Twilight and Thanksgiving.

I have never been a fan of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. I never had a book that I absolutely loved that I could then watch on the big screen, that is until Twilight came out! I loved this book. Maybe because I have always loved the bad boys, or because maybe it gives normal girls hope at finding our Prince Charming (or our Vampire)! I have seen this movie twice, and went again last night with my good friend Stephanie. It just puts me in a good mood!! The first time I saw it my cute fiance came with. He was such a good sport, and put up with me everytime I would get crazy when I saw Edward. He has accepted that I have room in my heart to love Derek and Edward! I am lucky to have such an amazing fiance!

Today is Thanksgiving. I have had a hard time adjusting to holidays without my mom. I feel bad because I handle the pain of missing my mom by getting emotional or grumpy. I am lucky to have a caring family to spend the holiday with, and I am so lucky to have Derek. We are going
to his mom's house for dinner, and I have heard rumors that she is making Better than Sex Cake! Yes! Yum! We are then going to my aunts house for leftovers and games! I hope today goes well and I can stop being so grumpy! On the other hand, maybe I should stay grumpy so I can fight for good deals at Target tomorrow for Black Friday!!!

Finally, a blog!

I can't believe I finally have a blog. I have loved looking at other people's blogs, so I am really excited to finally have my own! I guess this blog will be Derek's too, but to be honest he probably won't be writing on here that much! I guess I will tell the story of how Derek and I met, just so people have a background!

Derek and I met through his friend Andy. I worked with Andy at Cyprus Credit Union. Andy would say that Derek needed to be set up with a nice girl, but I didn't really pay a lot of attention when Andy would say this. One day Andy asked if I would like to go to a movie with his fiance and her friend and Derek. I was nervous, but agreed. He preceded to call Derek right then to tell him to "put some cologne on and do his hair because he was bringing a lady for him to meet!" We all went to a movie and we hit it off! Derek, being quite the gentleman, walked me to my car and asked if he could get my phone number. I responded by saying, "yeah, do you have your phone? Of course you have your phone! Everyone has their phone." Needless to say I was nervous and excited! He called me the next day and we went on our first date two days later. We have been inseparable ever since. We have been together since June 4th 2007, got engaged August 30th 2008 and will get married June 12th 2009!
