Finally,,, a movie!

I am one of the thousands of "30+" women who are in love with a fictional character and my husband knows about it. I am obviously talking about Edward Cullen from Twilight. When I was little I used to love Fred from Scooby-Doo, but I'm all grown up now. On to vampires. :) I, like many others, was very skeptical about reading this book series until my bestest friend Leslie told me about them two summers ago. Read them all in one month, maybe less. While Nashville was going through a gas shortage, I was using all the gas I had to get me to Target to buy the last 2 books and make it home. If I was gonna be stranded at home, might as well have something to read!

I say all this because I finally saw "New Moon" last night. I am a month behind, but I couldnt just see the movie with just anyone. I met my friend Kristen in Huntsville, AL to watch this movie. She came from Birmingham and it was a good middle point. Of course we dragged our hubbies along to watch Charlie. They are good friends so they didnt mind! All week I was looking forward to this day! I get to the movie first to go get our tickets to the 4:40 show,,,,and the 13-year old behind the desk says "the show started at 4:20. the next one is at 7:20." Normally this wouldn have been a problem, but with a baby who wont take a bottle, it is a problem. I calmly tell the tween that on the website it has showings at 4:40 and 5:20. She said, "Hmmm. Sorry." Sorry? SORRY????!!!!!! I have been waiting for this day for a year and drove 2 hours to see it with another diehard fan and this is my 2nd movie in almost 6 months, and all you say is sorry??????????? How about---"OH NO!! Let me check the website and give you a free ticket for your trouble!" ok. I know I'm dreaming but still, a little sympathy would have been much appreciated.

So I tell Kristen asap our predicament and we decided that after previews we have missed about 10 minutes. I have read the book two times so I got the beginning. Plus I will be at Walmart at 12:01 am when it comes out on DVD. So, we race to the theatre and sit and enjoy the movie, and it was a very good movie. I know some people become Team Jacob, and I can see how one might waiver, but I am a faithful Team Edward activist. My Ashley knows how I feel about Edward and he still seems pretty secure about it:) Already counting down the days for the third movie! Ash and Kristen's husband went to Ash's favorite restaurant---Buffalo Wild Wings, so it turned out to be a win win. (My Ash secretly likes the movie,,I just know it!)

I hope I get some responses on the Twilight Saga. Do not be ashamed if you are a 30+ year old woman who loves vampires! There are others out there like us!:)

So, moving on to Christmas... (No smooth transition here at all. Sorry. )

Getting Charlie ready for his first Christmas,,,here are some pics!

Is he not ridiculous? Merry Christmas everyone!
