Goodbye Once Upon A Time

How am I supposed to say goodbye to my favorite show? I can't because it's not goodbye. Once upon a time will live on through hope, strength, believing, and magic. Once Upon A Time was a show that the world needed right now. It gave our world something good to believe in. It gave us all hope and that hope will always be there when we need it most. 

Once Upon A Time gave us love stories, triumph, battles, different kingdoms and worlds, many different characters and stories and I will cherish it all. From season 1 when we first meet Emma Swan to the very end of season 7 when we see Emma and Killian with their baby girl Hope and all of the kingdoms together in one place, nothing will ever be forgotten by anyone. Once Upon A Time means more to me than just about any other show I have ever watched and loved and nothing will ever take it's place in my heart. Once was there for me when no one else during my hard times. It gave me hope and strength when I needed it most. It made me smile and filled me with relief. I will always have my DVDs when I need them. Once has inspired me more than any other show as well, especially with my writing. Once Upon A Time will always hold a special place in my heart. 

Now, I just want to share some of my favorite episodes and moments:

1. When Emma breaks the first curse and is reunited with her parents. 


I loved this one so much! Emma finally had her family back! The one she always deserved to have! 

2. Captain Swan Movie - When Emma presented herself as Princess Leia with Killian!


I loved this so much as well! Not just because Emma presented herself as Princess Leia but also because she said one of my all time favorite lines " Who do I look like, Marty McFly"? 

3. When Emma sacrificed herself to save everyone and became the Dark Swan!


This was so beautiful to me. Not just because Emma was sacrificing herself and becoming the Dark Swan but because this was the first time she said "I love you" to Killian! 

4. Snowing breaking their sleeping curses!



Loved these beautiful moments! They always said they would always find each other and they always did! 

5. Both Captain Swan proposals!



I cried my eyes out during both of these! 

6. The Captain Swan Wedding aka the musical episode! 


I cried my eyes out during this as well! Loved it so much! Emma's Theme is my hope and inspiration everyday and A Happy Beginning is my ring tone! 

7. Pancakes! 


It was way better than tacos! Haha! 

8. Rumple and Belle reuniting in the end! 

This was absolutely beautiful! I knew Rumple would find is way back to Belle! 

9. Finding out Emma was pregnant with Hope!

I was so happy to have seen this one! Emma was finally happy and getting another chance at motherhood! Everything she deserved and more! 

10. Emma, Killian and Baby Hope in the last episode! 


This was absolutely everything to me! It's all I ever wanted for Emma!

So those are just 10 of my favorite moments from Once Upon A Time! Yes they are mostly Captain Swan but I can't help them I love them so much! 

Now for a thank you to my Idol, Inspiration and my everything, Jennifer Morrison! Thank you again for giving the world Emma Swan! She is a true symbol of hope, strength, light, and love! She is my favorite Heroine and Superhero! The Savior! My Savior! I love Emma Swan more than I love any other character! I relate to her so much! She gave me courage and strength and showed me to fight for who I love and what I deserve! Emma was my strength through many hard times especially when I was bullied and when both of my grandmother's passed way. Even now and forever Emma will always be my hope and strength as will you Jen! You mean the world to me and it is my dream to meet you someday and I hope with all my heart that it comes true! I love you and Emma Swan forever! When I see a red leather jacket or a yellow bug Volkswagen I will think of Emma Swan and I will smile! 



And a big Thank you to the other half of my OTP forever and the BEST Captain Hook ever, Colin O'Donoghue! You made me laugh, you made me cry, and you gave me hope! We wouldn't have Captain Swan or Baby Hope without you! No one will ever be a better Captain Hook! Love you! 


With that, we close the final chapter of the Once Upon A Time book (for now, because you never know what could happen in the future). Don't ever lose the hope that Once Upon A Time gave us. It may no longer be on our screens as new episodes but the hope it gave us, the inspiration, and the love will always be in our hearts forever! Oncers Forever!

My Alex & The List Review


I watched Alex & The List a few days ago and wanted to give my thoughts on it so here we go. This cute movie stars Jennifer Morrison as Katherine, Patrick Fugit as Alex and Karen Gillan as Lily. 

Basically, Alex thinks he has found the girl of his dreams in Katherine. He plans to propose to her until his best friend Lily convinces Katherine to make a list of "improvements" for Alex. Alex being in love with Katherine and willing to do anything to keep her, decides to do the list. The list includes: get teeth whitened, convert to Judaism as Katherine is Jewish, get circumcised, upgrade wardrobe, learn to love regular sports such as football, and drive a German car. Alex ends up completing the list. He even gave up his dog since Katherine is allergic. 

Alex becomes very close with Katherine and her family. What was supposed to be Katherine's brother's wedding ended up being hers well almost. When it came time for Alex to step on the glass, he couldn't do it. He left Katherine at the alter, and went and got his dog back. He ended up finding a new girl at the park. So Katherine was left heartbroken and in tears at the alter. 

I felt so bad for Katherine. I wanted to jump through my laptop screen and give her a big hug. She didn't deserve to be left at the alter, heartbroken and humiliated in front of all of her family and friends. I could tell she really loved Alex and I really thought they would end up getting married, I really did. I don't understand how Alex who seemed to be so in love with Katherine, agreed to do the whole list, complete the list and then not marry her. It makes no sense to me to go through all that and circumcision and then not marry the supposed girl of your dreams but that's just me.

Overall, I thought the movie was cute and lighthearted. I wish Katherine had a better ending though as what happened was not really her fault she just did what was suggested to her. 

As always, my idol, Jennifer Morrison was amazing and did her character of Katherine so much justice and more. Jen is amazing in everything she does, every character she plays, and more. I can't wait to see more of her projects ones that she is in and ones that she directs as well. She inspires me everyday! Always love and admire you, Jen! 

Everyone go check out this movie! It's on itunes, amazon, and in select theaters now!!
