Done


I LOVED IT SO MUCH!! AND JACOB FINALLY WON ME OVER, BUT ONLY A LITTLE BIT! ~To clarify, I only liked Jacob in the end because he finally got off of Bella's back and was a FRIEND in the end. I never liked the fact of the love triangle. Edward is wayyyyyyyyyyy better in my humble opinion. Book 1 is my favorite book out of the whole saga, and I love the 263 pages of Midnight Sun, which is Twilight in Edward's perspective. You can view it here at Stephanie Meyer's website:



Scroll down to partial draft, as she said that she won't publish the actual book now because it was leaked onto the Internet early. (VERY SAD!)

Humidity Sucks!!!!

Hey everyone! Yesterday I actually took a break from reading, I know, amazing, but I kind of had to go to church. Well, I have made a couple of assessments of things that do not go well together.

Hot and Humidity are NOT the same thing, and put them together and it is even worse.

On a Hot and Humid day and there is no AC, it sucks.

Our Branch meets at the local high school. On Saturday we had a major storm roll through here and it knocked out the power in the area. Well no one remembered to reset the AC at the school until 10 minutes before church started. Outside it was already in the 80's with 75% humidity. Inside the school there were no windows to open to let any breezes in so it was very heavy and sticky for the whole 3 hours. At the end of church it looked like I had just gone swimming because my hair was soaked from sweating so much. I told the Branch Presidency that in AZ if the AC is out that school was canceled. The actually got a kick out of it since we meet at the school.

Yesterday at church I also finally had a "moment" of happiness with teaching singing time. The Jr. Primary kicked butt with singing and had a ton of fun doing it too. In Sr. primary there were only 4 of them but 1 of the boys actually sang so it was nice to have everyone finally participate.

Of Course, after church I ate and then went back to reading. I am loving the 4th book very much, but it is incredibly long!

Also a couple of weeks ago my visiting teaching partner and I had a luncheon with one of our people who is not active at all. I think we struck a very good chord with her cause she has been attending church now, and yesterday she made 2 huge helpings, like 2 9x13 size helpings of homemade Lasagna for my partner, whom she knew was having financial difficulty and was living off of food storage to get by for a family of 6. Anyhew, my partner invited me over tonight for Family night, since Matt will be out of town for training, and to enjoy some of the yummy fruits of our labors. That's really all that is going on, but I just wanted to share that last part cause that has never happened to me before, where I actually made a difference.

Man oh Man

I am now in Breaking Dawn. I will say this, Book 2 is so far my least favorite. No Edward, and I do not like Jacob. His is a big thorn is my side. See ya's all later!

On To The Next

Ok so in 24 hours I managed to finish Twilight and 24 hours after that I obtained my own copy of New Moon and have managed to complete that too. Now on to the Next one, Eclipse. This as you could tell is my weekend project. I am absolutely in love with this series. It has brought back so many memories of my first major infatuation in High School, but with out him liking me and all. Anyhew. I LOVE IT!

My Goodness

So I have had this book for about 12 hours now and I am having a very difficult time putting it down to go to sleep. I am over 300 pages into the book now and I am anxiously wanting to sleep and wake up early to start reading it again. I am so pathetic!!!! But I am totally loving the book so far!

I Am A Sheep

Ok, so I have been hearing from many people how amazing this book series is and I decided that I will join the bandwagon and start the Twilight Series. So today after getting new tires and a tune up on Daisy, I headed to Barnes and Noble and picked up my very own copy of Twilight. And many of you know that I do not read often so this is a major feat for me to actually try to get into a new series that is not Harry Potter. I'll keep you posted.

9/11


Do you remember how you felt? Or how about where you were when you found out about the planes crashing into the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon and United 93? Do you remember how the day felt? I do. I remember being more scared than I have ever felt in my life. This day 7 years ago today was a day like no other. Everything just stood still, even when I went to class at ASU everything just felt different. Remember your feelings and don't forget to show your colors today.
