I have a little more than 24 hours before I will have the 7th and final Harry Potter book in my hands. Excitement, fear, disappointment, relief, I'm not quite sure how I feel about all of this. I guess I'm feeling a little bit of everything. Excitement because I will finally know what happens to Harry and friends. Fear because I am worried that JK Rowling will kill some of my favorite characters. Disappointment because this is the end. Relief because I am planning on getting my book and reading straight through the night until I finish it (it is going to be a long night). One thing that I am certain of is this....I am sooooooo glad that when David's mom told me about this great new book that Johnathan (David's nephew) had been reading, that I picked it up and read it. My mom had mentioned the HP series to me before, but was sceptical because of the idea of witches and wizards. Turns out that this story is really about good and evil and that you really can't judge a book by it's cover. Anyway, tomorrow night a bunch of us are going to the midnight HP book release at Barnes and Noble. Shelby and Savannah are coming and are dressing up like some of the characters (they are really looking forward to it). I will of course take pictures and post them later, after I am done reading and have gotten a nap that is. Until then...........Tick Tock, Tick Tock.

Here they are.....pictures from our midnight adventure! Deborah picked us up about 9:30 and we went to Cold Stone to get a sugar rush. We met up with David's mom, nephew, Heidi, Harley (Heidi's daughter), and Allison (Harley's friend). After our fill of ice cream we headed out to the movie. We got to the theater around 10:50 and after much searching and a little luck we found a theater to sit in. We bought some snacks and then just sat and people watched (there were a number of people dressed up in HP stuff). Shelby played some game on David's cell phone, and Savannah actually took a nap before the movie started. I honestly didn't know if I had wasted my money on Savannah's ticket or not. She surprised me however when about 15 minutes before the movie started she woke up and was ready to go. After making sure that no one was going to make me get up in the middle of the movie (potty, snacks, etc.) we sat back and enjoyed ourselves. The girls stayed awake the whole time and actually asked if they could stay up and watch another movie when they got home. I DON"T THINK SO! I was ready to go to bed. It was a great movie and we had a great time. Now I just have to get ready for the midnight release of the book. Only 8 days 13 hour and 15minutes to go.

Cool Slideshows!

Tonight is the night.....the new Harry Potter movie is coming out at midnight and a bunch of us from church are going to see it. YES! you read it right we cannot wait even twelve more hours to see it like normal people so we are going to the midnight viewing. This is the third HP (Harry Potter) movie that we have done this for and we always have such a good time. This time I promised Shelby and Savannah that they could come as well. I'm not sure if they will both stay awake, but they swear that they can. In any case this will be good practice for them because a week from Friday we are all going to the midnight book release! The girls have asked if they could dress up as characters from the books, so we are working on costumes next week. I will try and post some pictures tomorrow if I'm not too tired from our adventure.

For all of you out there that read my blog anytime between Friday and Sunday will know that a video should have been with my post but wasn't....seeing as that I am still new to this blogging thing I had a hard time getting my video file to upload. Anyway I finally got it to work so here it is.
