This weekend I had the opportunity to rediscover one of my favorite things... Reading. Friday night Stephanie let me borrow the much talked about "Twilight." I was intrigued by the hype of the book and so I started the book Saturday morning. I started it and finished it all that day. The book was good, but what I realized was that I had forgotten how much I really enjoy reading. There is something so amazing about letting your mind escape to a whole other place, a place that is created in your mind merely by words on a page. Guided by the author, but completely up to you to build the characters and interpret the words as you please. I love to get so involved in a story that it takes over my own thoughts and the story almost becomes one of my own memories I am re-living. I usually don't read a lot while I am in school, especially since I give so much of my time to it. So I have to be careful, but this weekend made me all the more excited to be done with school and have the leisure of reading all I want.
I am particularly enjoying these books. Sunday Stephanie was going to come up and bring the next book but got sick, so I resorted to the trusty internet to feed my craving. I was surprised to find the second book online and anxiously started reading. I finished that today and am now well into the third book. I guess I should spread out my enjoyment, but like I said, I just get so wrapped up in the story.

I was going to tell you that I brought the second book with me to work today so I could give it to you...but apparently you don't need it!
They suck you in, huh?!
I am 1/2 through the last book. I think when you finish, you and Steph should come visit so we can go to Forks and find our own Edwards.
Miss you!
