I've been wanting to email you and catch up on Jessica news! ;) So glad you weighed in on this subject. Heath Ledger first caught my eye in A Knight's Tale, and you're right, in Patriot, he makes a wonderful hero. So young and bold, so sure of himself. With those black inky teeth, lol. Sad to hear how life ended for him. Now Mr. Knightley....I'd forgotten what a wonderful hero he was! I must get that movie and watch it again...it's been way too long. Jessica has VERY good taste in heroes, that is so special that he reminds her of her dad. The hero that reminds me of my hubby in certain ways, is Jim, in The Man From Snowy River. Though I couldn't believe the sequel had him living with Jessica w/o marriage! That really turned me off, whereas we loved the first movie. I just didn't think his character would have settled for that, no matter how awful his father in law would have been over them getting married. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, Cena! Cena!

I saw that in the theater with my girlfriend and we were laughing so hard because although Mr. Gibson has always been someone to swoon over, his movie son in The Patriot, Heath Ledger, was amazingly attractive. Well, we realized that Mr. Gibson was our age, and Mr. Ledger was the age of our eldest son's and we giggled thru the whole tearjerking movie. We didn't feel that we were allowed to swoon over a hero so young... But, they loved their women and families enough to fight and die for them. They had faults like the father wanting to bury his head in the sand because of grief, and the son wanting to fight too quickly. But as the story unfolds, they are so sweetly honorable, strong, smart, and single minded for a good cause, the story was magical. And Mel Gibson's father role with his little girl he had to win over even made my husband cry. That never happens. My daughter Jessica loves Mr. Knightly in Emma. He's honorable, a best friend, willing to say hard things, and a perfect gentleman. Maybe too perfect, but none the less her favorite hero. She says he reminds her of daddy, my husband:) Mr. Knightly's noble cause was to teach Emma be gracious, generous and a good example to those who look up to her, because of her station in life. And he was the perfect example himself, and yet quiet and humble...nice. Oh my, there’s nothing like Mel Gibson in the Patriot.

So WTG for your dad and hubby. :) And for you, for branching out, I know that getting adjusted in a new church is hard, it takes time to feel at home sometimes. Yes! I'd say FTG's is a keeper, we've already loaned ours out to two other families, and miss it! My daughter and I are trying not to hound their aunt about watching it and getting it back to us! ;) Well, hockey should be a pretty good way to keep in shape!

But it works out nice since then I go into town to Church (rather than the small one here...remember I had said about no Sunday School and was thinking of going to a different one here just so Kyle got some interaction). Well he doesn't go to Sunday School, because I like to get something out of the Mass, but at least if I need to go downstairs when he's fussy, there are kids down there and he has a blast. Anyways, my Dad also got him started on a Tuesday noontime hockey (and now that DH is on nights for a few weeks my Dad's trying to get him to come to Thursday lunch hour hockey)... I haven't seen "A Christmas Card" but I will have to look for it! I've been meaning to go out and rent "Facing the Giants" like you suggested too, but haven't yet. And today I got my christianbook.com catalog in the mail and I saw it for $15...so I might just have to order it...you said it was a keeper anyhow!

Dh loves anything Zorro! I really liked the hero in the Hallmark movie, A Christmas Card. So strong and silent, but DEEP and wow...have you seen that movie? I loved to ice skate, but never took lessons. Do you and your dh ice skate together ever, or play hockey together? Your dad still plays every day?! Wow. It sounds like FUN honestly!

The Pirates of the Caribean trilogy is really good so far. It's extremely unrealistic but funny and is really advenurous, so DH likes it alot too. I figure skated when I was younger and so I spent most of my days there too...plus my brother was in hockey so when we weren't there for skating, we were there for hockey. I was always a tomboy growing up though...I always wanted to join hockey but my parents wouldn't let me since it wasn't ladylike. But now my little sister is in hockey...LOL parenting styles definitely have changed since I was her age. My Dad was really into hockey and got drafted by the NY Islanders when he was young (while him and my Mom were going out) but he decided to have a family rather than pursue that, so hockey has always been a big thing in our family because he still plays hockey every day... I'm still trying to come up with more heroes...how about Zorro...LOL I loved him growing up! He was so mysterious and romantic and dangerous.

I think it's neat that your dh loves/plays hockey. When I was a young girl, we'd often go to a nearby mall and sit watching hockey games there. The mall had a large ice rink. I thought those hockey players were pretty hunky! Especially when they'd slam into the wall below me and glance up and wink! Leticia, I have got to hie myself to a movie store. I feel really out of touch after reading your and Geri's favorite movie heroes. I haven't seen any of the movies you mentioned. I think I'd like them though, based on the heroes! I have seen a very old version of P&P, but not the newest one.
