The Twilight Saga - I can't believe it's over! As much as I was excited for Breaking Dawn Part 2, I just kept thinking how I couldn't believe this was the last movie. I have had 5 years of Twilight fun and it has been FUN! I have always blamed Kathryn for my addiction to Twilight, she suggested I read the book (back in 2007) and told me it was about vampires, I said "no thanks! I am not reading a book about vampires!" So to convince me to read the book she gave it to me for Christmas. I started reading it and by chapter 3 I was totally hooked! I was reading like a mad women and went and bought New Moon and Eclipse before I even finished reading it. I read all 3 books in 9 days. And I thought I didn't have time to read with 2 kids. Funny how vampires who suck you in can convince you to stay up til 2:00 am reading, and read while you stir noodles and read while your kids are playing in the tub and pretty much read any spare second you can. I had never had so much fun reading a novel before and I honestly hadn't read anything for fun in years, I had forgotten how much I like to read! I have pretty much always been in a book since then. I love having a little escape from reality for a few minutes (or hours, you know, depending on the obsession) everyday. So I'm thankful to Kathryn and I'm thankful to Stephanie Meyer for getting me back into reading for fun. I have read a lot of great books in the last 5 years, but I will say the Twilight Series have been my favorite for sure. Nothing like the thrill of reading it for the first time, if you haven't read them yet, you should.
I have had such a fun time seeing the movies with our friends, a little trip down Memory Lane....
Kathryn & Me at Twilight, November 21st, 2008 in our 1st matching shirts, "Twilight Vampires are Forever" (they were awesome!)
Lynds, Kathryn, Me and Mel at New Moon, November 20th, 2009, in our funny matching shirts, "My heart belongs to Ryan (husband's name), but my neck belongs to Edward." I love this picture, one of my favorites to this day, love these girls so much!
Tonya, Me, Kendra, Kathryn, Staci S., Angie, Lynds, Staci D., Annette at Eclipse, June 30th 2010. Lynds, Kathryn and I had shirts that said, "6.30.10 Eclipse My Vampire Awaits". We had had it with the iron on that year, that's when we came up with our awesomeness of Breaking Dawn....
And Here is a look at our fun gang for the big finale - Breaking Dawn Part 2, November 16th, 2012!
Such a fun night! I loved the movie! I think this one was my favorite one, they did a great job wrapping it up! Probably the most intense 10 minutes of my life too! Ok not my life, just my novel/fantasy life. Glad everyone can live happily forever! Thanks gang for 4 years of movie fun! It's been a blast! What now??!!

what a fun tradition! so glad you have such good friends (and husbands!) to share your passion. :)
Have you heard of "Hush, Hush?" Similar style, fallen angels and demons rather than vampires. I read it for a YA lit class. There are a couple of books in the series.
