I finally finished Breaking Dawn, the last book in the twilight series. I'm not going to give you any spoilers as there is still twilight fans out there reading this book, but I do have to say that it WAS NOT my favorite.
For one thing, I think Stephanie Meyer carried some things out in the book WAY too much! For me there were good parts, yet alot of very boring parts and It didn't end as good as I thought it would.
I can't believe that I went to walmart at midnight to get this book and was so excited to read it..only to be let down. :( Don't get me wrong I think that Stephanie Meyer is an excellent author , but I just wasn't in to it this time.
I am really looking forward to the Twilight movie that comes out in December because that is my all time favorite book.

The Release...
On this day, August 2nd,2008 at 12:01a.m. the long awaited release of Breaking Dawn and possibly the looooooongest day of my ENTIRE life!!
It all started when I pre-ordered a book on Amazon.com and then realized that it said that the book wasn't going to ship until the 4th of August. Excuse me...I have waited how long for this book to come out? So, I cancelled my order on Amazon and just decided to go to walmart and get one when it came out.
Brittany texted me and asked me when I was going to go get the book. I told her around 11:30ish. She said, "well I should come with you and we can have a sleepover." I told her that would be fine and to come on over.
We just kind of hung out for awhile and then the closer it got to midnight the more anxious I got. I kept asking Bethie what the time was and she was just getting more irritated with me LOL. I was really antsy and I just couldn't sit here any longer. So we left at 11.
We headed to McDonalds(for brits sundae) and to del taco for a couple of cheap tacos. All this waiting made us hungry I guess...haha! We kept looking over at walmart to see if there may be a line, but all we saw was a gazillion cars...YIKES!
We finally make it to walmart...sitting in the car in the parking lot, eating our tacos and watching groups... and more groups of girls walk in to the store. At this point, I knew we needed to get in there because we knew there would be a line. I don't remember eating my last taco..ha!
We walk into the store and walk to the back where we thought they may have the books. We turned the corner.....and WOW there was the beginning of the line. OMGSH..I though I was going to cry! The line just kept going and going, not an end in sight. We finally found the end and it pretty much wrapped around the entire store...no joke! So we waited.....
It was getting closer to midnight and you could hear everyone start to get excited and then you hear....5,4,3,2,1.....and then just a bunch of screaming. Ok, I thought I was obsessed, but come on...its a book, do you really need to scream?? The line moved pretty fast, I was surprised and I got a book...YAY!! But then it came time to stand in line to check out.....so we waited again.....
I'm not sure what time we left walmart...but I started reading when I got home and read 3 chapters...didn't get to bed until 2:30am.....Yep, it definetely was the longest day of my life!!!
Just so you know....If you don't hear from me for awhile, its because I've got my face buried in a book called BREAKING DAWN.

Ohhhh the anticipation....
One more day until the release of the new book Breaking Dawn, from the Twilight series. The waiting...the wondering of what is going to happen is literally killing me!!! I'm hearing some things that may happen and may not happen from several people(Becky your one of them!) and my mind won't stop working. I hope it ends good or I think I will have to hurt someone..haha! To all you Twilight fans out there...HAPPY READING!!

Journey to the Center of the Earth

Yesterday my mom, bethie, Brittany and I went to Jordan Commons and saw the movie Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D. My mom doesn't get out much lately and I knew this was a movie that she would absolutely LOVE! I'm so glad that I paid the extra money to go see it in 3D becasuse it was so worth it and my mom loved it. :) Brendan Frasier is hilarious in this movie. I love him! I'm really not sure how it would be at the regualar theaters....I'm sure it would be good but not as good as seeing it in 3D. Go check it out..I highly recommend it!

The Wedding
Congratulations to my brother Kim and his new bride Stacey who were married on Friday July 18th high on top of a mountain in Current Creek. What I thought would turn out to be a total "redneck wedding" actually turned out to be a very beautiful ceremony in a setting that only God could create. Everything turned out perfect, which is amazing because so many things were last minute. The boys did a great job in getting things ready for the big event, consisting of clearing a pathway for the bridal party to walk down, making a podium, making a place to stand for the bride and groom, pitching a food tent for the potluck after the ceremony(which by the way was fantastic), gathering firewood and many more things to make it memorable. The bride and groom looked great as well as the rest of the bridal party(my niece and nephews and my new step nephews). We couldn't have asked for better weather and great family and friends to spend the day with. Welcome to the family Stacey!! :) I will post some pictures of the wedding later...
