Midnight Madness

Okay so we had a little midnight tailgate, at the local Tooele theatre last night, for the premier of our much beloved Twilight. I got hooked on the series, (like so many other crazed fans), in May when I attended a conference with Scott in Las Vegas. He was in meetings all day, and I was so excited to do nothing but relax. I borrowed my sisters copy of Twilight, at the last minuet while we were dropping the kids off at grandmas house. I was really reluctant to start it, considering it's size, and that I'm not a person who reads as a hobby. At the airport we were a little early and had a hour to kill, so I began reading after Scott said "just start it"! I read on the plane, a little before bed, woke up and read until dinner! I have never had a passion to read anything like I did this book. I loved it, and I loved that I loved reading it, because I never considered myself a reader. I found a new favorite pastime. I absolutely enjoyed reading the entire 4 book series. So a Twilight passion began. Its been so fun for me these past several months sharing thoughts and ideas about the books with my friends, and Scott (what a man, he has read them too!) Last night was a blast! We sat in the filled to capacity theatre for 2 hours before the movie began. We talked, laughed, Took pictures, and ate our bucket of popcorn, Junior mints, and drank our Dr. Pepper! Sure bliss! Thanks to my friends Tekarri, Steph, and Kristin who made this such a fun and memorable evening. Oh how was the movie you ask... It was great! I'm sad to say I've always been one to watch the movie, and not read the book. Now that I've read the book, and now watched the movie, I understand what they say about movies not comparing to the books. I really loved the movie, but I will always have my version of Edward and Bella in my own little happy place in my head!
