Girls Rule!!! (And we LOVE boys).

Last Friday "Twilight" came to the dollar ($3) theater. So I called up my friend, Liz and asked if she wanted to go. (Eric did not want to see it). She wanted to see it but said she had plans to go to the Gap Clearance Center with Anna.

Then we got to scheming.

She said she didn't think the Anna would mind if I went shopping with them and then we could go to "Twilight" afterward. Lucky us. Anna didn't mind AND even wanted to see "Twilight" with us!!!

So Liz picked me up. Then I hopped in the back seat when we picked Anna up. Then it was shopping time. With NO kids!!! (That is near heavenly). I actually was able to find five shirts and a pair of jeans (for myself) and spent a whopping $20.10 with tax!

Then it was off to the 9:40pm showing of "Twilight" where we got a pretty good spot to sit and shared popcorn while laughing and wondering at the movie.

We didn't get home til after midnight.

It felt SO good.

Girlfriends ROCK!!!

I don't think I'd been to a movie with girlfriends since before I was married! It was EXTREMELY refreshing to my soul to get to do that.

Thank you to my hottie/hubby for encouraging me to go, and to my great friends (and their families) for giving me a great "girls' night out".

Still Here...

Don't worry 'bout me, I'm still here. I'm just reading the Twilight Series again so I can give the books back.

It really has been a nice break from reality to read the series. It sure would be nice if there were more "Edwards" in this world. So many happy marriages and families... women being treated with respect and gentleness... self-control... fidelity... compassion... passion... selflessness... forgiveness... love...

Reality sure can sting, even if it's somebody else's problem.
I've had a difficult week made better by our Savior. I am SO grateful that we can cast our burdens on Him and He willingly takes them from us.
I had a friend share some horrifying news with me this week that was tearing me apart because it is something I fear in my own life and I was really dragged down by it. With a priesthood blessing, prayer, and talking to my hubby, I feel much better. Not perfect, but better.

Reading the books with the tremendous bond of love between Edward and Bella helped, too. (Even though it is fiction. We can still dream...wish...desire...work toward...)

Marriage; to leave it idle is to kill it.

What gear are you in? (Please, don't answer to me.)

"Breaking Dawn"

Finally. Aaahhhh. That was an adventure.

Doesn't it make you wish that Edward and Bella had a blog so you could read what's going on in their world often? It's not like it didn't end well but I just didn't want it to end. It could be a Soap Opera, don't you think?

Oh well.

"Eclipse"

Woah!!! I don't know what else to say! Those guys are CRAZY, Bella's crazy! Woah!

"New Moon"

Did you cry??? I cried. (More than I thought I could over a silly book, I cried)!

My friend let me borrow the last three books (now I don't feel left out) but I'm not looking forward to the "after-series-depression".

"Twilight"

Got it for Christmas. Read it. Loved it.
Now I'm having a hard time getting my hands on "New Moon".
Very frustrated....
GRRR! (No. I'm not a vampire. But I'm sure I can growl like one.)
