It has been two years today that I miscarried my twins and I just wanted to remember them. It was a rather uneventful day today except that I got tons of work done on our websites and I ran almost the entire five miles. It feels like my little angels have been with me all day.

Last night, my friends Jessica, Daphne and I went out to Alamo Drafthouse to see Eclipse. We had such a nice time talking and laughing. It was great to get a chance to hang out with them and watch a movie that we all enjoy.
The movie, in my opinion, was really good. I had read the book over two years ago and in the last few days leading up to the movie, I listened to the audiobook on youtube to refresh my memory. Several things in the movie were out of order (for example: Rosalie's story of her previous life, the slumber party, etc.) but done really well and kept the story moving along. Had they followed the book exactly, it probably would have been really confusing for the movie goer and wouldn't have been beneficial at all.
One thing I really like about The Twilight Saga so far is that there isn't a whole lot of gore at all. They keep the vampire/werewolf fights quick, to the point, and no blood. I'm really glad that even as they are doing these movies and getting better at them, they still haven't changed the fact that it's, bottomline, a love story or a love triangle, if you will. I am really excited about the next two, Breaking Dawn, which will be in two parts. They should be really good and I'm anticipating great things.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this short read. It gave more insight into the character of Bree and why she behaved the way she did in Eclipse. I enjoyed reading the author's note saying that once she finished this book, that she wished she had ended Eclipse a little differently. It was good.

Since the kids started summer school, I have been jogging about 3 miles every week day morning. It feels so good to get in some much needed exercise. I also have been watching what I eat but not to the point where I feel deprived and surprise! I'm down 10 pounds.
My goal is to continue with the 3 miles and try to build up a little more every week. Hopefully, by the time school starts in the fall, I can lose 20 more pounds and I will be where I'd like to be. Wish me luck!
