Twilight Update

-
Real quick update on my Twilight status. I finished Twilight (book 1) on Friday. Luckily, the library had 2 New Moon copies, and I will finish it tonight. Yeah, my husband says he's glad I'm enjoying myself but it's kind of crazy. Oh well. I'm just hoping the library has my reserved copy of the third book by tomorrow. Hopefully, the person who has it now is a fast reader, too.


PS Did anyone else think the beginning of this book was a little...less....interesting than Twilight? Maybe because the romance wasn't part of it. It took me awhile to connect to Jacob. I like him now.

Another Twilight fan! YAY!!!

Yes, book two was a lil bit slower at first, but picks up nicely. TOTALLY leaves you hanging so you better get your hands on #3!!! I hear on the husband front! I read all four books in four days....and my husband was losing patience!! When I get into a book - forgettaboutit!!!! I'm so glad I didn't discover these until they all came out!!

Oh, oh, oh...did you LOVE Twilight? Are you gonna see the movie on November 21? You MUST!

New Moon is different from Twilight...but keep reading...keep on going...you'll have a "reward" for your perseverance.

Oh girl.

You need to read New Moon twice.

I was so upset that I never gave Jacob a fair shot.

I am a speed reader. Can't help it; they taught it in school!! Plus I have an incredible husband who "gets" (sorta) how I am when I get sucked into really good books. He was getting tired of the whole thing. He likes to read but not like I do and never with the same passion.

I know you will love these!!! I thought the 4th book was really the best, and the 1st a veryyy close second.

Enjoy!

I wasn't sure I'd like this series & I loved Twilight.

I will be honest, I struggled thought the beginnings of book 2 & 3, but half way through got into both books.

When I read 4, I totally loved it. It was everything I wanted the series to be & made me enjoy the others more.

I ended up reading the Host as well. I almost gave up on it at least 3 times. By the end I totally loved it & keep thinking about.

Not sure what is it about Meyers. It seems she kind of drags out plot lines, but by the end her worlds are so fantastic & believable (from all the details) that you end up loving her books.

I have heard a lot of Twlight readers with the same issue. I LOVED book #2 and I really love Jacob. My heart is so torn between the 2! I started book 3 last night. I'm 1/2 way through it!

CORRECT!!! However, I ADORE Jacob!! Seriously I wished Bella would have picked him instead. But I didn't enjoy this book as much either!

Thanks for stopping by my blog this morning! :) I was a little bit surprised by the start of the second book, but I soon got over it....I was hopelessly addicted to the Twilight books...read the series in a little over 2 weeks.

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
