TWILIGHT IS AWESOME!

Jessica and I went to see the Twilight Movie last night. We got there around 10:15 for the 12:01 showing. Yes! The very first showing!!! We saw so many of our friends there - that was such a nice surprise. We would have been there earlier except Jessica had two basketball games in Frankfort before she could go to the game.

Wasn't it awesome?! Jessica has read this book 10 times (like she has nothing to do with her time). Can't you tell by the condition of the book. Actually, she has two copies - both are well used.

I personally really liked the movie, although there was A LOT left out that I thought should have been included. I think hearing what Edward could hear would have made it better (like in "What a Woman Wants").

Jessica was texting and talking to her friends at 2:30 am about the movie. Jessica said it was the talk at school - all day!

Jessica lucked out a little bit. Mark and I said she could miss seminary but she could not miss any school. Then, I was reminded by the doctor's office that she had a 8:40 a.m. follow up appointment for her finger. What a lucky girl!!!

The good news is she got an extra 2 hours sleep, and her finger is healing nicely.

I hope you all enjoy Twilight as much as I did -
Remember, Edward isn't real!

Twilight is Coming

Jessica and I are going to see the Twilight movie at midnight on Thursday. She and her friend, I and her friends mother are going to start Friday at 12:01 in the movie theater to see the most anticipated movie since the Harry Potter series.

Jessica has two games earlier that day, so she'll be exausted, but she doesn't care.

She deserves it - she doesn't get into trouble, she is an honor roll student taking an AP class, plus she attends early morning seminary every day, and plays basketball on two teams. I'm so blessed to have such a responsible young lady for a daughter, but I'm even more blessed because she is such a loving and caring person as well. She is pure joy to our family because she makes us all laugh and have fun.

Friends Forever

Best Friends Forever

During the summer, we had some very dear friends come back to Kentucky for a visit. Kathy was my best friend while she lived here, and Jessica and Marissa's are best friends with her two daughter's. It was so wonderful to be reunited. They used to spend almost every minute together when Susannah and Scarlett lived here, and as soon as they were back, the girls were inseperable again. There were a million more giggles that weekend, more splashed in the pool, and definitely more girls staying up too late (hey, it's the summer). It's great to see the girls so close. I believe they will be live long friends.

Jessica was very excited to introduce the "Twilight" series to her friend. Oh-no, another girl hooked on the series.
