Good read...

At the risk of repeated what you have heard or read on every other blog out there. I am going to share my opinion of Twilight, by Stephanie Meyer.
First off if you don't like it you can stop reading now. I read Twilight (or in my case listened to it on cd) a month ago. I really liked it. It was a quick, easy read. I loved the story and I liked that it was just enjoyable and not heavy. I was hesitant to read it at first because of the sci-fi element to it but decided to believe my friends who LOVED it. I am so glad I did. I highly recommend it. I think it really appealed to me because the thoughts and feelings bring me back to my high school years, young love.
A few weeks past and I finally got a copy of New Moon (yeah I am too cheap to buy the books). This time I read the book instead of listening to it on my ipod (while I work out or clean). I found it much easier to read this way. I missed a lot less! If I liked Twilight I loved New Moon. This was bad week for me so I decided to force myself to not read it too fast. So I got the most exciting part (the whole book is pretty exciting) and then I made myself wait to finish it till after the funeral etc... This way I had something to look forward to. I finished it on Thursday. It was great! I am officially an now addict too. I am actually rereading Twilight because I think listening to it made me miss a lot of it. My sister was buying the third book today so I hope to read it soon. I just haven't decided when to read it. Book 4 does not come out till August! It is also being made into a movie that comes out in December.

Anyway... thats my two cents on the series. Love them.

I wanted to answer a few comments. First on the bear in yellowstone. He was NEVER that close to me or anyone I loved. Holy crap no. That picture was taken with a nice ZOOM lens. If you look at the pictures with my kids you can see he is down a ravine. That was close but not dangerous.

Thank you again for all your sweet thoughts about my Grandma. It makes me feel so good to share her with you and know that she is remembered in some way. Stay tuned for my contest. I have been overwhelmed for a while and I promise its coming! School gets out next week and then summer will be in full swing. I wonder if the sunshine and warm weather is here to stay? It's really been a cold wet spring around here.
