Yesterday evening, I met my friend, Ashley, at Starbucks for coffee. We had the best time catching up and enjoying our time alone, without any kids. Ashley was the first friend I made when we moved to Amarillo. We actually met her and her husband when we were in town interviewing for Brad's job. After we moved, we found out that our boys were only a few months apart, and Ashley was pregnant with her second. Not long after, I found out I was pregnant with Kayt. Since that time, Ashley has had another baby. She now has three children under the age of three. She is amazing!
After coffee, I went to see the midnight showing of Twilight with a few friends. I loaded up on caffeine, seeing as how I typically object to the ten o'clock showing of movies because my eye lids begin to close when I enter a dark room late at night. So, midnight was really pushing it for me, but I wanted to see the movie.

For me, this adventure was crazy. I felt like I was living on the edge being out until the early hours of the morning with all of the high school students.
The movie was....okay. I mean, I liked it, but I didn't love it. If you have read the books, you should definitely go see the movie, but I cannot imagine how it would be very entertaining if you did not already know the story line. If you have seen it, what did you think? I am curious to hear other's opinions. I think the girls I went with liked it more than I did. It did go by very quickly, and they captured most of the book sequencing correctly so I guess that makes it a successful movie.
Today, it is Christmas decorating! After my boys get home from Dudes and Donuts, we are going to get to work decking the walls. Tonight we have Brad's staff Christmas party. A day full of Christmas, and it isn't even Thanksgiving yet...love it!

I liked it too...probably more than you did though. Didn't love it just b/c no movie ever compares to the book. I did dig the indie feel of the movie though. I'm a big fan of Catherine Hardwicke (the director). And if a movie has good music then I'm all about it. Anywho, that's my 2 cents. I'll probably go see it again during the day when all the little teeny boppers are in school so that I don't have to listen to all the giggling. ;)
Ashley, what are those books about? A few girls in my youth group have been reading them and I just wasn't quite sure what they were all about. I would appreiciate your feedback!! Thanks!!
ahh!! i wish i would have known about a midnight showing...i guess i am not a movie buff!
we have tickets to the 7:30 show tonight! :)
I am almost done with book 4!!
I hear ya! We put up everything last weekend except the outside lights (I didn't want to be "that" house on the block that has lights up in mid-November!).
I still have to put ornaments on our big tree, but that's it. I love, love, love Christmas!
Sounds like a fun night - and very rebellious (no, seriously)! PS - I finally blogged about my "obsessions"! Have a great weekend!
The only problem with this picture is that there are obviously a couple of cute Twilight shirts being hidden by big coats. I don't get to go until next week once we are back in town. I am excited though.
i saw it last night...i loved it! it was interesting to see the actors Stephenie Meyer chose...i heard she hand picked Edward i am not sure about the others!
Dr. Cullen looked so young...i didnt remember him that young! i loved their house...totally not the way i pictured it! actually, i had alot of things pictured differently! charlie was pretty close...his character was a little more sarcastic than i remember...bella was EXACTLY how i had her pictured!
ahh! totally loved it! cant wait for #2!
I have no idea what the books or movie is about, so sorry no opinion. I did notice something funny about the picture you posted. The girl on the left is holding a coffee cup that is blurred like yall are famous and can't be endorsing things. I'm pretty sure it is random, but I just thought it was funny.
