Fangover

taylor-lautnerOn Friday November 20th, nine self-diagnosed Twi-hards drove to Bakersfield for the 10 a.m. showing of New Moon. I do not belong to Team Jacob, but just as a fellow Twi-hard said while pointing to Taylor Lautner "I'll take one of those!" After seeing that film, I understand why people side with Jacob. However, I still believe Bella belongs with Edward aka Mr. Darcy. As far as competitions go, Edward would beat Jacob, in a fight and Robert Pattinson crushes Taylor Lautner in the acting department! Did I mention those abs?!

The Randies Wed

I went to a friend's wedding this past weekend. Hands down, it was the cutest wedding ceremony I have ever seen! I loved IMG_6182 her simple, yet elegant wedding dress! True to her hilarious nature, she wore dark blue shoes with sequin for her "something blue" item. The cake was made by the maid-of-honor and was the cutest thing ever. The only thing that would have made the day more enjoyable was if Joaquin Phoenix was able to join me.

(By the way, I wore this costume to the movie theater. I only received a few stares!-- Oh, and I was not that busty!)

Savior of the World: His Birth and Resurrection

We went to a religious playing this weekend. Savior of the World: His Birth and Resurrection is a musical drama presented by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Act I told the story before the birth of Jesus Cchristhrist, the Savior and Redeemer of the World. Act I ended with the birth of Jesus Christ. The Bakersfield Stake was in charge, therefore many of the performers we did not know. We did know two of singers though. Joseph, Mary's fiancée/husband, who was played by Jacob Krumm. Joe would have been happy to see Jacob! He did a wonderful job! Joseph's father, Micham, was played by Randy de Jong. He was my Spanish teacher and lived in our ward for many years. Jacob and Señor de Jong sang a duet together. It was beautiful! The person that played Mary, the mother Christ, was excellent! Song lyrics were taken from the King James version of the New Testament. After a 15 minutes, Act II began 33 years later, where a resurrected Christ appeared to His apostles and then to the Nephites on the American continent as recorded in The Book of Mormon. The play has profound meaning and was thoroughly enjoyed by the Kent family. All the talents and equipment involved provided a spiritual atmosphere. It made me want to be a better person!

Anticipation

I am very excited for the theatrical release of New Moon on November 20th! I bought a special outfit to wear to the theater that day. Many are aware that I suffer from a disorder called “O.C.D.” (Obsessive Cullen Disorder).

Right now I am suffering from “O.T.D.” (Obsessive Taylor Disorder). Taylor Lautner is the actor who plays Jacob. (Wahoo, for not making him wear that wig!) I may have to switch to Team Jacob, but ONLY for the movie! In reality, Edward always wins! Last year a large group of friends went out to lunch and saw Twilight afterwards. We had a great time!  However, this year our ward dinner is on that Friday. I already have set plans for Saturday, the 21st. We’ll see what happens…
