Can you spell CRAZY?!?! :)

Well I just had to write a new post and talk about what Jackson and I did last Thursday!!

That's right folks, the opening night of the Twilight Saga "Breaking Dawn"!! :) I LOVE the Twilight books! I was never much of a reader until I read Twilight.
Anyhow, Jackson and I went to the Edwards theater in Idaho Falls last Thursday at 7:15PM to join the crew of people waiting outside of the building for opening night. And boy was it raining!! It wasn't just a slight little trickle, it was a down pour! And to top off the down pour, there was Wind! Lots of it! Despite all the rain and wind, it was still fun and something we can always look back at and remember. But that rain and wind did not last long for us, luckily the manager of the theater started letting certain theater numbers in the door like every 30 minutes because the weather was so bad. And who would of thought, Jackson and I had tickets to the first theater that they let in the door at 8:00PM. So we only had to wait 45 minutes in the rain which is good, because we sure did get soaked from those 45 minutes of waiting. We were so lucky, so we along with others got our great seats and sat for 4 hours waiting for it to start. I always bring a deck of cards to opening night but for some reason we never bother with using them.
Well at about 9:30, this old friend of mine (Chris) and his wife showed up to the movie and sat right next to Jackson and I without even knowing who I was at the time. Well, even though it's been four years since we've seen each other, it only took seconds for Chris and I to recognize each other from years ago. So there the 4 of us sat for the last 2 1/2 hours of waiting, catching up on life.
Overall, for the most part I thought that the movie was really good. I think that the movies are getting better overtime just for the mere fact they have more money to do so now since the very 1st movie, but thats of course just my opinion. Jackson said he liked it but was more intrigued by the little parts of fighting that was shown in the movie. One of our first dates back in 2009 was the opening night show of "New Moon", and it just seems that ever since than it's been a tradition to go to the opening night for the remaining Twilight movies. I had a better camera, but the battery died so I had to use my phone. They aren't very good photos because of the lighting etc but I still get a good laugh every time I take a look at it. I love how Jackson is smiling in one of the pictures and how we are holding this really tiny like tarp over our heads, "trying" to stay dry, ya not so much :) Great times though! And I am already looking forward to the next movie that comes out next year in November! :)
Love you Jackson, and thanx for coming to the movie with me even though we got drenched in rain.
