Ok, I don't know if you'd call us loyal Stephanie Meyer fans, crazy, excited or pathetic. Any adjective will do. But, nevertheless, we were among the mass of people at bookstores everywhere at MIDNIGHT Friday night waiting for our copy of the new book, Breaking Dawn. We decided to go to get the book on the first night it was out months ago but when 10:00 pm rolled around and after a long day with our kids/work, we were ready for bed. BUT, we powered through and headed out. We went originally to the Barnes and Noble in West Jordan where we had our book reserved. They were having a party, basically a wedding reception for Edward and Bella. The advertisement encouraged formal dress and as you can see, many people got right into that idea. We didn't but were amazed at their ambition to do so. We asked a few if we could take their picture and we just went ahead and took pictures of others without them knowing. We thought we were fans but we had no idea how crazy people were over this! WOW! We caught a few pictures with Edward and Bella before we left continuing to laugh our heads off. Anyway, we walked out of the store at 11:00pm and went to get a smoothie at Iggys. On the way over there, we passed a much shorter line at the Deseret Book. I saw some old friends and neighbors who were pretty close to the front. We debated on what to do since we had wristbands for a place in line back at Barnes and Noble but were #600+ in line. To make a long story short, we got our books at Deseret Book and were out of there by 12:15am and headed for our beds (after reading a couple chapters first, of course). Thanks, girls, for a fun night and a couple really good laughs!
