Movies: Kari loved scary movies & Molly Ringwald movies.  Her favorite Molly Ringwald movie is the Breakfast Club and her favorite movie of all time is Ever After

Music Kari loved her music. She often made her own mixed CD's so she could listen to all of her favorite songs.  I remember Kari even enjoyed listening to my music such as The Outlaws & Bad Company.
  Kari's type of music varied.  I know she loved the Plain White T's, especially the song  "Hey There Delilah".  I found one of  the last CD's she made and on it of course was some Plain White T's.  It also had Shiny Toy Guns and some other artists I have yet to find out who they are..  Kari also loved some old time rockers such as Bob Dylan.

Friends: Kate Marshall was Kari's best friend.  Kari really enjoyed spending time with Kate.  She liked to go to the Southside with her and hang out at the Bee Hive and browse through the shops.  Going to the malls with her friends and hanging out was something else Kari enjoyed doing with her friends.
