I read the first three books in the Stephenie Meyers Twilight series in one week. That was two years ago. Sadly, it took an entire year for the fourth and final book in the series to be released. I read that one in a matter of days. Needless to say...I enjoy them. :0)
When the first book was made into a movie I was super excited.....that is, until I watched it. It stunk. Badly....
Still, I held out hope that the next movie would be better.
For any of you that live in Twin Falls...you realize there is not much to do around these parts....especially when it gets cold outside. Knowing there would be a whole evening at the movie theater revolving around the release of the second movie, New Moon, I knew I had to go. Not necessarily for the movie, because I had no expectations for the movie, but because I knew it would be fun to go and see all of the little teenage girls screaming over Edward and Jacob. :0) It was the event I was dying to go to....
I convinced a few friends to go with me to the midnight showing of New Moon on Thursday night and invited them all over to my house to watch the first movie, Twilight, just before we headed over to the theater. And, because I love nothing more than having theme parties (is that sad?) I made matching t-shirts for all of us to wear too. Who says "old" ladies don't know how to have fun? :0)
I was on Team Edward....Montay (who just so happens to be pretending to bite my neck like a vampire) was on Team Jacob. For those of you who have been closed off to the world for the past several years....Edward is a vampire...and Jacob is a werewolf.
I was going crazy with blood-hunger apparently. :0) Ellen smelled TOO good!!!
Here's the gang patiently waiting for the movie to start....Tiffany, Ellen, Rachelle, Crystal, Fonda, Montay, and me.
Nathan and Crystal....
Me, Montay, and Fonda...(yes...those are glow sticks and I swear EVERYONE else at the theater was totally jealous!)
Rachelle, Ellen, and Tiffany
This was Montay frantically driving us to the theater. See how excited she is? She doesn't even LIKE the books. Yet...here she is....wearing her Jacob shirt...with the Jacob pin on the front....driving her car that was covered in window marker with phrases like "Team Jacob!" and "New Moon!" And, because we are older than the tweenies...we totally parked in the bowling alley parking lot so we could be closer to the door (it was stinking cold outside!!!) and jumped over the fence to get to the front doors. We've got MAD SKILLS! 
Do I look tired? This picture was taken at 2:30 am AFTER we had seen the movie. 
Here's the group in our wicked awesome shirts....
Can you see how excited I was for the movie? (photo taken courtesy of Mackenzee photography "Say cheese AND smile mom!")
While I was making the shirts for us girls my kids decided they didn't want to feel left out and wanted me to make them shirts too. They both chose to be Team Edward (through no persuasion whatsoever!). We are baring our teeth like vampires in this picture. Don't we look fierce?
I had so much fun last night girls!!! Thanks so much for your willingness to be crazy with me. I've never been so loud in a theater in my entire life (and still had others be louder than me!!!) Can't wait for Eclipse to come out....I hear it's going to be released in June...you guys ready to stay up all night again?
Amazingly, I did not end up looking like a hooker. :0) They did a super good job don't you think?
Since we had just enough time to get their hair done, I hurried and gave each girl the same sassy hairdo. 
This is one of Kenzee's signature looks. :0) All four girls even let me curl their hair...and let me tell you....they were four of the prettiest princesses I have ever seen!
