Twilight

If you've been reading my blog at all, you know how excited I was to go to a Midnight showing of Twilight opening night. Unfortunately, I didn't buy my tickets as quickly as I needed to and was left stranded. That was, until, I realized there was a brand new movie theater only a block from my house that was just about to open and likely had not sold out of their Twilight tickets. Thinking I was pretty smart, I drove over there 3 days prior to the theater opening and bought enough tickets for some friends and family members. Knowing there would be long lines, we decided to show up 2 1/2 hours before Midnight. What we didn't count on was our theater seating for the movie WAY before we got there. My initial thought was, "Great! We don't have to wait outside!" A fraction of a second later, however, reality set in and I thought, "Oh no, we're going to awful seats!" I was right on both accounts. You can just call us all Front Row Joes.

Melissa and Natalie passing the time until the movie started.

Me and my friend, Laurie, and her friend Kami. I love the look on Laurie's face. :)

My mother-in-law, Joyce, and sister-in-law, Natalie, also came with us, but we were done with pictures by the time we got there. Sorry, guys.

It was a lot of fun to be among the first to see Twilight, and I really liked the movie. I'm trying to talk Jared into seeing it with me now. He doesn't want to see it since I've already seen it even though I promised not to make a peep the whole time. We'll see who wins out in the end. I just heard today that they are set to start production on New Moon, so we'll all have to do it again in a couple of years!

I took Tori to the midnight show, and we loved it!!! We are on Team Jacob. Seeing the movie, I forgot how much I like Edward, too. Everyone screamed for Edward and Carlisle.
