Breaking Dawn


Well, I've finished the new book in the Twilight series and all I have to say is, anticlimatic. The whole story builds up basically to one moment at the end and then it doesn't really turn out that great, its kinda like Stephanie Meyer was holding back on us becuase she didn't want to kill any of her characters...not saying that killing is a good thing, wow that came out wrong. What I mean is there is really no drama in the situation that she sets you up for through the entire book, I was expecting something to happen but it was just kinda a boring ending and I don't think I would really recommend the book. It is very descriptive and moves really slow and then the ending (like I said) is a let down. :( Bummer....

Back in Utah

On Saturday, I had the opportunity to drive from Washington to Salt Lake. That may not sound like a hard drive, but it took about 14 hours. Highlights of the trip:
1. I almost got struck by lightning when I drove from Idaho to Utah
2. The same lightning storm had such strong rain that it actually washed the dead bugs off my windsheild.
3. Listening to Breaking Dawn the whole way...and I'm still not done with it (ps, I'm still not sure if I would recommend this book, more to come)
4. Stopping at a fruit stand and getting the most delicious, juicy peaches.
5. Seeing the temperature raise from 50 degrees (in Washington) to 95 degrees on the border of Oregon and Idaho.

Downfalls of the trip:
1. I did it alone since Craig is staying in Washington for another week and a half.
2. I have to be away from Craig for a week and a half :(

One Year

Wow, its already been one year since Craig and I got married. On August fourth we celebrated our anniversary. Craig gave me an impressive little poem that he wrote about our wedding day, and he framed it and it will soon be on our wall at our apartment in Utah. We took the day off work (kinda, with this job you never really get a day off) and we hung out. At night we went to a fabulously grand and expensive restaurant where we enjoyed seafood on the pier and free cake to celebrate. It was a good day...even after a year of being together, I can honestly say that I'm in love with the most wonderful man alive!
