A Wonderful Man

I have written many entries on my brother over the last year because a lot of things have happened, but I would like to write one more before this year is over.

My brother is a great man. He is one of the few good men left in this world. He has good morals, a great sense of humor, and is just an overall wonderful man.

When he went to Basic Training for the Army, we were all so proud. My dad has been in the Army for over 20 years and we all knew that Tyler would probably follow in his footsteps in some way. It was really hard on us having him be gone for so long because we are a really close family and Tyler is definitely my best friend, but we were still so proud of him and happy for him.

Of course, we knew that there was a posibility that he would get sent overseas to Iraq or Afghanistan when he got out because they are sending everyone within a year of graduating from Basic, but we were still hoping he wouldn't have to, and dreading it if he did.

Well, to all of our dismay, he does have to go. He leaves in February for training. He will be gone from February to the end of April when he will come home for a few weeks. In May, he leaves to go to Afghanistan for nine months. Needless to say, this year is going to suck...majorly. Be forwarned that a lot of posts this year will probably be sad and depressing because my best friend will be gone overseas...I'm going to be a wreck.

Now, there are a lot of good things that are going to happen this year by my own making...I will explain that probably tomorrow or a little later tonight...but it is also going to be a bad year. He will be here for Gabriel's third birthday but he will miss my birthday, his own birthday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. :(


This is my favorite picture of us together. This was taken in October at his 24th birthday party.

The reason I felt like writing about him some more is because of something he said to me last night. My parents left this morning for West Virginia. They are spending the weekend up there with some of my dad's family for New Years and Tyler is having a party. For those of you who don't know my brother, this will not be a wild and crazy party. There will be drinking but nothing else...just a bunch of friends getting together and having fun.

Josh, Gabriel, and I are going too just to spend time with everyone. Josh is a recovering alcoholic and I don't drink, so we are just going to have some fun and we can't stay til midnight, because we have to get home and get the munchkin home and in bed before then.

Tyler told me last night that there would be alcohol there but I wouldn't have to worry because there wouldn't be any drinking until Gabriel was gone. I thought he meant that he wasn't going to drink anything until we left and that didn't surprise me because that is just the kind of person he is...No, he meant he wasn't going to allow anyone to drink until Gabriel was gone. He doesn't want any drinking around his nephew. He said if anyone didn't like it, there is the door.

I was shocked at first but not because it was out of character for him, I was just surprised....and I'm not even sure why. That is the kind of person that he is. He throws a party at his house and invites his little sister, her husband, and their 2 year old son...and then makes a rule that no one can drink until the toddler is not in the house anymore. I was touched.

What a wonderful man he is. He is going to make some woman the luckiest woman on earth because he will treat her like a queen...like a woman is supposed to be treated. He is so thoughful and sweet. And I am going to miss him like crazy.

:(

Doggie Pics

So, for those of you who have never seen my dogs, I want to post some pics after my last entry.

This is Toby, our mini boxer. She has got the cutest face in the world! Josh says she is ugly, but who on Earth can think that face is anything but adorable?!?!?!



And, of course, I had to take some pictures of Apollo because he looked so handsome and regal. I have always thought that he looked regal. He likes to prop himself up on our pillows to relax and also to sleep. I love it when he puts his head on my pillow, he looks like a really furry person haha. I will get a picture of that as soon as I can, but I usually don't have my camera when he does cute stuff and then by the time I get up to get my camera, he has moved...but I am persistant!!

Go Away, Toby!!!

I find myself saying this...A LOT! Toby is our boxer. She is almost four yet she looks like she is about 6 months old. She broke her leg when she was a few months old and it stunted her growth. We call her our mini boxer.

But she is my baby and, like me, she is very affectionate. She is a cuddler. When she sleeps, she has to be up against someone like me or Apollo (our Great Dane that is also her boyfriend...yes, what a pair they make) and it doesn't bother me but my hubby and my son don't like her being so close all the time.

She has no idea of personal space. When she comes up to you, she goes right up to your face to tell you hello. I always give her a kiss but everyone else pushes her away. When she gets in Gabriel's face, I always say, "Go away, Toby." and sometimes she listens.

Josh calls her Brown because she is fawn colored and he just can't call her by her real name. I named her Kyley when we first got her and he started calling her Toby (I have no idea why) and then she started answering to Toby instead of Kyley...so we had to start calling her Toby. Well now Josh calls her Brown..."Get down, Brown!" is what he says instead of "Go away, Toby!"

The only reason I put that as the title and started talking about this is because right as I was about to start this entry, she got into Gabriel's face and I had to say it three times before she sat down. I thought it made for an interesting title.

But, since I am talking about one of the dogs, I might as well keep going. We have an electric fence around our yard and the shock collars that go with them. Everything has been fine with them since we got them almost two years ago, but here recently Apollo has been running through the fence. He won't stay in it for anything. Which, obviously, means that I have to keep him inside for most of the day so he won't run wild around our house or up into the road and get hit. I love having him inside because he is my handsome man and he is a total mommy's boy, but it is a pain because we have to keep him separate from Leo, our cat...so Leo is stuck in the bathroom all day so Apollo can be in the house.

So while all three dogs were in the house today, we were all sitting on the bed (Apollo, Toby, Roxy, Gabriel, and myself) and I noticed that Apollo's toe nails were getting really really long. I don't know about you, but clipping a dog's nails it a bit of an adventure...so try clipping the nails of a dog that outweighs you by fifty pounds.

Ha! You should have seen me. I broke a sweat just trying to get him to sit still and had to take my jacket off. So I ended up just laying on top of him and bracing his paw down so that I could clip one nail. He would shift and I would shift with him, brace again and get one more nail. So that is how it went to get his nails clipped. He wasn't scared, he just didn't like having to sit still so I could clip his nails...I stopped after I got all of his front nails. I will save my energy and get his back legs another time.

Haha.

Sad

So, it's hard to believe that Christmas Eve is tomorrow...this year has flown by so fast. I say that every year and it's because it definitely does...and that means that this is Gabriel's third Christmas and that he will be turning 3 in May. I really can't believe that!!

Anyway, I love Christmas because it is so much fun to spend time with my family (even though I see most of them on a weekly basis) and my mom's side of the family is mostly Christian so it is very easy to remember the Reason for the Season there, but Josh's family is all about Santa and what did Santa bring the kids for Christmas and blah blah blah...

I love Christmas but I HATE what Christmas has become. I hate going out in the crowds of rude people and being pushed around just because someone wanted the thing on the shelf next to where I was standing...It's all about sales and presents and rushing and Santa and ugh! I dread Christmas Eve because the whol day is so rushed. We have to go to my family's but we can't stay there long enough to see everyone because then we have to rush over to Josh's family's...

Josh's family is wonderful, don't get me wrong, but they think I am weird and radical because of the way I am and what I do and don't do...and for how I am raising my son. We did not give him vaccinations when he was born and we will never get him any...(that is a whole other story that I won't get into because not a lot of people feel the same way that I do and I don't want to get into a debate) but we are also not telling Gabriel about Santa. We are going to tell him the real story of St. Nicholas and tell him that some people believe in him still and that a lot of kids believe he brings them presents for Christmas, but we are going to tell him about Jesus and that Christmas is his birthday...We aren't going to tell him Santa doesn't exist because I don't want him running around telling other kids that believe in him and ruining it for their parents...but we are just going to tell him the truth. That we are the ones who buy his presents and it is to symbolize the presents everyone brought to Jesus when he was born...a lot more detailed than that but, hey, he is only 2 1/2 so that's all that he needs right now.

That right there is strange in Josh's family. Josh's little cousin is 6...I think...and she is so into the whole Santa thing and I know that they are going to be asking him tomorrow, "What is Santa going to bring you for Christmas?" and I'm pretty sure he is just going to look at them like they are crazy haha or say, "Nothing." haha...but it gets so frustrating because we have to rush to leave my family so that I can be looked at like I am a crazy person.

It's sad that I dread Christmas but I just hate what it has become...

Best Buddies

I just had to share this picture!! Gabriel loves Apollo and Apollo loves Gabriel right back...You can tell by this picture just how good of a bond they share. Gabriel is watching Despicable Me even though he looks like he is sleeping haha. Apollo was sleeping, but when I started to take a few pictures, the flash woke him up.

Two of my handsome men!

Sick

I hate being sick. I don't get sick very often, so it makes it all the more miserable when I do. I have had a sore throat and a really bad cough, my voice goes in and out all day, and I have just been feeling like crap.

The upside to this past week...I took some more pictures of Gabriel for Christmas and they are so cute. This first one is just adorable. I was trying to get him to sit still and he just started laughing...but I got a great picture out of it.



Out of the rest of them, this one is my favorite. They all turned out pretty cute but I just love his facial expression in this one...

Look at my handsome little reindeer!!!

Humbled

I was all prepared to write an entry about how mad I am right now at my husband but instead I find myself humbled. I was reading over a friend's blog and she is selling purses that she makes to raise money so she can help with a friend of hers in Africa. (You can find her blog by clicking here.) What a great idea, I thought. She also posted a link of the blog of this particular friend so I decided to drop by and read a little bit. (I am now following her blog as well and you can find it by clicking here.)

As I was reading, tears filled my eyes and I was shocked by how unbelievably selfish I was being. Here I am about to ramble on and on about my husband and this girl who is only a year older than me, is spending her Thanksgiving (and her life right now) away from her loving family and in a foreign country. She is serving God by helping others in need. What am I doing to serve God? How am I showing others the love of God with my actions, and my words, and my very life?

Wow. I'm not really sure what else to say. I am humbled and amazed and shocked and I know my life is in desperate need of change...Thank you both for bringing me to my senses!!

Christmas

I love taking Christmas pictures of Gabriel to use them as presents for all the Grandparents every year. This little collage is of Gabriel's first, second, and third Christmas pictures. (I took all of them) I would love to get professional pictures done of him but we can't afford them right now so we will have to deal with my pictures. It's fun to look back and see how much he has changed.

It's a big difference but he also looks the same haha. Funny how that works. That first picture is definitely one of my favorite pictures of Gabriel. It turned out so well and I love it!!

So here are some of my favorites of the pictures I took of Gabriel this year. They turned out really well too. I bribed him with a sucker if he listened to me and did a good job. Obviously, that is the ticket because he sat down and did exactly what I wanted. The outdoor pictures were a little tougher just because it was cold and raining outside and he wasn't as cooperative but I still love the way they turned out. What do you guys think?






My little man is a cutie! Now, I know I'm a little biased haha but that's all right! :) I think the outdoor ones are my favorites :) That is my hat he is wearing because all of his warm hats are too small but I love the way it looks on him! :)

I DID IT!!!!

YAY!!! I wrote 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo in 26 days instead of 30!!! I'm awesome!!! Now, I am no where near finished and starting to edit really scares me, but I am so glad I did it and have a good start to my novel. :)

My Long Haired Loves

Now, everyone who either knows me or has been reading my blog for any amount of time, knows that I am a sucker for a man with long hair. I have decided to put together a group of my favorite long haired men just for you, my blogger buddies.

This is the man that started it all!

His hair is pulled back in a ponytail in this picture, but it was past his shoulders. This was my high school crush. I was a freshman and he was a senior and I was in love with him. He had long hair and so my obsession of men with long hair began! (for those of you who don't know who this is...just keep reading)

Next, we have Charlie Cox.

I first fell in love with him in Stardust. He looked like a goober in the beginning of the movie but when he finds out who he is and his hair gets longer...yummy!

Moving right along to Dougray Scott in Ever After.

This is one of my favorite movies and I love him! He isn't the sexiest man, but he sure is sexy in that movie with his nice long hair and adorable smile!


Brendan Fraser in George of the Jungle is our next contestant!

Yummy! I LOVE him and he is so sexy in this movie! And I love love love his hair!!

Johnny Depp...need I say more?

He is such a talented actor and so attractive but, once again, the long hair is my favorite look for him. Some guys can't pull off long hair, but he sure can.


Jake Gyllenhaal in Prince of Persia...........sorry, I was drooling.

There are mixed reviews on him as Prince Dasdan in this movie but I thought he did an amazing job. And who knew he would look so yummy with long hair? I certainly didn't but I was pleasantly surprised!!

Now, how many people out there can't say that Hugh Jackman is one of the sexiest men on the face of the earth?!?!

I LOVE Hugh Jackman. He is amazing and I love him with short hair and with long hair. (And he is like 6'4'' which is a total plus plus plus for that kind of height!) But he is a double yummy and maybe even a triple yummy. Wow!

And getting back to the first picture. I loved him my entire high school career and he was the one who gave me my love of long hair on men (as I have mentioned) but I never even talked to him in high school...I loved him from afar. As I got older and the years passed...well year passed after I graduated from high school haha I ran into him again and this time I got up the courage to go talk to him. He was actually a pretty decent guy and he still had the long hair :)

We started talking and then we started dating and then we got married. That's right. My favorite long haired man, and the one that started it all, is...

MY HUBBY!!

Bet you didn't see that one coming haha. This is my favorite picture of him. He is definitely yummy! And man enough to wear a pink shirt and actually pull it off haha. The manly tattoos sticking out of the rolled up shirt sleeves make it even better.

I know not all of you like long hair on guys, and I like short hair on guys too, but I'm such a sucker for a guy that looks good with long hair. :) This post makes me happy!

Stuck

Well, the title says it all. I'm stuck. My word count is up to 38,371 words. I have 11,629 words left to go and 8 days left to write them in...I'm very proud of myself for making it this far, but I really want to make it to 50,000 words by November 30th. Except for one little bitty problem...I'M STUCK!!!!

I just don't know how I am going to make it...I don't know what should happen next. I already know what the ending is going to be but I have no idea how I am going to get there. I thought of a twist that was going to get me a few thousands words but it didn't get me nearly what I thought it was. So now I came up with another twist and I still don't think it will get me enough words.

UGH!

I need to go back through it all to add more detail and to make everything clearer if it is confusing but I wanted to do that after I had already reached 50,000 words because that will take time and not add a lot of words. I'm sad to say that I might get so close and yet not make it this year...



On a happier note, I took a really cute picture of me and my Great Dane, Apollo. He loves his mommy!



Now, I am sitting in my Xterra with the window rolled down and he is leaning in to give me a kiss. That's just to show you how big he is...if the size of his head compared to mine didn't give you idea enough haha. Standing on his hind legs he is about 6'4'' or 6'5'' and his back comes up to my hips (I am 5'9'' and all leg so that is saying something) and he still isn't full grown. Crazy, I know. He sleeps in the bed with me and cuddles with me and climbs into my lap because he thinks he is a lap dog :) But I love this picture and I wanted to share it!

He's a handsome baby, isn't he??

All Caught Up

So, I am caught up for NaNoWriMo but now that I am writing during all of my free time, I don't have a lot of time to write a blog entry.

For the next month, I won't be writing a lot on here but I will try to write a little something every now and then.

Today, I will share a cute picture I took today.



It is so cute! They were both watching The Wild Thornberrys Movie and I love how Leo is propped up like he is sitting down next to Gabriel.

I will try to write more soon. I hope everyone is having a good day!

Behind Schedule

So I am still feeling sick and dizzy and all that awful stuff. I know that I am not getting enough sleep and that is making it worse, but I have been working on my novel every chance I get. I usually only work on it when Gabriel is asleep because then I'm not distracted. That makes it hard to write 2,000 words a day when I can only write a little bit in the morning and then however long I want to stay awake after he has gone to sleep. I got up early yesterday morning and typed for a good long while, but then I ended up staying up until after two in the morning so when I tried to wake up early this morning, it didn't work.

I'm a little behind schedule in the amount I write everyday, but I am trying to get ahead so I can relax a little bit. It isn't as easy as you might think. I have over 5,000 words but I am supposed to have 8,000 by the end of the day to be completely caught up. That isn't going to happen...unless I really get on a roll and Gabriel gets in bed early (which is definitely a possibility). My goal for the day is only 1,000ish more words but I am going to write more than that to get as close to caught up as I can before I am too tired to write anymore tonight.

I love NaNoWriMo! It is a little frustrating because I am behind, but it is so much fun to have to get everything out on paper. When I set goals for myself, it doesn't really work because I let them slip by. But this isn't just my goal. This is for the whole world. And it is nice to be a part of something like this.

Keep your fingers crossed that I can get caught up tonight!!

Yucky!

Well, this weekend has been interesting. I started feeling yucky on Sunday morning but it wasn't too bad so I really didn't think anything of it. As the day went on, I started feeling worse and worse. I sing with a praise band at my church and we have something called Fifth Sunday Sing where we have a bunch of groups get together and sing and just fellowship and worship. Sunday was the first time our band has gotten a chance to sing. We were singing two songs. This would have been all fine and dandy except for the fact that I had to run to the bathroom three times after practice and before everything started because I thought I was going to get sick.

I warned everyone in the band that I might not be able to sing because I might be in the bathroom throwing up...or if I just walked off the stage in the middle of a song, they would know why. I made it through both of our songs and felt all right but it started going downhill again fast. The closer we got to home, the worse I felt. I climbed right into bed and fell asleep. When I woke up a little while later, Josh was asleep and Gabriel was laying between us watching Spongebob. I got a little mad...I felt like crap and Josh couldn't even get Gabriel into bed just this once? So I got out of bed and put Gabriel to bed and then came back into the bedroom. I was so thirsty that I grabbed the closest thing to drink (a Diet Mountain Dew) and took a big swig...bad idea. I had to run straight into the bathroom and got sick.

I felt instantly better, like I always do after my body gets rid of whatever is messing it up in the first place, but it didn't last long. I woke up every hour Sunday night and I left the TV on all night just in case I needed to get to the bathroom in a hurry. All day yesterday I felt like crap too. Every time I got something for Gabriel to eat, the smell of it would make me feel sick to my stomach. I tried eating one of these little cracker sticks he had and I took one bite and thought I would be sick. So I just didn't eat anything all day and I didn't do anything if I didn't have to.

I was supposed to start NaNoWriMo yesterday, but I didn't feel like doing anything. Today, I have felt a little better but I have been so dizzy. I tried getting up and cleaning a little bit but I almost fell over because the room was spinning. Needless to say, I haven't gotten much cleaning done at all.

NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. Those of us who are writing novels and need a little push to get it all written out have the perfect opportunity during the month of November. The goal is to write 50,000 words on your novel from November 1st to the 30th. You don't worry about editing, you just get it all written out and go back to edit. So much for getting an early start on that. I still haven't started yet. For those of you who might be interested, check out their website.

I am hoping and praying that feeling like this goes away and it doesn't lead into anything else...

Fall Festival

My church had a Western themed Fall Festival tonight. Gabriel didn't really have any country stuff that still fit him so mom and I went to Goodwill to find some clothes...and we bought him some cowboy boots that fit him too since his other ones are a few sizes too small.

This was the end result...

Cutest little cowboy you have ever seen, huh?? He had on his cowboy boots and his little horse on a stick haha. Everyone was dressed up and they looked adorable.

Now, Gabriel has a little girlfriend at church who is about 8 months younger than him. Her name is Mackenzie and Gabriel calls her Tenzie (which I think is adorable!!...oh and she calls him Gabral). So of course I had to get a picture of the two of them all dressed up in their country outfits. I couldn't get them to stand still for a good and/or posed picture, but I did get one where they are both looking in the general direction of the camera and that is really all I can ask for.

Aren't they precious?? They chase each other around and give each other hugs all the time. Tenzie's mom Jenn and I are always introducing each other as Gabral and Tenzie's future in-laws haha.

They had horses at the church tonight and Gabriel wanted to ride them. He loves horses but I was nervous that he might be scared to actually ride it because it was so big and far off the ground. Heck no! He yelled, "WEEE!" and "YEE-HAW!!!" the entire time he was riding. I walked around with him just to be sure he didn't fall off.

I had to pry him off the horse after his turn and he started crying and screaming, "Ride it again, mama!" while we walked back into the church. He was not a happy camper for only getting one ride. I have been thinking about letting him take horseback riding lessons when he gets a little older but I wasn't sure he would want to...well, I'm pretty sure he will want to now.

I can never make up my mind!!

So I have bangs...again! I can never decide whether I want bangs or I want to grow them out. I grow them out then cut them then grow them out then cut them. So I had bangs and I decided to let them grow out but it didn't last as long as it usually does. I cut them off again. Now I have cute bangs again and I am so excited!!

What do you guys think? Do you like me better with bangs or without?? I like both so I am sure I will grow them out and then cut them again in the near future.

I have two hats that I love and I am just now finding cute ways to wear them. So I posted a pic for Ally and for anyone else who wants to see...

I love this hat! Isn't it adorable?? I added some snow into the picture to make it a little more fun haha.

What do you guys think?

(Oh, and I have no makeup on in these pictures so forgive that haha)

Number 1

Here it is! The moment you all have been waiting for!! Well, maybe not, but that's all right. I am doing this post a little earlier than planned because I have some new developments that I would like to blog about before the end of the month...and that doesn't give me much time.

So, here we go! My Number 1 is...be still my beating heart...the ever so sexy and serious

Paul Wesley!!!

Yay for Stefan Salvatore! Most of you know that Vampire Diaries is one of my favorite shows and Stefan is definitely my favorite character. He is so sexy and serious but he can be funny and romantic and just gorgeous all together!

He also played in the television miniseries Fallen where he played Aaron Corbett. I loved this show...of course I am a little biased because this show was about angels and the book I am writing is about angels...

I know he played on Army Wives too, but I have never watched the show. I have heard wonderful things about it and I have wanted to watch it, but I haven't gotten around to it. Have you guys watched that show?

He is always so serious in his pictures so most of them are turning out to be his B.A. pictures and even when he smiles, he still looks B.A.

But this picture is probably my favorite. I'm not entire sure why, but I love the way he is standing and the little smirk. Yummy!

Here he is as Stefan from The Vampire Diaries. MMMmmmm!!!! I know that a lot of people like his brother (in the show) Damon better than Stefan but I think they are crazy! I do like Damon, but I LOVE Stefan!!


Another Vampire Diaries picture...I just can't resist!!

Now, I couldn't find a good shirtless picture of him that I liked...even though he does have a nice bod...but, you guys can go look for yourselves if you think he is sexy.

All right, let's hear it...anyone agree with my Number 1??

Number 2

Is everyone getting excited to learn my Number 1?? Or could everyone really just care less? haha. Well, Number 2 is the last one with an accent on the countdown and he was actually Number 1 the last time I did this...he was bumped down one little notch, but he is still dear to my heart! :)

So Number 2 is the incredibly sexy

Alex O'Loughlin

He is also Australian and is best known for his roles as Mick St. John in Moonlight, Detective Kevin Hiatt in The Shield, Stan in The Back-Up Plan, and now Steve McGarrett in the new remake of Hawaii Five-O. He also played Russell Haden in Whiteout and Marshall in August Rush.

Adorable. So casual and handsome. Did anyone see The Back-Up Plan? I thought it was a cute movie and I loved his character in it. But, of course, my favorite thing he has done is


Mick St. John in Moonlight. I am so sad that they canceled the show after only one season. It was so great. He is a private investigator and a vampire. The long hair, the mysterious loner personality, that smile...yummy.



Once more, a shirtless picture. Notice all of the wonderful tattoos. I love a man with tattoos!!

Now, I know you must all be wondering who my Number 1 is since Mr. Gorgeous here was Number 1 previously...I guess you will have to wait until sometime tomorrow night to find out. I know the suspense is killing you. (That was definitely sarcastic since only one person has even commented on my countdown.)

Regardless, I shall prevail! Who agrees with my Number 2??

Number 3

Moving right along to Number 3 and adding another one with an accent. Who doesn't like a sexy man with an accent?...(he isn't the last one with an accent on my countdown either)

Sam Worthington

A 34 year old Australian actor who is best known for playing Jake Sully in Avatar and Perseus in the remake of Clash of the Titans. I love him in both of those movies.

This picture is my favorite. He looks so sweet and still so sexy. I have been trying to put a sweet picture of each guy on my List along with a B.A. picture because I find both sides of them so wonderful. This picture is definitely the sweet and adorable picture. So handsome.

And this is the B.A. picture. I'm not really sure why this picture is so appealing to me, but it is. He looks relaxed but like a complete bad boy. I love it!








Now, I just had to add pictures from Clash of the Titans and Avatar on here. Everyone knows I love the Ancient Roman style armor and since he is the one wearing it...double whammy!










I adore him in Avatar. The humor in everything he says and does and the fact that everything that comes out of his mouth in that movie is dripping with sarcasm. I love it! Plus, I'm not entirely sure why he is so sexy as an Omaticaya warrior...(the blue person for those of you who haven't watched the movie)...but he is.









All right...anyone agree with me on this one??

Number 4

The countdown continues. Number 4 isn't as well known as Number 5 was, but he does fit the criteria or being less that 40 since he is only 27.

The only thing I have seen him in is Legend of the Seeker which is a television series based on the Sword of Truth book series by Terry Goodkind. I have only read the first book, which was amazing, but you can't really compare the series to the book because you will hate the series. It really doesn't follow the book at all. But the series is good too if you look at it as a separate thing altogether...which is what I always have to do when a movie or whatnot doesn't follow a book that I love...that way I can like them both.

He is...

Craig Horner

He is an Australian actor, so most of what he does is Australian movies and television shows. Has anyone else seen him in anything else other than Legend of the Seeker?

I think he is a good actor and he is also completely adorable. His character in Legend of the Seeker is named Richard Cypher, and he is such a great character. He is lovable and easy to relate to. I love the outfits in this show too.

Now, he was in my previous List of Five. And the fact that he made it to the remake of it is saying something. I realize that not everyone has the same taste in men as I do, but I'm not sure anyone could say that he isn't at least cute.

This picture shows his outfit from the show. His hair is a little longer, this is from the second season, but I will never turn down longer hair...as long as it looks nice and clean and not yucky.

All right, so I had a picture of Brendan Fraser without a shirt in the previous post, and I feel like I would be robbing my followers if I didn't add a picture of Craig Horner without his shirt on...


He has his shirt off a lot in the show and I really can't blame them for doing that. In fact, I thank them!

So, who agrees with me on my Number 4 choice? Anyone?
