Twilight Bitches!!

doing: sitting at the in-laws after a very enjoyable Thanksgiving day!
listening to: the family chatting about Mikes brothers.
feeling: full and hungry at the same time!!

first off-Twilight the movie. i have been looking forward to this movie FOREVER! ever since Shan got us hooked on the books i've been crazy for them! so Matt and i finally FINALLY got out of town to see it last night(wednesday) in I-town. we sat, we watched and we LOVED!! it is just wonderful! i loved it!

okay, i had absolutley NO pre-conseptions about the movie going into it. i figured that if they got the characters rigth and followed the story at least for the most part it would turn out good. sure sure, some stuff was changed, but they had to be. not everything was exactly like the book, but it was in the general direction of the book. the characters were cast GREAT! matt and i both thought that they did a great job with casting! and, also, i'd agree that Kristin Stewarts performance could have been stepped up a knotch, she wasnt exactly like i pictured Bella in the way that she acted.

all in all, i don't care what anyone else says. if people think that the movies should be EXACTLY like the books then they should start footing the bills for the movies... oh yeah, and be able to sit though a 4 hour production.. because thats about how long it'll be!!

loved it!!


whew......!

and now for the rest of my life. the most exciting thing is that our friend Shan Varn is back in Kville!! yeay! we five girls got together on saturday night and it was so fun! we talked and snacked for hours! just like old times! then on tuesday i asked Shan to come to Pella and be my model for the afternoon! it was fun and she just hung out and talked with Jeff and i.... Shan... i'm sorry again about my boss!! :) it's been great to have her around! and once Terri gets her act together and gets text messaging and perhaps a FaceBook page(yeah right) we'll all be connected once again!! i'm hoping that we'll get a chance to go out again this weekend again before she goes back to Mexas. and Shan, we promise that someday we'll save enough money to come and visit you! or meet you in Vegas, or a cruise.... or the Carribbean!!!

and now, Thanksgiving is over. it was wonderful and lazy and delicious!! we are off to hang out with the Heckmans who are over at my parents house and eat pizza. that's how the Croghan's do Thanksgiving!! haha!!
i hope you all had a good day!!

have a great lloonngg weekend!!
