I'm Back, Sooner Than I Thought I Would Be

By the way, this is my 50th post. It seems like a few blogs I look at have hit a milestone in the past week.

On Friday I got a call from my friend Lara asking me if I had received Breaking Dawn in the mail since I preordered it. I told her, "No. People shouldn't get them until tomorrow, right?" And she said, "I got mine this morning. I'm on page 100." OH MY GOSH! I wanted to drop the phone and run over to her house to steal her book from her. Then I looked online to see when my book had been shipped. It said "preparing to ship your order" and also that my estimated delivery date was August 6. WEDNESDAY! There was no way I was going to wait until Wednesday, so I decided to try to get a book at the release party I went to that night with Ashley at Barnes and Noble.

Do you like our shirts? They say, "Forks, WA - Makin' It Sprinkle So You Don't Sparkle." (Thanks for pointing this one out to me, Valerie.) The release party was crazy. There were a ton of people at Barnes and Noble. Ashley and I were two of the oldest people there, but it was a lot of fun. We did a scavenger hunt for trivia questions from the books that could get us a spot in the front of the line for a book. Since Ashley had her copy reserved, we did the contest for me. We didn't win. (Ashley, I saw something online today that said "Edward Anthony Masen Cullen". I was wrong.) But I still got a copy of Breaking Dawn by waiting in the stand by line.

I finished reading my book yesterday, and I have to say it's my favorite of the whole series. Stephenie Meyer ended it really well. It is full of crazy things that happen, and I love every part of it. I can't wait to read it again. I still haven't received my preordered copy. Kevin and I plan to give that copy to his little sister Melissa who just recently became a fan. Lucky girl. She didn't have to do any waiting for sequels.

I'm so glad I didn't wait. I would be going absolutely nuts by now. Now I can't wait to get caught up on all of your lives.
