Officially addicted to Twilight!!!!

Okay, Katrina came to me one day and asked if she could read "Twilight". Her friend is reading it and that made Katrina want to read it. I really didn't think it would be appropriate for her age. I personally have never read any of the books. Well I was talking to someone about it and she was raving about how great the books are. I have heard this from numerous people. I just never got in on it. I explained to Katrina that it's probably not a book for her to read. I made a deal with her and said that I would buy the first book and read it and if I think it's appropriate then I'll let her read it. Well I bought it and let me say that I have the hardest time pulling away. I am so involved with this book. As soon as I am done with the first one I will definitely be reading the rest of the books in this series. What I love about reading these kind of books is that I become the character and it is just amazing at how real it seems. I can't wait till tonight when everyone is gone to bed to read again. It's so good that I know I'll be done in no time and will be on the second one. I'm planning on another Greece trip in a couple of weeks so this will be the perfect book to take to keep me preoccupied. I just can't express enough how excited this book makes me feel to want to read more. It is so addicting! I'm going to have to go to Twilight anonymous or something, because I don't want to stop. Help Me!! I just wanted to share this because I know most of you have read them so please don't tell me anything about them. I don't want to spoil the suspense. I'm also excited for the movie to come out on DVD (never saw it) so I can buy it. Well just wanted to shared my new craving.

The Rhodehouse's said...: I am addicted!!!! I'm thinking this is a bit over Katrina's head. She needs to stick to her horse books for now.; February 19, 2009 at 5:21 PM
Jennifer said...: I have not read these books yet. I tend to get really addicted to books, so much so that I really neglect other things, like feeding my kids. My sister keeps trying to get me to read them, but I have thus far restrained myself. I am waiting till things quite down a bit at my house before I dive into a book I can't put down. I wish I was going to Greece. Have fun!; February 20, 2009 at 3:54 PM
The Rhodehouse's said...: Well I know what you mean. That is how I am, but my interest grew too much. I have one chapter left and since the kids are in school I am to read then and at night while they are in bed. Anyway I am really excited to read the next one. I'm more excited about the movie too. Of course it will not be the same, but it'll be something decent to watch. Does Rob still have the rule of not buying movies?; February 20, 2009 at 7:06 PM
Marie said...: I read the first book two days before the movie came out so I could go see if for a girls night out! I didn't expect to read the first one in about 4 hours! I had a harder time getting the second book then Zach bought me the hardback series for Christmas. I always have one out on loan! I am addicted, have read the first book 3 times, 2nd book twice. The 3rd and 4th are on loan so only read them once!; February 25, 2009 at 1:12 AM

Families are ordained of God. They are the most important social unit in time and in eternity.

God has established families to bring happiness to His children, allow them to learn correct principles in a loving atmosphere, and prepare them to return to Him after they die. Because families are ordained of God, they are the most important social unit in time and in eternity.
Marriage (Genesis 2:18) and family ( Genesis 1:28) are central focal points in God’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children. Your Heavenly Father wants you to do all you can during your time on Earth to prepare yourself to live in an eternal family.
Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on sound principles, like those that Jesus Christ taught. These principles include faith in Jesus Christ, prayer, repentance?, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. A home established on gospel principles is a place of refuge and safety, where the Spirit of the Lord? can abide, blessing family members with peace, joy, and happiness (“ The Family: A Proclamation to the World”).
No marriage or family is perfect. When dealing with challenging relationships, it may help to remember that each person on this earth is a beloved son or daughter of God and has a divine nature and destiny. Learning to love and serve your family members, as Christ taught, will help you become more like your Heavenly Father and will help you prepare to live with Him again in an eternal family.
