Long time no...err..blog

Our lives have been crazy lately! It's amazing how you can live in the same house with a person and hardly see them. I don't like it (pouts)
Anyway, Scott and I made a deal : he would go sit through "Twilight" with me and I will sit through the new "Star Trek" movie coming out next year. So last night we had our tickets for the 8:30pm show, got there are 7:45 and were pretty much in the back of the line that was formed OUTSIDE. We thought we were going to freeze to death before the theater Nazi let us inside.
My Review: I loved "Twilight". I had decided early on that I was just going to sit and enjoy the movie as a movie (and drool a little over Robert Pattinson) and not compare it to the book because we all know the book is better :) So I went with an open mind and no expectations and really enjoyed it. So I don't spoil anything I'll just say - yeah, it was different. Of course it's going to be different, but it was well done. Scott was pretty lost, but he even enjoyed it (as much as can be expected anyway).

Girls at School

Halloween!

We had a pumpkin carving contest at school. We stacked one ontop of another and decided to make it a mummy. When I looked at our pumpkins from behind, well, it had a behind!! We thought it was totally hysterical.

And here's our mummy from the front.

Me as the evil Queen from "Snow White" and Trianna as SuperWoman.

Underneath the beard is my adorable husband! Isn't he the cutest Wizard ever? I think so :)

Apologies and Josh

I deleted the other post that was here, hopefully before anyone had a chance to read it (crosses fingers). I realized I was being stupid in venting about feeling ill on my blog - I'll save that for my journal :) So sorry if anyone read it.

Anyway, Scott came home from Home Teaching appointments today only to hear Josh Groban's Christmas album playing full blast. As he does when I do anything stupid, he smiled and shook his head at me. So what that it's ... err... October. If you don't have this album you MUST go out and get it (whenever you start listening to Christmas music...to each his own) A) It's Josh. `nough said. B) The arrangements are beautiful. C) There's a piece with the Tabernacle Choir! (there was a rumor going around that Josh would be the guest artist with Tab Choir for their Christmas concert...SO wish it was true!)

Another Book Review

I came across "The Heretic's Daughter" on Amazon.com and found the premise totally interesting! It's about the Salem witch trials, told from the perspective of a young girl whose mother is arrested for being a witch. What originally caught my attention is that the author is a descendant of the mother, Martha Carrier who was tried as a witch. The story of Martha was passed down verbally through the family. So Kathleen Kent (the author) spent 5 years researching everything before writing it.
I have to admit it 's pretty slow going at the first; there's a lot of background and random characters. But once into the trials you see why it's all important. It's pretty dark, and historically it's VERY well researched. You get a real good idea of what life was like in the 1600's. It was a sad time in our countries history! Anyway, if you're in to historical fiction I think you'll enjoy it.

You're Getting OLD!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful, handsome, sweet, loving husband!!! Wasn't he a cute little thing? He's the love of my life, my strength and my better half (WAY better!). I love you!!!!!
