I am sitting here watching the Twilight. I really think I need to see a marathon of the first three movies before Breaking Dawn comes out. I remember vaguely hearing about Twilight when it first came out, and I couldn't figure out what the hype was all about. I never heard of Stephanie Meyers or the books. I didn't know what Team Edward or Team Jacob were all about. And then my brother borrowed the movie from the library (way, way after it came out). Against my wishes, I watched it. Don fell asleep, and I was Hooked! I still can't figure it out, but I love the movie. I started reading the book right away, and even got the four book set for my birthday that year (thank you Don). I have been looking forward to the Breaking Dawn movie coming out, for so long now. One of my friends has invited me to go with her to see the movie (they always go right when it comes out). Yippee!
And then I realized, the date of my fundraiser for Jamison is the day the movie comes out! I really tried to pick a good day, this time of year gets so booked up, and I spent lots of time looking at dates. This was the best date, and the place was available.
Honestly, I am way more excited about the fundraiser than I am about the movie. And thankfully, my friend is very forgiving! She is not mad about the conflict of dates, and we are trying to find a different time to go that weekend. I am very thankful that she wants to be at the fundraiser with me (and has even volunteered to help out). I have sure got a great group of really good friends, whom I love!
Very quietly here, I want to admit that I am nervous about this blog going "public" to my friends and family. I think I have never really started blogging because I am not sure people will like my writing. Math is my strong area, but I have always wanted to be a writer. I love to write. I also love to sing. And just cause I love it, and I do it, doesn't make me good at it (the singing especially). Out here in the Internet world, where people don't know me, I am o.k. with people reading what I write. But my friends and my family? Maybe this is too personal. It is easier to write about feelings than it is to say them. I have even thought about deleting all my prior posts (except for the videos) before I post the blog on Facebook. And I have decided to wait until November 1st, the start of the Christmas Warriors to do so.
I don't have much traffic, I see the numbers. And that is alright, especially since I have never told anyone about this really. Will my friends and family even come and read? Does anyone else really read it? I guess it doesn't really matter to me, I do enjoy the writing. But, I really do want to raise awareness for Jamison and Reece's Rainbow, and help them raise the needed funds for adoption. I love this ministry, and that I want to shout from all the rooftops! It would be really cool if I can make it take off. If you are reading, thank you! I appreciate it!
