Sucking the Life Out of Me

Twilight-one of the few books in my life where I started the book on a Friday and finished it on Sunday. Little did I know, that it was just the beginning of my addiction...

I accidentally took a little hiatus from blogging because I was sucked into the series, Twilight. That's right, the teenage love story between a vampire and human totally got to me and I spent a good part of my vacation with my nose in a book, or two, or four.

Dean and Dawn got the first book in the series for me for Christmas so luckily I was able to enjoy the holidays with my family before I got sucked away from the real world and absorbed in the trials and tribulations of star crossed lovers, Bella and Edward. However, as I was waist deep into the third book, Josh and I needed to head to Davenport to celebrate the holidays with the Thiessen side of the family. Fortunately, with the help of our family and friends, (and plenty of cocktails), I was able to tear myself away from the epic saga long enough to ring in 2009 in style. Whew!

New Year's. Amy and I are too funny for our own good.

I don't think Nick and Josh thought we were as funny as we thought we were.
