My thoughts on Twilight

When I read the book, I enjoyed it. It was entertaining but not necessarily the best thing that I have ever read. But I endured and read the whole series because I had invested all of this time into the characters.
I am the kind of person who likes to get to the point and we know that these books are not like that at all.
So......The movie is out and I wanted to see it, but I'm not one of the crazies that went to the midnight showing or wore matching shirts and went with a big group. Instead my mom and I went yesterday to a theatre that had maybe 30 people tops. I wasn't expecting much because i wasn't one of those people who thought "this is going to be the greatest movie ever!!!"
I have to tell you that I absolutely LOVED the movie. It got to the point and made you really feel their love for each other. I recommend for everyone who has not seen it to go in with low expectations and then you will leave with the best review!! I even bought that actor as Edward even though I had my doubts from the previews.
Now I have a better appreciation for the series and everyone has a face. The only character that bothered me was who they chose for Jacob (not really all that cute!)
Those are my thoughts and I'm stickin to it!

GO UTES!!!!!!

What an AWESOME win on Saturday night against the biggest rivals the BYU Cougars.

12-0
BCS Bowl bound
If you know my husband the picture below will shock you as much as it did me. I have NEVER known him to really get into or dress up for much. But when it comes to his team I guess there is no stopping him!

His work had a contest to see who could dress up as the best fan for either Utah or BYU.

He happened to win the big prize of $100 gas card!!!

Da Da Da Da..... Utah Man!
