I was sucked in....

not to this
But MOST DEFIANTLY TO THIS
I have never really been a "reader" and the thought of werewolves and vampires was a little much for me to swallow. When we all got sick (remember my grumpy previous post) I knew I was going to be stuck home for a couple of days so I decided to give in and read Twilight.......
two weeks and 4 books later I'm a stinking super fan... yes the kind I used to make fun of for wearing T-shirts like the one above. (I wonder where I could get me one like that?!?!) I haven't seen the movie yet, but it comes out on Netflix the 21st and I am SO EXCITED!
Justin thinks I'm crazy... I may be just a little:0)
Has anyone read "The Host" is it good?
*******************************
We have not been up to much of anything the last couple of weeks but here are a few pictures for the grandmas:0)
Coopers first Pinewood Derby and he came in 3rd!!!
Yeah Coop! (or daddy for letting Coop used his old car)
Cooper and Cade got the cutest little Sunday suits from Grandma Lundblade and for the life of me I can't get a picture of both of them, let alone one of Cade even looking at me.How were those Spaghettio's buddy?
You got a little something on your face :0/

Other random news:

Laura and I have decided to run a 10k the middle of April. I've been feeling a little guilty for slaking so last night I committed to run 5mi this morning. Not a big deal... until I wimped out at 4mi I'm such a wimp when it comes to snow and ice! It would also help if I would stop freaking myself out thinking about vampires hunting me, you know Seattle and Forks WA are not that far from me!

Uhhh... I better whip it into shape and FAST!

Hey Chy! Yeah, I totally understand the whole vampire thing. I have The Host and I really liked it. It wasn't as addicting as the Twilight series and it took me a little bit longer to really get into it but after I did, I couldn't put it down! What a cute couple of boys you have! And I am in awe that you are running like that. I would've wimped out at mile 0!

So you finally gave in huh! I liked the movie but I wish they would hurry up with the rest of them! Guess that's how they make the $. So a 10k huh, I was actually thinking that I would like to go for a 10K instead of the 1/2. Start with that and work my way up. Could you send me your training schedule (and maybe some ideas to modify it for a 10K)? I love you all and hope things are great!

Twilight is GREAT! I got suckered into them awhile ago and FINALLY got Jessica Norviel to read them, yes she got hooked almost as quick as you. The Host is good, but hard to get into. I'm so proud of you for running...I get totally excited when I hit the 3 mile mark :)

Amy said...

The twilight books are a good read thats for sure :). I think a 10k would be awesome and 4 miles in this weather is awesome.

Laura Lou said...

Chy, you are amazing! 4 miles are my L-O-N-G runs!! I can't wait to be conditioned like you are. . .baby steps to get there. . . .speaking of baby steps, Cade is such a sweetie! LOVE the spaghetti-O pic. Bill and I giggled and laughed over that one! :-) Bill said he was wearing spaghetti-O warpaint. Tee, hee. - I am in the middle of the 3rd TWLGHT book and am totally addicted again. . . fell off a little in book 2, but am back full force with this one. Do you have 4? :-)

Beckie said...

Isn't it fun to freak yourself out- -that should make you run faster-- and giving up at 4 miles-- oh my -- geez I give up at the 4th step- out of the house!

Ashley said...

Haha, I love those books too! Nolan went to Forks isn't that funny. He said it was a pretty dumpy town. I am a Jacob fan all the way. AND I LOVED the HOST. It took like 40 pages to really get into it, but then it was sooo good. Cute church outfits. I love little boys all dressed up for church.

Nick and Mary Beth said...

Ha Ha I didn't even think about Another one bites the dust!! I work at a dermatology office. We mostly work on skin cancers so needless to say I am glad I have stayed pasty white my enitre life!!

I haven't quite caved on the 'Twilight' stuff...yet. Fun to have something to keep your mind off of that yucky sickness! Glad you are doing better! I wish I was there to run the 10k with you. I need something to motivate me! Love your posts! The boys are as handsome as ever!

Idaho Searles said...

I knew it! I just knew it! I told you that you would love it:) How can you not fall in love with Edward? So now remind me to tell you my "Edward" story. I have read the Host and I really liked it. I love and miss you tons!!! Jo

I loved Twilight! I'm Counting down the days myself until it comes out on video! I love the workout widget! I must admit, I'm supposed to be on my treadmill right now! I'm watching Harry Potter 5 while I run today, so it should be somewhat entertaining! I'm still bummed that I didn't get to see you when you were here! Question, if you do the Mesa Falls half, are you still going to do Prison Break? I'm trying to figure out my race schedule? Thanks for giving me the motivation to get back into running again... I love it! Well, I think I've written enough... cute kids!
