"Everywhere in nature we are taught the lessons of patience and waiting. We want things a long time before we get them, and the fact that we wanted them a long time makes them all the more precious when they come." Joseph F. Smith

Reading "Silly Goose"
I caught Lilia reading. I love when I find her reading all by herself. She really loves her books! We spend a lot of time reading together.

Twilight Movie

Twilight
I got an text from a friend (Thanks Erin!) a month ago and it was about the Twilight Movie. The offer was that we could buy tickets to see the movie and we got a "goodie" bag etc. I decided to go for it. Sent the email out and requested 5 tickets. I got a response back that I had 5 tickets for the movie and all the information. I asked a couple of friends and of course they were very excited and wanted to go.
So, Saturday morning we all meet up at my house and headed out. We left around 9 am. We got to the theater in Cool Springs and got our "goodie" bag and stopped by the bathroom and then we to get a seat. When we entered the theater I was not ready for the huge crowed. The theater was almost full. We found seats up front (not my favorite place but oh well). We looked through our "goodie" bag and then the raffle started.
Ann's number was called and so we cheered! She got to pick what was left of the pile of Twilight items. She got a hat. Erin and her sister Lauren also had their numbers called they got a shirt and signed photo. We were very excited.
The movie started and it was the wrong color. The crowd cheered and was very excited. They stopped the movie and started it again. The crowd reacted of course but it was much better fixed. The crowd reacted through out the movie more than the movied called for. It was funny. I want to see it again when the crowd will be normal. We had a great time. The movie was good but not as good as the book. They always have to change things to get everything in. I think they did a good job overall. Everyone had a great time traveling to the movie and then on the way home. It was fun to relax and talk and catch up on what was going on in each others lives.

The Year of the Dog

I just finished reading this fun novel for children.
The Year of the Dog by Grace Lin is a fun book to read that teaches about different cultures and living in the US. I like the friendships and the experience as school and her mother's stories. The different kinds of food was interesting to hear about as well.
This is an easy read and lots of fun!
