Twilight Review

So I might get some death threats after posting this, but I was kinda disappointed. I went into the movie knowing it wasn't going to be anywhere near as good as the book. But, there are other movies made from books (that aren't as good as the book) but I've still really liked those movies. Twilight was ok, but I can't say that I really loved it. I might like it more the next time I watch it. That's happened before, when Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire came out I hated it the first time I saw it, but after watching it a couple times, it's one of my favorite in the series. I think that happens sometimes with movies from books because you have a certain idea in your head of what you're expecting and then it turns out different. I did like the 2nd half of the movie better than the 1st half. I just thought the first was really choppy. I don't want to say too much and spoil it for anyone. I just thought they put too many scenes in that weren't needed and speeded through more important scenes that should've been longer. Which made it so there wasn't great character development. Overall I thought it was good, don't get me wrong, it wasn't so horrible I wanted to walk out, (though I do think my mother-in-law was close) but it just wasn't as great as I hoped it would be. Just have to wait and see if I like it better the next time I see it. What are your thoughts who have seen it?

The rest of the night was a lot fo fun though. We went to eat at Iggy's and then went to the movie. Here are some pics :)

Dinner at Iggy's.

Hanging out waiting for the show to start. Of course we were the last group to check in and got the front row :) But the seats weren't bad and we didn't have to wait in line for 2 hrs to get the tickets. 2 of our poor friends had to sit on the floor though. The diagram of the theatre they gave us had 3 extra seats in the front row, that weren't really there. They claim they wouldn't have sold us tickets that didn't have seats, but as all the rest of the seats were full??

Today's the Day

It may appear that I am a crazed Twilight fan, but I'm really not :) I do like it very much, but I just came across this background and had to put it on for one day in honor of today :) Funny crazed fan story though. When Breaking Dawn came out a group of us had a girl's night and went to dinner and a movie and then went to get the book at midnight at Barnes n Noble (which I don't suggest, Walmart has the release thing figured out :) ). Well the lady standing next to us in line was saying how she was on the freeway and there was an accident, (I'm sure it was some other crazed fan getting a little too anxious) so traffic was really backed up. So, this lady leaves her friend (whos driving thankfully) in the car on the freeway and hiked like a mile+ up the freeway and off the ramp and walked to Barnes n Noble!! She said she was considering trying to hop the freeway fence, but then decided it wasn't that much farther to walk the ramp!! So I am a fan, just not all sorts of crazy :)

Just an FYI

So I thought I should just make a little note and explain why so many of the comments people are leaving me are being deleted. I'm not being rude by deleting them and people aren't leaving me rude or weird comments. I've been blog hoping lately and have found a ton of old friends, yeah I've been so excited :). But, they have been leaving comments with their email address and out of courtesy I have been deleting them so their email isn't posted on my blog for all to see :) Just thought I'd explain real quick so people don't think anything weird :) And also to let anyone know that if you do leave me your email to invite me to your blog or something, I will delete it for you as soon as I see it. I saw on some elses blog where after you leave a comment it has to be reviewed by the author before it's allowed to show up on the blog. Does anyone know how to do this that can explain it to me? I'm not very computer savy, but I'm big on the whole privacy protection and I think that would be an even more secure way for people to leave me any personal info. Thanks!

SO EXCITED!!!!

So I just had to leave a little tid bit to say that only 3 more days until Twilight comes out!! I'm so excited. A girl at my work knows someone who rented out an entire theatre for the midnight showing so I was able to get some tickets!! I'm excited for a girls night out too. We are going to go out to eat first and then all go to the movie. Should be FUN!! I'll post my review after :)

Daddy's Proudest Moment

Adam has been plotting to teach Landon to skate since about 2 seconds after we found out we were pregnant. He was convinced we were having a boy right away and he always said he was going to skate before he could walk. Well when his first birthday rolled around we thought about getting him skates but then decided we would wait a little while since he still wasn't the greatest walker. That was when we decided to make the 2nd birthday the hockey birthday. I know it isn't his birthday yet, but he is 2, he will forget about the helmet and it will be a surprise when he opens it on his birthday :) He was just so cute trying it on in the store I had to bring him home and take pictures.

OOOOUUUCH!!

Can you say ouch! So, Adam and I have started doing P90X again and I am so sore! If you have never heard of P90X you should go onto beachbody.com and check it out. It's a hard core fitness program where you do these intense workouts 6 days a week for 3 months. We did it once before and did it everyday for 2 months but then I got sick and we both kinda stopped. But we've started up again and that's why I've been slacking on the blog, so sorry :) been too busy working out. Adam wants to post our before and after pictures, but I told him it depends on what my after picture looks like if I'm brave enough to post the before pic :) We'll see.

Landon and "Unca Gake"

For Halloween we went and Trick or Treated at Grandma and Grandpa Flynn's and then went up to Grandma and Grandpa Sawyer's. I finally got my cheese soup! Yeah!! Thanks Kathy it was delicious as always. Landon was intriqued with the pinball machine and spent most of the night on top of it watchng whoever was playing. Landon loves his uncle Jake and was in his shadow most of the night. Today it was so cute because he kept climbing on the back of the couch and pointing to Jake in the family picture and saying "Unca Gake, Unca Gake"
