Twighlight


So, last night at 12:30 (the 11:59 p.m. showing was sold out a month before it came out) I went to see Twighlight along with my sister, her friend, and all sorts of other people(yes there were some men and boys there), most of who were completely obsessed and all decked out in Twighlight attire. I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to stay awake (those of you who know me know my problem with movies) but I am proud to tell you all that this movie was SOOOO good, staying awake was not even a problem! In fact, I stayed up until about 3:30 thinking about the movie and wasn't even tired. I was a bit skeptical when I first saw the trailers and 1st finished scene, thinking they didn't choose the "right" Bella, and especially not the "right" Edward, but oh was I WRONG. They chose the PERFECT Bella and Edward, as well as the rest of the characters. I was very pleased with the way the movie turned out. I especially loved that as you watched the movie, you felt the same way you did as you read the book. They did a great job! If you are debating to see the movie or not, I would say definitely go....and I hope you like it as much as I did!
I can't wait for New Moon to come out!

Happy Halloween...late of course!

I was meaning to post this Friday night, but a few days later, here are some pictures of our costumes for the year.
Ian decided that this year he was going to be something other than the pink flamingo, so what he came up with this year was......
Hannah Montana.

A friend at work gave me the idea to be Billy Ray Cyrus, so that is what I ATTEMPTED to be- although I looked more like just a boy of some sort.

Anyway, there are a few things I loved about Ian's choice of costume:
1. When Ian went to try on the skirt (he found it at a Ross in Provo) the guy who was in charge of the dressing rooms didn't even know how to handle it when Ian held up the skirt and asked for a number. And then when Ian decided he was going to buy the skirt, how much more mind blown the guy was. It was a good one!
2.When Ian lifted up his arms, the armpit hair coming out of his shirt, along with the facial hair-it made for a nice white trashy version of the teenage idol.3. Not only did Ian wear an old bra, but he tried to stuff it to be just the right size of a 15/16/17 (however old she is) girl. Do you think he was accurate? Ha ha.

Halloween was fun. Ian and Franz went on their annual ride in their flamingo costumes...

After he made it safely home, we went up to my parents for awhile. Jordan in his cowboy costume.

Marissa as a puppy, and Gramps as himself.

Jacob as a scary scarecrow.

After that we stopped at some friend's Halloween party. Hope you all had a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
