The moment we have been waiting for

After months of countdowns, weeks of excitement and a day of being nervous and not eating, the big day finally arrived. I kept myself busy in the morning by setting up more Christmas decor and deep cleaning the bathrooms and kitchen. Finally, I started to get ready. I have noticed that I am starting to collect a wardrobe of "Twilight Saga" shirts. People keep getting them for me. It's rather sad. Oh well. I do have 1 HP shirt! Lol. I still have more Iowa shirts than the rest of Michael's and my clothing put together. I am a bit obsessed with the Hawkeye apparel. Another thing I need to add to my therapy list! =)

When I headed over the the theater, I really started to get nervous. Why? I still can't tell you. I think it was just one of those moments where you don't want to be disappointed. When Derrick and I got there, we went straight back! Fandango is a new friend of mine. We couldn't believe that we were finally at the moment we have been waiting for. Looking around, we were pretty much the youngest people there! It was full of stay at home moms that probably had kids in late elementary school or middle school. After drooling over Channing Tatum in his new flick, the movie started. All I can say is, AMAZING. Of course there were differences from the book, but oh well. First off, Edward...I don't care what anyone says. That man, playing Edward, makes my heart race and the butterflies fly. He is not the most attractive in person but playing the role of Edward, wow. They way that he kisses her, are you kidding me? I get tingles just thinking about it! Lol. Then there are the werewolves, can we say Yummy? I am not a Team Jacob person, but that body on him? Fantastic. All of them were beautiful creatures. I would say 75% of this movie has some very good looking men with their shirts off! I think I was most excited for the Vulturi. That whole part of the movie, was more then I imagined. Now the ending? Are you kidding me? If you haven't seen it, I will not spoil it for you. Let's just say the ending happened and everyone in the theater was like "WHAT?! No way!" I did not think they would end it that way. It did happen in the book, but still! Cliffhanger. Luckily we only have 220 days to see what happens. As a fan who have read the books, we all know what is going to happen, but still. I didn't want it to end.

As we were leaving, they were already setting up the ropes for the showings at 3:30 and the evening showings. It's so crazy to think how many people are addicted to it like me. At least I am not alone. Also, they already had the Eclipse poster out! I guess 220 days is not long to them! Oh June 30th, come soon! I was a little excited to see HP and the Half Blood Prince is coming to DVD on Dec 8th! I will have make a Target trip that day!

So, the movie was much better than I thought it would be! You can tell they had a much larger budget this time around! If you are a fan of the books, you will probably be somewhat disappointed, but you can't jam everything into 2 hours! I will be in line the day it comes out on DVD to get a copy! I will see in the theater at least one more time! I am a little sad this countdown is over with, but we have another one to start!

Side note:

We watched Slumdog Millionaire tonight. If you have not seen this film, I highly recommend it! It was a very good flick! I can see why it won all the awards it did!
