Thankful Thursday

Wow, did this past week fly by or what? I can't believe how incredibly busy this week has been for me! But that is a good thing because the week is now nearly over and the long holiday weekend is upon us...WOO HOO! Hope you all have some great plans for the last hooray of the summer!

Here's my list for the week:


#1) New Opportunities - Last night I held my first "Spa Escape" and it was a total blast. I knew that I was going to enjoy doing this little business on the side, I just didn't realize how much! It is so rewarding having friends and loved ones come to your home and provide spa services to them and help bring relaxation and a healthier lifestyle to their world. I can't wait to keep sharing with others and watch this business grow! I was really nervous about venturing out and trying something like this, but I am really thankful that I have trusted my love for this type of product and service and have decided to go for it!


#2) New School(s)/Year- I love this time of year. It's always so exciting getting ready for the new school year! Finding out who your new teacher will be! Finding out what kids you will have in your classes! All the new school supplies and school clothes! This year both Cydnee and Jaxon are going to brand NEW schools, Cydnee a new Charter school, and Jaxon a new Private school and I am so excited! We went to Back-to-School Night for Cydnee tonight and it was so great to see this brand new, beautiful building and meet all the wonderful administrators and teachers. I am so thankful that both of the kids are going to be in solid education programs and great positive environments. And they both have to wear uniforms! YES! No more fighting with Cydnee on what to wear every morning! Thank you! Jaxon is going to be adorable!





#3) New Beginnings - Chris and I started our couple's therapy today! Any of you who know even a glimpse of our lives know what a messed up situation we are always in, and the years of trials just keep taking their toll on us. Not that we are worse off than any other couple, but we do have our share of unique trials. Either way, I'm thankful that we are taking some steps to help us work on our relationship and our communication and find better ways to deal with these trials. I'm thankful to be moving in a positive direction for once.





#4) New Prescription - This one is a doubled-edged sword. I had to go back on my migraine meds this week. I tried for the past two months to go without, hoping that I had grown out of the need to have them, but no such luck. I couldn't take the pain any longer. So I'm thankful to have the pain subsiding...but sad to feel that there is no end in sight to my dependency on medicine for these awful headaches.




#5) New Laptop - This was the best part of my entire week! The time finally came that I had to purchase a new laptop for all my personal usage! And I am soooo excited! This baby is Sick! Another reason for me to be thankful that it's the weekend...more time to play with my new baby! YES!

Thankful Thursday

It's been a few weeks since I had a chance to do my "Thankful Thursday" list...and look, I'm actually getting it done on Thursday this time!



#1 A Dark Hotel Room! - I have had a miserable migraine today, so I'm thankful for the curtains being drawn, and the dark room I've been able to fight this misery off with.







#2 2008 Olympics - This has been an incredible Summer Olympics. I have enjoyed so much of it. But I always do. I love every minute of the Olympics from beginning to end. Go Team USA!








#3 Michael Phelps - Thank you Michael for bringing so much talent and joy to our Country! You are a thrill a second!







#4 Uninterrupted Shopping Time - I don't get many uninterrupted time at my favorite store, but I took advantage of one of my evenings here in Atlanta and spent quality time at Target. Now the kids are all ready for school! Whew!






#5 Sleeping Like a Baby - This rarely happens for me...but I'm praying for it tonight!

Breaking Dawn Review - SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Before I start in about "Breaking Dawn" let me put out there some pretty INCREDIBLE news!!!! Lexicon just released that due to the postponement of the release of "Harry Potter 6" to next summer, they are capitalizing and moving up the premiere of "Twilight" to November 21st!!!!! YES YES YES!!!!! I'm sad we have to wait even longer for H.P. but OME...we get two extra weeks and an holiday weekend to watch "Twilight" over and over! Celebrate good times..COME ON!!!!


Okay, so after far too many days and weeks, and nights of falling asleep, I finally finished "Breaking Dawn"!!!! I am anxious to discuss this with all of you who have finished also! Honestly, I am completely torn on this one. I'm afraid that all my building up to loving this book Sooooo much left me open to disappointment. Not to say that there weren't many things that I totally loved in the book, but I found myself not LOVING it more than LOVING it. So finishing it is quite bittersweet for me!


So here it is...my likes/dislikes list of "Breaking Dawn"...


What I liked:


  • The Wedding! This was awesome! I loved that the entire theme was for Edward! Envisioning the entire event was fun also. I loved Alice! And my favorite part was of course Edward seeing Bella for the first time! I loved the gift from Charlie & Renee! And I loved Charlie seeing Bella! Charlie made me cry! Which brings me to my second favorite thing about the book...

  • Charlie! I loved him throughout the entire book! I cried more with his parts of the book than even Edward! I found him very touching and I loved that he didn't have to be broken hearted about Bella "dying!" I also loved that Charlie got a happy ending! Poor guy deserved one!

  • The Honeymoon! I loved every minute of it! I loved the long boat ride out to Esme's Island, and the vision of walking up to the cottage. It was truly written out of a dream-honeymoon come true. And I cracked up over Bella trying to decide which of the Intimate Lingerie that Alice had packed for her to wear for their first night. I nearly died with the vision of Edward waiting in the water for Bella! OME! I loved Edward's concern for her, but also fighting his own wants and needs! Whew! Too much ecstasy for me..NOT!

  • Edward Saving Bella! I could just picture in my mind the fierceness and determination in Edward to save her! He was methodical and full of passion and he was not going to lose her. It was like the scene with James all over again! I loved it! I love him! (Are you sure Nat? Really? Love Edward? No one would ever guess!)

  • Seth! I loved this little wolf! I loved his devotion to the Cullen's, especially Edward, and his complete loyalty to Jacob! He was a great part of this book!

  • Carlisle! I loved that he had a bigger part in this book. I loved his touching conversation with Jacob on the stairs. I loved that Jacob loved him! I loved the deep interactions between him and Edward. And I loved him dismissing Aro at the end!

  • The Cottage! I loved Edward's and Bella's home. I want so much for it to be a real place! I want to go there! And I want the closet and clothes that come with it.

  • Bella's "Awakening" outfit! I loved that Alice had dressed her in a blue satin dress. LOL!

  • Bella Sharing her mind with Edward! What a gift! He finally got to see inside her head! He finally got to see and feel truly how much she did love him, and that he was worthy of her love! Tear tear tear!

  • Bantering between Jacob & Rosalie! Hilarious! I loved every interaction between these two...from her bringing him food in a bowl that she made herself with the work "Fido" etched on the side...to him chucking that very bowl at the back side of her head! Seriously! That was great!

  • And as much as it dismays me to say this...I loved Jacob! At first I was completely put off that he had an entire section of the book dedicated to his POV. But actually, I ended up loving it. I loved the humor he brought to all the situations and I loved his story! I loved when he and Bella FINALLY stopped pining over one another! (I had had enough of that!)

  • So obviously...I loved that finally IMPRINTED on someone! Good grief! I'll say more about the WHO later!

  • Overall...I enjoyed Bella as a vampire! I loved her first trip in the woods with Edward and flying over the river and trees. I loved that she could control her hunger (which I expected all along of her). And of course, I loved her undying infatuation with Edward! (Not that would be difficult). I loved her awakening! It was exactly what I had hoped for! (YES, I have always wanted Bella to be turned! Sorry!)

  • Esme feeding the wolves and offering them a Home! I seriously was crying hard at this! Go figure!

  • Listening to "Breaking Dawn" on Audio vs. Reading it! I was NOT liking the book until I started over and listened to it instead. I am hoping now that I've heard it, that reading it again when I revamp the book will be a better experience!

  • Favorite Edward Moments: Some I've already mentioned, Seeing Bella at the wedding as she came into view; Him stabbing his venom directly into Bella's heart and screaming at Jacob that she is NOT going to die!; Him standing naked in the ocean with the full moon shining on his sparkling white skin, waiting for Bella; Him getting dressed after their "first" time in the cottage; His broken heart after Alice left; The cars he bought for Bella; His anguish over Bella's pain; and Feathers!

What I didn't like:



  • The Wedding! Yes, I know that I said I loved it...but I also felt very strongly that it was ruined by the appearance of Jacob. That realllly pissed me off. It took away from the perfect event happening. I immensely disliked the fact that it took Bella away from Edward and made her start pining over Jacob again. That whole interaction could have happened before the big day if you ask me. That way the day could have been all bliss!

  • The lack of Edward! Once again, I felt like Edward was lost in the shadow of Jacob. Now, yes, I did say that I loved Jacob in this book, but come on...we have all fallen in love with this series, okay, well MOST of us have fallen in love with this series because of EDWARD. I felt like SM just trumped him way too much in this book. I wanted more...much much more!

  • Alice! Or I should say what SM did to her in the book! I really disliked this. Once again I felt like one of the best characters was completely trumped by a character that we didn't know, and one that we didn't necessarily love with Renesme blocking her and silencing her, and Rosalie taking her role as "BFF" and protector of Bella. Didn't like that at all! And her "big scheme" at the end...nope, didn't like that either! I'm glad she came back, but it could have been done so much better!

  • The lack of all the characters that we love! With the exception of Carlisle getting his fair share of time in the spotlight, everyone else just kind of disappeared throughout the book. Emmet for one! Not nearly enough of him! He was just a sidekick throughout the entire book. The wolf pack...all but disappeared at the end! Leah! We finally get to see her side of being a "Shape-shifter" and her finally being accepted and she just disappears. She deserved a better ending! Seth...my favorite wolf, where did he go? We'll never know!

  • Rosalie and Jacob parenting! I mean if we're going to be forced to deal with the whole half-breed situation, then why not let us see Edward and Bella bond more with her. They always seemed to be an afterthought in the entire scenario. I am sure that SM was trying to fulfill Rosalie's need to be a mother, but it was just too weird for me. And why didn't Edward get more time with this kid??? He had existed for nearly 100 years thinking he would never be a father and now he is...and again, their connection, I THOUGHT, was underwhelming at best. The only believable tender moment was when Bella said good-bye to Renesme and Jacob understood what he had to do. The look on Edward's face and Reneseme's and Jacob's as they all knew what was coming was great and touching!

  • The REAL Werewolves! O brother! Totally unnecessary! Shape-Shift this!!!!

  • Oh Reneseme, Nessie, or whatever... This whole thing just didn't work for me. I tried! I really really tried. In fact, when I first realized that Bella was pregnant, and I thought of the opening Preface where she discusses having to be killed by something that she loved so much...I craved for an emotional demise of some sort. I had a first thought that it was going to represent a battle between her and Jacob, but then I realized it was between her and her child...but nothing came of that! The entire pregnancy was way too much like that awesome 80's mini-series "V"! Remember the alien twins! HA HA HA! Yeah, that's all I could envision in my head. So I never became emotionally tied to the baby. I bawled my eyes out when the little green alien baby died. But never shed one tear over NESSIE!

  • The Volturi Battle! OMH! This was the most frustrating part of the whole book for me. I felt like we had gone through a lot to Live through the birth...to live through the imprinting on Reneseme...and so on and so on! But why did we not get to have a battle??? It was SO anti-climatic! Why all the build up of training Bella? Why the build up of hatred between the various Cullen's and the Volturi! Why didn't we get to see any of it come to fruition! I mean I loved the battle between Edward and Victoria in "Eclipse". We were not left hanging in that book...why do that to us in the FINAL episode of the series! I was sooo disappointed! It thought it was awful! It turned way to preachy instead of some kick-butt Vampire battle! I desperately wanted to see Edward take on Demitri, Bella take on Jane, and so on! And for the love...why didn't that annoying ARO die! I'm with the Romanians...completely disappointing!

  • Jacob imprinting on Reneseme...Well I'm going to have to label this as my one "on-the-fence" topics. I am thrilled that he finally imprinted on someone and found his happiness. I'm just not so sure about it being Reneseme. I mean I loved how he protected her, and how she liked biting him...but I think that SM led us to believe that something was happening between him and Leah...and then NOTHING. So I'm torn on this whole thing.

  • And finally, the ONE thing I disliked out of the entire book...Edward's whole Sharing Bella idea! Come on Eddie! I totally did not buy into that whole thing! I was so disappointed! Like I don't have enough Polygamy in my life! Snap out of it Edward!

So that's it...that's my list/review! Overall I enjoyed it, just for the love of the entire series! It definitely is not my favorite, "Twilight" and "Eclipse" will remain in that category forever. But I did like enough because in the end I got what I wanted, Bella with Edward, and Bella as a vampire. I just wish SM had taken us all there in a few different routes! Oh well, there is always FanFics!

Well Post away... I can't wait to hear/read what you all think as well! (I'll be disappointed if you don't!)

Singing in the Rain!!!


This weekend has brought about some wonderful thunder, lightening and rain storms! Much needed moisture in this hot desert valley! It took me until early evening on Saturday to travel home from Atlanta...Yuck! So naturally, I was beat and not up for doing much of anything! And fortunately the rain storms outside were providing me the perfect environment to do just that. Don't you just love those days when you can just remove yourself temporarily from the world and just STOP and listen and watch the rain outside??? Well I do!




The storms continued most of the early evening but then let up. Based on the storms that came later in the evening, this must have been the "Calm before the REAL Storm!" Chris had left Jaxon and I for the evening to go look for a car, and that's when the storms started brewing. However this time, Jaxon and I decided to go outside and watch.



I've spoken of the Grand view we have from our front porch, so we are always in great position to watch the storms roll in and out of the Salt Lake Valley. The thunder was loud and the rain heavy and Jaxon and I were having a blast watch it all take place! As the sun set that is when the real lightening show began. Jaxon and I curled up on our lounge chairs, brought out our individual books that we were reading, popped some popcorn and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in the rain! Jaxon screamed with Excitement every time the skies lit up with lightening! Also, whenever Jaxon is happy and content with the activity at hand, it comes with plenty of "Thank you Mommy for watching the rain with me!" type of comments. Or, "I love you so so big so much in the Rain Mommy!"


Today, while at church another storm came barreling in. You could hear the rain pouring down outside. As I was leaving to head home, I interrupted a very "studious" and "serious" lesson with a group of the most adorable 2 & 3-Year Old Nursery kids! Their teachers were letting them stick their hands out in the rain to feel the drops flowing down! They were squealing with delight. But not nearly as loud as when they told me that I was going to get "BERRY WET!" I said to them all, "You're sooo right!" and I ran out and stood in the middle of the parking lot letting the rain pour on me! They all laughed and laughed...and so did I.


It feels good to see the world through our children's eyes...and this long weekend of rain and fun was just the medicine I had been needing!!!

Thankful Thursday (Late Again!)...I'm seeing a trend here!

Yes, yes, yes...late again! But I have been swamped this week and in my mind today is STILL Thursday, or at least I wish it was Thursday, because I need another whole work day! UGH!


Nonetheless, I am thankful for several things and so here's my list for the week!


1) Connecting...Online! This has been a really cool couple of weeks! Outside of STILL gaining so much joy from blogging and posting messages, I have had the opportunity to reconnect with a few very dear and long-lost friends! It's been incredibly uplifting and so much fun catching up! Also, speaking of blogs...I became all gitty this week when I say that I arrived at 1000+ views on my blog! That's so exciting. I must be doing something right to convince you all to keep coming back! That too gives me energy and something to focus on! So thank you to the Online world and all of you in that world with me!



2) Summertime! I've really enjoyed this summer. Mainly because we skipped last summer! And even though I'm in HOTlanta this week...I've thoroughly enjoyed the warm weather and lovely evenings! And I love having a pool again! Yipee!





3) BFF's! I have had a really rough patch of time lately, and I don't know where I would be without my friends! And not having them around whether I'm in Atlanta, or when I am home in Utah, missing them makes me love them all the more!



4) Smoothies! I have found this AWESOME smoothie joint by my home-away-from-home...and I love it! Every morning this week has started out just right!



5) Inspirational Thoughts! Because I need inspiration in my life more now than ever...I'm thankful for this message that I received today! And now I wish to share it with you!



Each of us, regardless of circumstances, always has the power to make good choices – choices that bring into our lives more of what we want, minimize the things we don't want and honor the woman that we are and the greatness that resides within us.




Following are ten choices that honor your greatness. Perhaps some of them you already are making. Perhaps not. What is essential is that you realize that, regardless of the choices you have made in the past, you are always – I repeat, always – able to begin making new choices that will not only honor you but take you in a new, more meaningful direction in life.

1. Choosing to Take Responsibility
While you can't always control your circumstances you can always choose how you respond to them. No matter what the challenge, you have the power to choose whether to let the world affect you or to go out and affect the world. Resist the impulse to blame your woes on others. Instead, make the decision to own your life and own it fully. Only by taking full and complete responsibility can you ever create a life that you truly love living.

2. Choosing to Live With Integrity
Integrity is the only path in life upon which you never get lost. Placing integrity at the cornerstone of every decision requires a willingness to do what is right above what is convenient or politically expedient. At times this means veering off the safe and comfortable path onto one less traveled, where the risk of failure or disapproval may run high. At other times it calls for you to forge your own path. At its core, integrity is about wholeness and alignment between your deepest values – what you are doing and who you are. And while you may be able to achieve a measure of success without integrity, you will never be able to enjoy the peace of mind and true contentment you seek unless you have restored integrity to every aspect of your life. Will that cost you? Quite possibly. But the cost of not doing so is much steeper.

3. Choosing to Dream Bigger for Yourself and Your Life
You will never be able to have your dream job or live your dream life if you don't first know what it is. Dare to create a vision for yourself and your life that is bigger, much bigger, than the one you've had until now. Embrace possibility in the areas of your life where you feel resignation and demand more from life and yourself. Connect with what truly inspires you and bring a deeper sense of meaning and fulfillment to your relationships, your career and your life in general. Don't be afraid of dreaming too big. The greater danger is not that your dreams are too lofty and you’ll fail to reach them but that they are too small and you will. Your life will be as big as you dare to dream it!

4. Choosing To Be Who You Are
In a world that presses for conformity, it takes courage to be who you are. So express yourself fully and authentically in every relationship and in every encounter you have with others. Give up pretending to be more or less or different from who you are. When you fail to be authentic, you keep from others that which makes you most attractive. When you conform, all that you have to offer others is your conformity. Own those "shadow" aspects of who you are that you wish you didn't have and relinquish the need to prove yourself to anyone – most of all yourself. Be genuine, humble and unpretentious. But most of all, just be yourself. There is nothing more valuable or attractive.

5. Choosing to Speak Up
Dare to speak up and engage in conversations in which you have been reluctant to before. Don't choose the certainty of never addressing an issue or fulfilling your need over the possibility that you may have an awkward conversation or have your request declined. What isn't talked out ends up being acted out and diminishes the quality of your relationships. Speaking up in a way that honors your dignity and the dignity of others builds bridges, enhances trust and deepens the quality of your relationships.

6. Choosing to Take New Actions
Nothing changes if nothing changes. Have the guts to step boldly from your comfort zone to make the changes and take the chances that call you forward to fulfilling your potential. Trade procrastination and excuses for a commitment to being a person who is willing to do what it takes to live the life to which she aspires. Whatever the risks you face in your endeavor, the greatest risk is to take none at all. Fear regret more than failure. Life rewards action.

7. Choosing to Persevere in Adversity
Overcoming the setbacks and failures on the way to your goals is what brings the greatest sense of achievement. Imagine the adversity and setbacks Mother Theresa and other extraordinary women like her must have faced during their lives. Giving in to despair and resignation was not an option they chose. Face your challenges with a deep determination to stay the course. Resist succumbing to resignation in the face of adversity for any goal worth pursuing will require its share of determination and perseverance. Connect with that which makes your spirit soar and remember that it matters not that you reach the summit but that you had the guts to try. It is through perseverance in the face of adversity that the ordinary become extra-ordinary.

8. Choosing to Say No
In the short term, it's generally easier to say yes than to say no, because yes generally pleases others, giving you an instant hit of immediate gratification. However, in the big picture of life, we must sometimes say no to the good to make room for the great. Finding the guts to say no requires first being clear about what you most want to say yes to. Doing so will help you to set boundaries in the midst of being pulled in many directions at once and teach people what you will and will not tolerate. Saying no may never be easy, but the price you pay for not doing so far exceeds any momentary discomfort.

9. Choosing to Open Your Heart Fully
Life's richest fulfillment comes from being as open to experiencing life's pain as deeply as its joy. Opening your heart fully to the depths of emotion that a life well lived calls for takes great courage, but it is the only life worth living. By letting down your defenses and making yourself vulnerable to the anguish that life can sometimes bring, you can experience the joy that comes from connecting with others openly, intimately and compassionately. Drop the barriers that create distance and isolate you from others; reveal your humanity and make yourself available for others to know, to love, to care for and to connect with. Nothing is more nurturing to the spirit.

10. Choosing to Let Go
Serenity comes through giving your best to life while simultaneously detaching yourself from the outcome of your efforts, knowing that everything in life has a purpose and who you are is not defined by your results. Put your faith in the wisdom that created you, trusting that you have within you all that you need at any moment to take on the challenges that life presents you. Giving up resisting what you cannot control and going with, rather than against, the flow of life will make you available to living in the present moment. Let go, knowing that doing so will not impede your ability to achieve what you seek most from life -- it will enhance it.
As ordinary as you may think you are, you possess a unique set of gifts, which you can, if you choose, use to do wonderful things in your life. If you don't do those things, then who will? And if now is not the time to begin, then when? Just imagine the ways you might touch, enrich and inspire the lives of others by honoring your own greatness from this day on. The possibilities are endless!

Breaking Dawn Premiere - No Spoilers...I PROMISE

So out of respect for everyone that has not received their Pre-Ordered copy of "Breaking Dawn", this post will not have any comments or opinions of the book from me! What I wanted to do though was share the pics from the "Breaking Dawn" premiere party at Barnes & Noble. Also, I'm still not quite finished, so I will reserve my review/comments for later...not much later...but definitely later! He He He

Friday night was completely entertaining and lived up to all the hype. There were easily over 2000 people at the Barnes & Noble and I would say a fair percentage of those people were dressed for the "wedding celebration" of Edward & Bella. It was a hoot! 101.9, The End, was there, along with a local news crew! Also, parked out front of the store was Edward's & Bella's honeymoon get-away car!



Inside the store there were numerous wedding reception activities taking place, most of which were impossible to get to due to the store being packed with people, wall-to-wall. I'm pretty sure the capacity of the store was exceeded and we were all trapped in an extreme Fire code violation! At 11:00 p.m. everyone in the store was kicked out and the line was formed to receive our books! The line was as long as the entire mall strip and groups of anxiously awaiting Twilighters were placed in groups of 25! My friends and I were in group 376-400! Ahem...

At the stroke of Midnight, which took FOREVER to come, the entire crowd went crazy, screaming and hollering! At 12:01 a.m. the doors were reopened and the first 50 people were allowed back in the store. With police tape and security guards guarding the doors, everyone left in line, waited for the first group to appear with their books in hand! And that they did...about 10 minutes later, the first group of buyers ran the length of the line waving their books in the air. More screaming and hollering ensued! It was awesome.



Thankfully the line to get in the store moved MUCH quicker than the line to get the wristbands earlier that morning! Whew! It was very hot outside, crowded, and finally reaching the inside of the store again was a great relief! The store was handing out Twilight themed stickers and we quickly moved to our place at the front of the line! Behind the counter there were hundreds of boxes that went from floor to ceiling, and workers busting them open at lightening speed! It was awesome! I grabbed my stack of reserved books and the gang and I headed out of the store!






It was a total blast! And that is it for now...I'm going to get back to the last little bit that I have left. I will say that I'm sad it is going by as quickly as it is. I think I am purposefully not finishing it as quickly as I could just to stretch this out as long as I can!

If by some really ridiculous reason that you don't already have a copy purchased or in the mail coming to you...GET TO IT ALREADY! We have much to talk about!

TTFN!

"Breaking Dawn" is HERE!



OME!!!!!!!!!!!! Today is FINALLY here! I cannot stand it. In less than 22 hours, I will have "Breaking Dawn" in my hands and I will be reading, reading, reading!


These past few weeks have been complete torture with Stephenie Meyer's little "Quotes of the Day" page! One can only imagine and make up their own predicaments of what any of them mean...and it's driving me Crazy!


But all will be well shortly and I am looking forward to every waking moment of reading and completing the Twilight Saga! It's going to be a fantastic Weekend!


My Salt Lake Twilighters and I will be going in early this morning...in about 6 hours to get our wristbands for our place in line at Midnight! Then this evening we will be starting out with a lovely dinner where we can sit and speculate on what is to come! After we are going to head over to the Barnes & Noble where we will participate in the Wedding Reception of Bella & Edward! And finally at 12:01 A.M. we will receive our copies of the book! At that point I will not be able to drive us home quickly enough for our all-night Twilighter-A-Thon! Woo Hoo!


All I can say is that I sincerely hope that Stephenie doesn't ruin this...my alter life...and make it so Bella and Edward do NOT stay in happy marital Vampire Bliss! Sorry you Dog-lovers...Jacob just simply CANNOT win! AHHHH! I can't stand it!


Okay, I'll stop for now! Thanks for enduring my obsession, madness, and LOVE!


GO TEAM EDWARD!!!!!
