Twilight Mania!


Letzten Dienstag war die Premiere von Eclipse, dem neusten Twilight Film und wir sind hin, um uns die Trilogie anzuschauen, alle drei Teile hintereinander. Normalerweise bin ich kein grosser Fan von Mitternacht Premieren, ueberfuellten Kinos und einem Haufen schreiender Fans, aber ich liebe es eine ganze Nacht im Kino zu verbringen, um Trilogien anzuschauen, also sind wir hin.
Der Film war super, aber ich fand es besonders toll, die ganze Verruecktheit die vor und waehrend dem Film abging, zu beobachten. So etwas habe ich wirklich noch nie gesehen!
Ashlie war um halb 11 morgens beim Kino, um ihre Karte abzuholen und sie sagte, dass die Schlange schon bis nach draussen ging, obwohl der erste Film erst um 19 Uhr anfangen sollte. Und das bei 45 Grad Celcius! Als ich um 17:30 Uhr beim Kino ankam war es natuerlich ueberfuellt. Hunderte von Fans, die zum groessten Teil halb so alt waren wie ich, sassen auf dem Boden im Eingangsbereich und warteten darauf eingelassen zu werden. Sie brachten Strandstuehle, grosse Kuehltaschen mit Getraenken und sogar Fast Food Tueten mit (Ich kann mir immer noch nicht erklaeren, warum es okay war, Getraenke und Essen mit ins Kino zu bringen...wenn ich das nur gewusst haette!:)). Viele Leute kamen im Schlafanzug, sie brachten Decken und Kissen mit, spielten Karten, lasen Buecher und unterhielten sich aufgeregt und voller Vorfreude auf den Film. Natuerlich hatte jede zweite Person ein "Team Jacob" oder "Team Edward" T-Shirt an und es wurde waehrend des Film viel geschrien, quasi jedesmal wenn sich jemand auf der Leinwand das Shirt auszog! Es war verrueckt!
Eclipse endete so um 2 Uhr nachts und ich konnte meinen Augen nicht glauben, als ich aus dem Kino kam, weil da eine weitere riesige Schlage war, die auf den 2:45 Uhr Film warteten! Was zum Teufel? Wer will denn um diese Uhrzeit einen Film gucken, haben die denn keinen Job? Verrueckte Welt.
Es war eine unglaubliche Erfahrung und glaubt mir, sollten sie irgendwann eine Harry Potter Nacht machen werde ich dabei sein, inklusive meiner Kuehltasche, Decke und im Schlafanzug!:)

Last Tuesday was the Premiere of Eclipse, the newest Twilight movie and we went to see the Trilogy, all three parts in a row. Usually I'm not a big fan of Midnight premieres, crowded theaters and a bunch of screaming fans, but I love to spend a whole night at the movies to see Trilogies and so we went.
The movie was awesome, but I really enjoyed watching the "craziness" that was going on before and during the movie. I've never seen anything like this. Ashlie went to the theater at 10:30am to get her ticket and she said the line was already out the door, although the first movie was scheduled to begin at 7pm. And it was 115 degrees outside. When I got to the theater around 5:30pm it was packed. Hundreds of fans, that were mostly half my age, were sitting in the foyer waiting to get into the theater. There were beach chairs, big coolers with cold drinks and people had brought fast food (I'm still not sure why there were allowed to bring food and drinks into the theater...if I only had known!:)). A lot of people came in pajamas, they brought pillows and blankets, they played cards, read books and chatted full of excitement in anticipation of the movie. Of course, every other person was wearing a "Team Jacob" or "Team Edward" shirts and there was a lot of screaming during the movie going on, basically every time someone in the movie took off their shirt! It was nuts.
Eclipse ended around 2am and I couldn't believe my eyes when I stepped out of the theater, because there was another huge line for the 2:45am showing! What the....? Who wants to watch a movie at this hour, didn't they have jobs? Crazy World.
It was an awesome experience and believe me, if there ever is a Harry Potter night, I'll be there...including my cooler, blanket and in PJ's!:)

  1. ;) The same situation here in CA! As soon as Jacob finished his sentence "We both know I'm hotter than you" everybody was yelling "Hell...Yeah!" So funny!

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
