Laurann came to spend the night at our house. I was so excited to have a sleepover with my little sis. We went to the local midnight release party. There were parties all over the country. One bookstore in Salt Lake had a bridesmaid dress contest since there is a wedding scene in the book. Another bookstore in Texas allowed people to donate blood while they waited. That is hilarious!! The party we went to consisted of trivia, debates, and costume contests. We enjoyed reading the T-shirts and looking at the costumes. Some people are really creative and have way too much time on their hands. We decided against getting our faces painted so we looked like vampires (although I didn't fix the red eye in my pictures).
I had several friends there from church there as well.
We watched the trailers to the movie coming out December 12th (the day before my birthday). We read books about travel while we waited and waited with all the other women and girls. The store was packed!
We were up by the front and thanks to the fact that I pre-odered and pre-paid I was handed my books at 12:01am. The first person in the area to get my books. Wooooohooooo!!! One book was for me and the other was Laurann's birthday present from me. I had the book finished by Sunday night. I liked it. I like all books that surprise me. It was a fun party. I'm glad I broke from my normal bedtime and stayed up late for the Night with Bite.
Thanks for coming Laurann, it wouldn't have been the same without you.

Hi there. I just borrowed this book from my friend and I'm starting it tonight. I feel like the last person on earth to read it, since most people I know are already finished with it. Oh well, I'm still excited to read it.
Oh, by the way, I wanted to tell you, before you got the invitation in the mail, that I'm having a baby shower on Sept. 6th. It wouldn't be a baby shower without my good friend Colette. It is going to be at my grandma's house in Draper. I know that's a bit of a drive for you, so if you can't make it I'll understand. If you do come you'll be the only one who can say they've been to showers for all three of my kids! And one of those was held in both of our honor.
I hope you like the book. I thought it was a fun read.
I will let you know about the baby shower when it gets closer. I hope it works out. It would be really fun to see you again.
