Well, I have to say that I myself have not yet read the Twilight books as of this moment but Ashley has read them all and loved them!!! She was so excited when she heard the movie was coming out for Twilight and started the countdown on the days til in theaters! Well as the day approached she was told that tickets were sold out for the first night, weeks in advance! I think that devastated her thinking that she would have to wait for a long time to get to see the movie.
Last night we (Kevin, Adrian, Ashley, Samuel, David, and myself) all loaded up into the truck after dinner and drove to Roosevelt to see the movie!!! I had called the theater earlier on in the day and was told what time to get there to guarantee a ticket, we left the house almost 3 hours before the movie was to start!!! Ashley was not in on it at all, everyone else in the truck knew about what we were going to do. We all told Ashley that we were going to McDonald's for an ice cream sundae, and she bought it!!! When we got there I stopped at the ATM across the street from the theater and had Ashley come with me. She still had no ides all the way up until I told her not to get back into the truck but instead walk across the street with me to buy the tickets!! As we were walking she said she could skip!!!
Well, as it turned out we were still to early to buy the tickets so we did get the ice cream sundaes while we were waiting. We were given stickers to show that we were in line for the tickets before they were actually on sale, this way it guaranteed we would get tickets!!
Finally the tickets were on sale and we bought them, you should have seen the excitement on Ashley's face!! I forgot my camera or I would have taken a picture of it!! We still had about an hour wait after the tickets were purchased, that part was real boring!!! David bought a hat for 10 dollars that said Twilight Girl on it and then tried to shape it to make it look more manly!! That was kind of funny! The show before us emptied and it was amazing the number of people that poured out of the theater!! It is just a small one so it just seemed like we were breaking the fire code!! We were able to get good seats since we were the first one's in the line so that makes any movie that much better. Having not read the book I am not aware of all the things that happened that they did not put in the movie, but according to Ashley, "the movie makes the buck look like a pamphlet!" I guess I will have to read the books now!! The movie was good so for anyone that is into the book, you should go see the movie (if you haven't already!)

Oh, how FUN! Yes, Susannah, you must read the books! I have started them and am loving them, and I made Mike start them, too! We are both excited for the movie but can't see it until my in-laws get back from Utah to keep the kids for us.
I refuse to see the movie until I've read the books which I plan to do just as soon as I can get my hands on them. Our library had three copies but two of them are overdue and billed out leaving one copy which currently has about 5 holds on it. I should probably just go buy the book but all of our money right now is going for things like food. I'm sure the family would understand if they couldn't eat for awhile don't you think??
I agree with you on the food thing!! I spend more money each month on food than I do all of our other bills put together!
