using the bathroom more frequently and more tired than usual. I asked my mentor if what I was experiencing was normal. She said yes, I will be fine!

One evening I was really thirsty, as I prepared something to drink, I felt in my spirit I needed to be home with my parents. I texted my mom to pick up myself and Elijah, my dog. Upon her arrival at my apartment I had no idea my life was about to change!

My mom set the appointment and my dad took me to the doctor. Before heading to the doctor I wanted to rest but my body rejected it. When my dad and I arrived at the doctors office I told her all my symptoms, she took my blood pressure and informed me my numbers were so high they weren't showing up on her screen. Immediately, I had to go to the hospital, my dad kept me alert the whole way to the hospital. The doctors examined me and found my blood sugar level were at 1500! That is a HIGH NUMBER!!! 

It is a fact that people whose blood sugar levels are that high are in high risk of being in a coma! By the Grace of God I was in my right mind, even through being in the hospital for 21 days!!! CRAZY RIGHT?! I am very thankful God saved my life, I am blessed to still be alive and with my wonderful family. They stood by my side every step of the way. It reminds me of the love Anna's parents showed her in the movie. Anna and I have many comparisons, for example, the love of her family, her illness/hospital visits, her sunken eyes and more. 

My favorite scene from the movie is when Anna is healed in a way no one can believe. It touches my heart a lot because it reminds me of how God has kept and continues to keep me through my diabetic stages. I recommend this movie to anyone who loves a good family movie. 

For more information on Diabetes contact your local physician.

Lady and the Tramp/ Happy Birthday Elijah!!!

 Hey Everyone, Happy Friday!

I hope you all are having a wonderful day, a special day is coming, my beloved dog Elijah's birthday! Elijah  is  turning thirteen years old and he is still in good health and good shape! He is the best dog ever, in celebration of his birthday I have decided to write about the movie Lady and the Tramp.  

This  movie is about a pampered and spoiled dog named Lady who's life is fabulous and amazing until a new person comes into her world and changes everything. The new person that comes into her life is a baby.

The movie starts out on Christmas Day, Darling,the woman who gets Lady, and her husband Jim Dear are giving gifts to each other. Darlings husband Jim gives her a box that resembles a hat box, she opens the box and finds a surprise inside! 

The surprise is a Cocker Spaniel,  immediately Darling  falls in love with the dog,  she says it looks like a  little lady and  that is how she receives her name. Lady is loving her new family, they love Lady too, a few months go by and a new event happens...

Darling tells her husband Jim Dear that she is expecting and they are both excited about having a baby in the house. Lady is excited too because she sees that her owners are excited, she doesn't know yet that the baby is going to change her whole life.

 Lady goes outside to tell her doggy friends about the baby. Her friends tell her that her life isn't going to be the same as it was before. All the attention that she was used to receiving is now going to the baby. She's going to get table scraps instead of regular food, and she will have to be quiet since there is going to be a baby in the house.The baby arrives and Darling shows Lady what the baby looks like Lady is excited to see the baby.  

A few months later Darling and Jim decide to go on a little trip for a few days and Lady has to stay home. 

Darling's aunt comes to watch the house and the baby. Her Aunt has two cats and later in the movie you will see the trouble they cause for Lady....

Darlings Aunt's cats were messing with the baby, Lady was trying to get them to stop, the Aunt hears Lady she attempts to put her in the doghouse. When the doghouse idea doesn't work, the aunt takes Lady to a shop where she asks if they can put a muzzle on Lady to keep her from making noise. 

Lady doesn't like the muzzle at all, she runs away from the store with the muzzle on her face. While Lady is on her adventure dog catchers are after her, they want to catch her so they can put her with the other animals they have already have Lady is able to  run away from the catchers because a dog helps her out and gets the catchers away from her. 

The dog that  helped Lady, his name is Tramp and he is a lost dog, he lives on the streets and has lived like that for a while. Tramp tells Lady his whole story, he shows her how to live on the street and the different rules while staying safe and protected on the streets Lady at first is a little nervous around him, as the movie progresses on she gets comfortable and ends up liking him.  You will see when you watch the movie, Tramp and Lady help each other out and become a family and live life together. 

This movie will make you smile, and laugh while giving you a warm feeling in your heart and spirit. You will see different surprises in the movie too! It will keep you full of joy and excitement!

My favorite scene from the movie is the spaghetti scene where Tramp takes lady to dinner and they are eating the noodles together and they both pick it up at the same time and when they are eating the noodle their noses touch together it is the cutest scene ever. I also like the scene at the end of the movie it is a happy scene that will touch your heart.

I decided to write about this movie because my dog Elijah reminds me of Tramp in some ways. For example, you will hear Tramp bark a couple of times in the movie. And my Dog Elijah loves to bark too, he has a loud and strong bark just like Tramp does. There is a scene in the movie where you will see Tramp sacrifice his life for another human being. Elijah is very brave too, he has protected me in a lot of situations. Elijah is brave in his own way, he is a very strong dog, very lovable and friendly. Tramp is very lovable and friendly too and playful just like Elijah. Tramp is also a very fast runner, Elijah runs very fast.

 I wanted to celebrate Elijah and show how much he means to me and how blessed I am to have him in my life. I have wanted a dog for as long as I can remember, I would ask for one all the time, my mom said not yet maybe soon. I would ask year after year, there was one day when we were visiting close friends and  I was watching the movie George of the Jungle; one of my favorite movies, and I was talking to my friends Grandfather about wanting a dog. He said I'll help you out and talk with your mom about getting you a dog. So my mom came in the room, he told her "Emerald tells me she wants a dog, and that she has asked you a lot for a dog; I think a dog would be good for her and that she would do a good job."

My mom said ok, I agree I will consider it, because of his help and talk to my mom he is part of why Elijah is here now!My mom really liked my neighbor's dog, she saw how friendly and kind he was; he was Elijah's brother!

I wrote  Dog letters in school,  that is another part of how I got Elijah! Elijah has been with me through the best parts and sad parts of my life. 

He's celebrated my birthdays with me and very special ages, he has been with me when I've had big events in my life too ! One time when we were all on vacation at a hotel, Elijah and I were in the hallway one of the staff members looked at Elijah and I, he said I can tell you guys really love each other.

 I think my Grandfather could tell how much I loved Elijah too, because he saw how Elijah would interact with me and the joy he brought  to my heart and face. He loves my grandparents, when my grandfather was living with me Elijah would be so happy to see him.

One time my grandfather had a doctors appointment and when he came back to the house, he opened the door and said Elijah! You wouldn't believe what Elijah did, he jumped in his lap and gave him kisses, my grandfather was just laughing and smiling! He said "Elijah!" Isn't that funny? 

 When we go to visit my Grandma he gets so excited to see her, when we arrive at her house he will sometimes sit next to her or if I'm holding him he will look at her and she will say he's smiling at me with a smile on her face! 

She loves Elijah too! She will say I know Elijah loves him some Emerald, one funny story is when my mom and dad had come to pick me up from my Grandmas from visiting with her for three weeks, Elijah was so excited to see me, when he saw me he gave me kisses and everything, my dad tried to say hello to me, here is the funny part Elijah snapped at him! 

My Grandma said "whoa! He doesn't want you to touch her", my dad told Elijah that's my daughter! My mom said that Elijah was saying I haven't seen her for three weeks this is my time Lol! Elijah is my whole heart and he is one of the best parts of my life.  I don't feel like my whole-self without him. 

I recommend this movie to anyone who loves dogs and Dog movies. If you have a dog I hope they make you feel happy and loved like my dog Elijah makes me feel every day! He spreads his love and joy all around! Everyone loves Elijah and thinks he is the cutest dog ever!

Enough

 Hey everyone! Happy August! I hope you all are having a good summer so far! I have been having a good summer. Today I have decided to write about the movie Enough starring Jennifer Lopez and Billy Campbell.  

It starts out with Jennifer Lopez at the restaurant talking to her friend Ginny, and they are serving a couple of men. 

Robbie asks Jennifer Lopez's character Slim, if she has read the book that he is reading, she says yes, he hands her  a red rose, she says thank you !  Robbie starts asking more questions, Slim starts getting uncomfortable, that is when Mitch, in a different booth, tells him to leave her alone. Robbie says ok; afterwards when you watch the movie you'll see a little incident happens.

After Robbie leaves the restaurant Mitch asks Slim for a date, and she accepts,and they later get married, they are very happy and in love. 

As their marriage progresses they look for a house, as their expecting a baby. The baby comes, and they all go to the beach,  Slim notices that Mitch isn't having as much fun as her and their daughter Gracie.

After the beach they go home and Slim checks on Gracie and sees that she is sleeping. Mitch is getting ready to go out for the evening, and Slim notices that his phone is buzzing. She answers it and a woman answers the phone, that is when Slim knows Mitch is cheating on her!

 Slim asks Mitch about the lady, and he tells her to stay out of it, unless she wants to fight. She lets it go for now, and then later she finds out that he is still cheating on her. She tries standing up for herself again and he ends up slapping her, tells her to stay out of his business and things really start taking a turn for the worse. 

Slim  tries telling Mitch's  mom about what is going on, his mom asks her what is she doing wrong?  Mitch finds out that Slim went to his mother and that made him upset  they fought again, and Slim gets hurt. The next day, Slim goes to pick up Gracie from school,  the staff  tells her that her dad picked her up. She races back home, and doesn't see her, she calls Mitch on the phone, and asks where they are he says the zoo, and that they will be back soon. 

Later that evening, Slim makes an escape plan to leave the house and takes Gracie with her, unfortunately her plan doesn't work. Mitch finds out and him and Slim gets into another fight which you will see; he knocks her out. Slim's friends come in and help her and Gracie, Mitch tells Slim that he will find them. Her friends take her to a hotel to spend the night, before they go to bed Slim gets a telephone call and it's Mitch, he tapped the phone line to find out where they were. There are lot of dramatic events that happen after this scene,  a lot of fighting scenes that will keep you on the edge of your seat. When you watch the movie, you will think what's going to happen next? 

I decided to write about this movie because Jennifer Lopez is one of my favorite actresses and she does an outstanding job in every movie that I have seen her in. This movie is very exciting and has a lot of twists and turns; the surprises will keep you alert wondering what her character is going to do or where the story is going to go. Although, it is exciting it also teaches you about standing up and  fighting for yourself self and the importance of self defense, this is very good to know in life. Sometimes when I am holding my beloved dog Elijah my dad tries to play fight me, my dog will defend me and snap at him. He is my protector, every women deserves a protector. 

One of my favorite parts of the movie is their use of karate moves. I am very good at karate myself. My mom tells me that a lot and she says I am very strong. My dad is strong too, he has very good upper body strength he does 300 pushups every day! CRAZY RIGHT?! Also my favorite scene from the movie is when Slim fights for herself and Gracie, because she knows that is the only way to get out of what she has been through. You will have to see the movie to see the end results, I'm sure you will like the ending!
