I recently began reading the Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer and was instantly hooked. I just love these books. I also got my best friend Becca into reading them as well....and she and her sister are just as hooked! SO we thought it would be fun to go to the midnight party for the release of the final book. We went to the last midnight party for the Harry Potter books and had such a great time, so we decided to do this one too. We pre ordered our copies and then waited for Friday. I drove down Friday and BEGGED Becca to go clothes shopping with me because I absolutely DESPISE it...lol! (For those of you that don't know I have lost a little over 30lbs now and refused to buy new clothes...you know it is bad when your friends and family tell you that you HAVE to go shopping because you look AWFUL...I know I did, but I HATE clothes shopping). Anywho, we decided to go a little early and get some clothes shopping in so I had a chance to get a few things before school starts back...or I would have been wearing exercise clothes to work...not a good look. We got to the mall close to 7pm and decided to run through the bookstore to see when they were going to hand out the arm bands (we waited to late for Harry Potter and were number 150-151 after the 783 people that had reserved books...YIKES), but this time they said..."Oh, right now." No kidding! We were numbers 1,2, and 3 in line to get our books...how fun is that! I then went shopping. I found some cute clothes and it was so nice to have someone that has an actual opinion go shopping with you...made it SOOOO much easier! We then went to the midnight party and here are a few pics from the evening...
This is me and my best friend Becca:
This is Becca's sister (also a good friend of mine) Beth:
It's Me!
We are definitely on Team Edward (sorry if you don't get it...it is about the book)
And no these aren't gang signs this is us...being total dorks and showing our numbers in line...lol!
After the party we drove through the all night mickey d's to get some big sweet teas for the caffeine rush...to keep us awake longer! Then headed to Becca's house to hunker down and read for the night. Of course, Becca's brother Ed was there and I totally argued with him for several hours before I began reading. Then about 4am I started reading and didn't go to sleep. I finally finished the book sometime that afternoon. I then got in a little more shopping for a couple of items that I didn't get the night before and then headed to Smyrna for dinner with Chas and Amber! It was so nice getting to hang out with them...then we went to Amber's house and worked on organizing some stuff...finally I took Chas home about 1am (I think...after 40hrs of no sleep it was hard to tell what time it was). I then went to my parents and crashed a little before 2am. Austin then woke me up at 8:30am and I went swimming with him and worked on some geneology stuff with my dad. Finally, about 5pm we headed to Knoxville...and I had to fight to keep myself awake...blech! We made it home a little after 9pm and I made myself stay up until 11pm....then I crashed...ahhh! Finally, a good nights sleep :) Good thing too because I started back to work this week...ugh!
