Twilight at midnight Part 2

No spoilers, don't worry. My great friend Mary and I went to the new Aliante Regal theaters for the showing. Since they just opened last week, they weren't advertising the movie showing at midnight until they did open. We got there at 10 and to our pleasant surprise there weren't that many people in front of us, maybe 100 or so. From the time we got in line, till we went in to the theater, they added 4 more showings and who knows how many more after that. When we bought out tickets, it was only on 2 screens and apparently ours was the less filled. Better for us anyway.

With going to see it at midnight our husbands watched the kids, and we were able to get out for just a girls night. Totally fun and we should do that more often.

About the movie, well let me just say I hope to go see it again when we go down for Thanksgiving. However, since we're only going to be there a couple of days I'm not sure it it will work out or not. For me, well I wasn't expecting anything great so with that expectation I was pleasantly surprised. Until more of you out there have seen it and we can discuss, that's all I'm going to say on the subject.

Seeing it at midnight - so totally worth it. I wasn't thrilled that Katelyn was in my bed at 6:30 especially since she was awake in her bed when I came home, but Dave took them downstairs before heading off to work and put a movie in so I could get a few more minutes. We'll just see how the rest of the day goes.

And to all you skeptics out there, our theater wasn't full and there was only one incident of screaming (but not during any dialogue) and then I think they got it out of their systems.

Twilight at midnight, Part 1

With less than 2 weeks away, who's interested in going to the midnight show? It's playing 3 different showtimes at Santa Fe or other theaters all over the valley. So lets get a group of us to go and have a great time.

It's finally open

The waiting is over. No more driving across town just to have a tasty bite. That's right. Cafe Rio has arrived and just as hoped, does not disappoint!! The girls and I decided to treat ourselves to it for lunch since Dave is up in So. Utah shooting. So for all of you waiting and wondering when it is going to open, it's here!! Enjoy

Breaking Dawn

I finished the book yesterday and what can I say about it? I love, love, loved this book. It was so well written, as always, she tied up all the lose ends, and it had a happy ending. Everything was just perfect about the entire thing. I have nothing but rave reviews to say about Breaking Dawn. As always, another #1 from Stephenie Meyer. Way to go!! Can't wait to see more from her in the future.
