My favorite week ever!

It started on Thursday when we had VIP tickets to the premire of Twilight. I went with a bunch of friends. It wa an awesome evening. I absolutely loved the movie. It was so much fun being surrounded by many fans. It made for an even better event. I asn't sure if I was going to like the actor who played Edward because the Edward in my head rocked. However he did an amazing job. Bella was great too. I will definately see it again! I can't wait for New Moon to be in theatres.


Then on Saturday evening I got to go to the Coldplay concert! It was amazing. I went with three of my girlfriends and I loved every minute of it. Chris Martin seems to love his audience and his fans. The set up of the stage was awesome. They even came out in the middle of the concert and performed right in the middle the audience. They set up instruments on four chairs with fans completely surronding them and played clocks. It has been a while since I went to a concert, but coldplay is right up there with U2 and I wouldn't miss them for the world. The concert was worth every penny.
Needless to say that week rocked literally!

31 years young!



I guess I can pass off as a high school student still. So I went to the class I interpret for today. I walked in and the teacher wasn't there. No big deal. It happens all the time. So at the same time my phone started vibrating. I looked down and saw that Clint was calling so I headed out to the hall to answer the phone. I was on the phone for about 2 minutes talking about something important and this woman walks up to me and asks me if I am in this class. I answered yes and told her that the teacher isn't here yet. She replies with a very sharp voice saying, "I am the teacher today. Get off your phone right now and get into class!" So in a daze of what just happened I told Clint I'd call him back so I could go interpret. I walked into class and she tells the students that they need to do homework and then went and sat down. So I walked up to her, used my big girl words and asked if there would be anymore requirements of the students today. She told me no so I informed her that I was going back into the hall to finish my important phone call. She didn't say anything else to me the rest of the period. I think she realized then that I was an adult! You think it would stop happening. I can't tell you how many times I am accused of being a student. I just figured by now people knew who I was. The good news is I still look young. I am just askin' for a little kindness and respect.

Twilight...Is amost here



I am so excited for this movie. I never realized I would love vampires and warewolves so much. The whole reason I even started reading this series was so I would actually know what I was interpreting. I work at a high school as an interpreter and the names Edward, Bella, and Jacob started coming up in conversations I was interpreting and I seriously had no reference to what was being talked about. However, everyone around me knew and would start these elaborate discussions and basically freak out. So I decided in order to do my job better I better arm myself with the knowledge found in the Twilight series. Much to my amazement I couldn't put the books down. As far as my job is concerned it has totally paid off. The twilight subject gets brought up often and I am no longer questioning what is being signed. I am even making sure that I go to the movie the second it is released. In fact I get to see it the day before. Thurday the 20th at 7:00. So while the rest of you die hard fans who will be attending the 12:01 showing know that I will be snug in my bed with visions of vampires in my head.

October in Review

Wow! I can't believe it is November. I'm not sure what happened to October. All I know is that I was extemely busy. I've neglected my blogging duties. So here is my October in review. I'm going to start from the end.


Halloween



Kailey wanted to be a Prom Zombie. She looks amazing and plays the part very well. She was voted scariest costume in her class. It took abou an hour to aply all the make-up and the hair.

Kailey got her inspiration for her costume from our favorite halloween tradition, Thriller. My cousin Taylor happened to be in it this year. Much to my surprise she was waiting for us at the top of the stairs.

That night Alivia and Alaina came over for trick or treating fun. We went for two hours. I have to admit it pooped me out. I guess I don't have the energy I use to have. Clint and I were suppose to go hang out with friends that night. I ended up falling asleep at home. I love Halloween.


PUERTO RICO



Jenny and I had a fabulous opportunity to work in Puerto Rico a few weeks ago. The weather was amazing. The company was fabulous. The beach was beautiful. It was such a great experience. We returned to one of my most favorite places while we were there. We kayaked on the bio bay. If you ever get the chance to go to Puerto Rico make sure you head to the bio bay. It is an amazing adventure.

The girls relaxin' Deelayne and I hanging out.



Our hotel rocked. A friend of mine described it as 70's porn decor. I have to agree. It was fabulous. The best part was I didn't pay a dime. I loved this chair. wished I could have packed it up and took it home with me.




Zions Nation Park


We decided to go to Zions over UEA with the Mcdonalds. We went camping and hiking. It was great. The weather was perfect hiking weather.

Clint was man enough towear this back pack. Appearently we forgot ours. Doesn't he look awesome. I couldn't help but take plenty of pictures of him packing it around. He definately turned many heads.

We tuckered Kailey right out.

October was defentaly fun-filled.
