BREAKING DAWN

Well, the day finally arrived. Breaking Dawn, the last of the books in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer came out August 2!! My friend Teresa and I decided to make a big deal out of this for our daughters. Ciera and Caitlyn have read the books over and over and over again. I admit WHOLEHEARTEDLY that I have read and re read them as well. We went to Barnes and Noble on the 31st at 7:30 am to wait to get wristbands to be able to get in and buy our books at the stroke of midnight on the 2nd. We were in the 3rd group (groups of 50) to get our wristbands..the JACOB group. There were people who had slept over night to be the first in line. SO we got our wristbands and were off to wait until the next day.
On the 1st, Kris and I had appt's to look at houses and we were with our realtor until 5pm. We went frantically to walmart to get tshirts, ink for the computer and iron transfer paper for the printer. we made it home by 6 and Caitlyn and I began to design our shirts for the evening. They turned out so cute, but the transfer paper didnt iron on very well. So by 8:30 we FINALLY made it to Barnes and Noble for the party. The girls had a blast. Cailtyn and I ordered the "edward" snack which was a raspberry mocha frappacinno (spelling)..with out the coffee. So I guess it was an "edward, no coffee" and a big cookie. We split a sandwich as well. Teresa and I hung out and waited until 11:30 when they had everyone leave the store and get in their groups. There we well over 1000 people there. The line stretched from the bookstore back to Michaels craft store...
The magic hour finally came and we were in the store by 12:15 and out by 12:20. Books in hand.
I am on chapter...12 and it is GREAT so far! LOTS going on. If you are ahead of me, DONT tell me what is going on!!
Enjoy the pictures!
