I bought the book Twilight awhile back because I've heard so much about it I wanted to find out what the fuss was all about, but I kept putting off reading it because it sounded kinda dumb to me. I think because I was so determined not to like it, I hated the first chapter and almost didn't read anymore. I say almost because it hooked me after that and I stayed up till 2am reading! (Yup, I got 4hrs of sleep last night, the hardest thing about being an adult is telling myself when to go to bed). I've only read the first 150 pages, but so far I looove the Edward character! I even went back and re-read the Edward parts at lunch today before continuing on :)
When I think about it I always like Edward characters. I love Edward Rochester in the book "Jane Eyre", and the Edward in "Sense and Sensibility". When I was in college my 3 roomates all left to go home for a three day weekend. (I lived to far away to go home, and I had an old car running on hamsters that wounldn't have made the trip anyway.) So I had a movie marathon and one of my roomates had an edited (TV recording) of Pretty Woman. I must've watched that 3 times that weekend cuz I loved the Edward guy, I even went to the mall and pretended like I had Richard Gere's credit card (the part where she goes shopping) and I tried on everything I liked at Ann Taylor and Bannana Republic just for fun. (I couldn't really buy anything).
Of course I think the hottest most charming Edward is the one I married! I love reading in my journal about our first dates. He still makes my heart flutter!
Katie LOVES lucky charms! Whenever she hears me pour a bowl she skids into the kitchen. She waits till I turn to the fridge to get the milk, then she'll hop up on the counter -paw out a few marshmellows and race off before I can scold her for being up there.
My dad is very light skinned. He freckles in the sun and burns very easily -so he never goes on any outdoor adventures without one of his floppy brimmed straw hats! (He was pretending to be a pirate on this rafting trip last yr -that's why he has the goofy eye patch on, he even talked in Pirate lingo with words like 'matey' and 'aaargh' :) I appreciate the fact that he is skin cancer conciouse now, but when I was growing up I was always a little embarrased that he insisted on wearing his farmer John's hat, and he often tried to get us to wear one too! I love my Dad so much!.........Now to preface the next picture I need to explain a little about my brother Jay. He is one year younger than me and has low functioning Autism. He is the sweetest boy and I love him so much! He has a hard time understanding the purpose of things. For example, my mom taught him how to empty the dishwasher -so then he started putting all the dishes he found away in the cubbords -clean or dirty, and regardless of whether you were done eating your meal or not. All he understood was that "dishes go in cubbords". So she tried to reverse it by teaching him h
