I know it has been a while since I've actually posted much...on the personal side of it all, but...like everyone else, responsibilities have to be taken care of before this...haha! It's not easy...plus, it is time consuming...to run a blog. I know and fellow bloggers have expressed the same as well. It's a lot of work and time to keep up and maintain a blog. We can't please everyone...but, to those who do follow and read our blogs, we VERY much appreciate your dedication to our blogs.
Thanks to talking to a few blogger friends...thoughts were racing through my mind on what else I can do to make my posts a bit more personal...other than my fan experiences at events (especially when I don't make it to many events). Like with the others, the thought of sharing what I am looking forward to made sense. Since there is so much out there coming out in movies, shows, and books, why not share what I am looking forward to the most.
Hence, the first monthly post of my wants and desires in movies, shows, and books! Let us begin...
What I am looking forward to in September...

Dolphin Tale 2 (2014)
http://dolphintale2.com/
https://www.facebook.com/dolphintalemovie
Genre:
Family Drama
Cast:
Harry Connick, Jr., Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd, Kris Kristofferson, Nathan Gamble, Cozi Zuehlsdorff, Austin Stowell, Bethany Hamilton
Synopsis:
Inspired by the true story of a dolphin named Winter who was rescued off the Florida coast. The film will follow a boy who befriends an injured dolphin who lost her tail in a crab trap.
Warner Bros. Pictures and Alcon Entertainment's Dolphin Tale 2 continues the story of the brave dolphin Winter, whose miraculous rescue and recovery--thanks to a groundbreaking prosthetic tail--made her a symbol of hope and perseverance to people around the world and inspired the 2011 family hit movie Dolphin Tale.
It has been several years since young Sawyer Nelson (Gamble) and the dedicated team at the Clearwater Marine Hospital, headed by Dr. Clay Haskett (Connick Jr.), rescued Winter. With the help of Dr. Cameron McCarthy (Freeman), who developed a unique prosthetic tail for the injured dolphin, they were able to save her life.
Yet their fight is not over. Winter's surrogate mother, the very elderly dolphin Panama, has passed away, leaving Winter without the only poolmate she has ever known. However, the loss of Panama may have even greater repercussions for Winter, who, according to USDA regulations, cannot be housed alone, as dolphins' social behavior requires them to be paired with other dolphins. Time is running out to find a companion for her before the team at Clearwater loses their beloved Winter to another aquarium.
Reprising their roles, Kristofferson plays Clay's father, Reed; Zuehlsdorff is Clay's teenage daughter, Hazel; Judd returns as Sawyer's mom, Lorraine; and Stowell plays Sawyer's cousin, Kyle. Champion surfer Bethany Hamilton, who herself has been an example of courage, appears as herself in the film.
Dolphin Tale 2 was filmed at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, the non-profit rescue and rehabilitation facility that Winter calls home.
