Twilight...Finally

So Chris & I finally went to see Twilight last night! I do have to admit it wasn't as good as the book (are the movies ever as good as the book?). Anywho.., I still love Edward and I love Rob Pattinson in the movie I just don't like him in real life. A girl can dream though that Edward does actually exist and that him and Bella are real & alive somewhere. :) Ok I know I'm just being a silly girl who has an infactuation on an invisible character. ha ha! I now cannot wait for New Moon to come out I heard it will be released November 20, 2009. How exciting!

P.S. Did ya'll see Stephanie Meyer (author of Twilight) was in the movie as well??

Our weekend....

Ok so I caught a cold from my co-workers and started feeling it Friday morning. I hate being sick especially when it's in my sinus's (did I spell that right) it feels like my head is going to burst any minute. Anyway, Saturday I bundled up and went to dinner with my best friends Katelyn, Rachel & Shantelle. We decided to go to the Red Rock Brewery in Salt Lake and other then the parking being absolutely ridiculous the place had extremely good food. After dinner we headed to Temple Square (pictures to come) to see the Christmas Lights(note: next year do NOT go on a Saturday!!!). It was so busy we had to wait until their was a clearing in the crowd to get pictures in front of the reflection pond and let me tell you what that was a bit harder than it sounds people are so oblivious to others. Everytime we would get a clearing we would be about to take the picture and somebody would walk right in front of us and they would be in our picture. We definitely had a blast though and I love those girls to death I don't know where my life would be without them.



I then attempted to drive home after leaving the girls and I got on I-80 to go to I-215 because that only takes me about 10 minutes to get to my house. Well me being an idiot missed the I-215 entrance and started to head for Wendover. There was no place to turn around so I had to keep going until I hit Magna (not sure where that is) so instead of a 10 minute drive it took me an hour to get home. Needless to say I learned my lesson and now I know my way around that area.



Sunday, Chris called in sick (he had the 24 hour flu) and we both slept in bed and watched movies ALL DAY! Finally at about 3:00 we both got up and I started doing laundry (luckily the house was still clean so I didn't have to do much cleaning) and I made rolls and hot chocolate and we watched The Christmas Shoes.....

It is definitely a sad movie but it makes you realize what Christmas is really about. Chris and I cuddled on the couch w/ Kyra on top of us. Then after we bundled up and decided we needed to get out of the house and Kyra was getting annoyed with us just sitting at home all day. So we loaded her up in the truck and went and got hot chocolate and drove around and saw all of the Christmas lights around our blocks. There is one street that reminds me of Deck The Halls (great movie).

Anyway....that was our weekend. Now it's back to work and the count down is on to Christmas in Moab. I cannot wait!!!

Love,

Christmas Poem

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight. My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,Transforming the yard to a winter delight. The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve. My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream. The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear. Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then thesure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,And I crept to the door just to see who was near. Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight. A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child. "What are you doing?" I asked without fear,"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here! Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts.. To the window that danced with a warm fire's lightThen he sighed and he said "Its really all right, I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night.""It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,That separates you from the darkest of times. No one had to ask or beg or implore me,I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me. My Gramps died at 'Pearl on a day in December,"Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers."My dad stood his watch in the jungles of 'Nam',And now it is my turn and so, here I am. I've not seen my own son in more than a while,But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile. Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,The red, white, and blue... an American flag.I can live through the cold and the being alone,Away from my family, my house and my home. I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat. I can carry the weight of killing another,Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..Who stand at the front against any and all,To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall." " So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,Your family is waiting and I'll be all right.""But isn't there something I can do, at the least,"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?It seems all too little for all that you've done, For being away from your wife and your son." Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,"Just tell us you love us, and never forget. To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,To stand your own watch, no matter how long.For when we come home, either standing or dead,To know you remember we fought and we bled.Is payment enough, and with that we will trust, That we mattered to you as you mattered to us."

Great Statement!

Four Christmases

Chris' dad Curt was in town the past 2 days and we absolutely love having him in town because we always go out to dinner and we get a night out and we have a part of his family with us (even if it is only for a day or so).

Well last night we decided to go to Iggy's at Jordan Landing and then we went and saw Four Christmases. I was laughing so hard I seriously thought I was going to pee my pants. There are a few parts (WARNING SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEEN IT ) where a baby throws up on Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn starts dry heaving and his facial expressions and the way he pretended to dry heave was killing me! I was laughing so hard I started snorting! If you haven't seen this movie it definitely is worth seeing especially if on Christmas or any other holiday you feel like you never get to relax because you have to rush rush rush to get to all of the family in just one day!

Here are a few movie frames...

The person on the left is Tim McGraw he plays one of Vince Vaughn's brothers

Vince Vaughn & Reese Witherspoon trying to skip Christmas

This is one of the scenes where the baby throws up on Reese and Vince's face kills me!

The Cover! Reese is so short!!!

Go and see this movie it is great!!

Love,
