Thought for the Day


"Oh, it is wonderful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us - even with all our flaws! His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will. We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever. Although we might settle for less, Heavenly Father won't, for He sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming."

- Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Yes, I was There!

last night, at midnight - Dickenson's Palm Valley Theatre. We had such a fun group of people for our Twilight movie!!! When Edward first came onscreen there was a bunch of middle aged women whistling and cat calls. :) We had fun!!! Mela and I smiled at each other during the good parts and I'd looked back at times to see Cat smiling. We were all wondering if Becky would have to take Becky to the hospital (dilated to a 3, now that's DEVOTION)! :) I couldn't see much of April, Wendi, or NiKole during the movie but we all chatted after.
Thank You Ladies for such a fun, time!! :)

Now for those of you that haven't gone yet and are wondering how it was, I'll tell you that I'm not a picky movie person. Although Clone Wars and Batman & Robin were my limits! :)
I thouroughly enjoyed Twilight!! No movie is as good as the book in my opinion - I'm a reader. (shrug) But there is also something fun about seeing it visually as well.
Now of course there was cheese (and I'm not talking about the nachos), there were parts that weren't very well done. And the running parts were a little goofy BUT (always, a big butt) I loved it. :)
Edward was a hottie, Jacob was NOT!!! Jasper was also surprisingly HOT!!! :) Rosalie looked like an 80's streetwalker though - I was disappointed. Alice was very cute! Bella was very gloomy - I was also disappointed in her always confused, grumpy mood.
I liked the dynamic feelings though. It was very intense. I liked that. :)
So my opinion, if you critic and tear apart movies, don't go. You won't enjoy it. If you can just enjoy a movie for what it's worth then go. I loved it and would like to go again. :)
Thanks Mela for sharing it with me! I had fun giggling with you over the exciting parts! :)

You thought Jasper was hot? He had crazy hair. I loved the movie and didn't analyze it as much as you. I would have loved it to have been longer. It went by too fast. I'll be seeing it again.

Thanks for going! I had a lot of fun. I thought Jacob was cute though too. :0) We'll have to pull another midnight movie someday, but right now I am still trying to recoup from the other night. YOu might need to give me about 6 months.

Like I told you Steph, I got to go with mom...dad went too (special viewing). Pretty COOL! You'll need to read about it on the blog. Dad and I were the only two people who hadn't read the book in the whole place. It was pretty funny. But I really did like it. And maybe, just MAYBE (and thats a BIG maybe)...this non-reader might read that BIG, FAT, LONG BOOK:)BUT I wouldn't hold our breath for that one.:-)
