Breaking Dawn Frenzy

I realize this will be one of many blogs about Breaking Dawn around the neighborhood, but I believe we all have somewhat of a different experience of it. Friday night beginning at 8:30 p.m., Barnes and Noble held their release party for Stephenie Meyer's final book in the "Twilight" series. Can I say major mess?! Don't get me wrong, it was way fun, but talk about crowds of people! I can also say I've seen some of the worst prom dresses in my life. Anyway, I arrived pretty early on and the first people I ran into was Mindi and her crew wearing their "Edward's a polygamist, right?" shirts. I was totally jealous (and I still want one) and then Jaqui, Jen, and others came. I was glad to see friends. When Angela came, it was all complete! There were games everywhere, no place to sit down and hours of waiting. By the time the night was over, my feet were killing me! It was all worth it to get the book though. Unfortunately, once they started selling the book at midnight, the line was long. Fortunately, I had my cute little wristband, but I was in the 800s. I didn't end up getting my book until 1:15 a.m. That didn't stop me from reading it until 3:00 a.m.! I finished it last night and can I just say how much I love it?! I can't stop thinking about Edward and Bella-and they aren't even real!!!!! Someone commisserate with me that this saga is over! Stephenie Meyer better write more books just as good as these ones or I will cry!!! By the way, those involved with the huge group picture we took outside, I am still expecting a copy!

Aren't Jaqui and Mindi the cutest?

Yes, this was our place in line. We had great conversations though!
