New Moon Is Here!!!

OK so I wont say too much cause I know that not everyone was insane and went to the New Moon premier like me but I have to say that I loved it to so much!! The action, CGIs, acting, cinematography, and basically everything blew me away! I was expecting something just like Twilight but I was pleasantly surprised! But I always find it's best to go into a movie with low expectation. I can't wait till you all see it so we can talk about it!! :)

Last night I went with my sister-in-laws Angie and Abbey and my friend Mandy came too with a friend. These girls were so fun! I love going with fellow Twihards! I didn't get a picture of all of us but here is a picture of Abbey and I after the movie. We look a little tired but we are so happy!

Me as Rosalie and Abbey as Alice.

We dressed in our full Cullen attire, and wore our golden contacts. People even took pictures of us! haha! We are true fans, or true nerds, however you want to take it.

New Moon Cast Tour in Salt Lake City!!!

So 2 weeks ago Abbey and I waited 8 hrs in the mall to get wrist bands to meet 2 of the cast members from "New Moon". Tonight we finally got to meet them and it was so worth it!! We met Edi Gathegi and Jamie Campbell. They play the vampires Laurent and Ciaus. Not only did we get a poster autographed but I had a heart to heart with Edi and asked Jamie about the up and coming Harry Potter movie he is in! I know what you're thinking, "Stephanie is so lucky!!". If you aren't into Twilight these people will mean nothing to you but to me and Abbey, we were completely star stuck!

First here are the pictures of us waiting in line a couple weeks ago from midnight to 8am. 8 hrs is a looong time to be sitting on a mall floor!



Abbey was happily reading Twilight while letting me know there was only 4 hrs left, Yipee! (insert sarcasm)



Abbey's first diet coke in 6 yrs! She's gone insane!






Finally! The sun is out and we are ecstatic! We finally have our New Moon Cast Tour wrist bands and T-shirts!







New Moon Cast Tour 2009:
The following are photos of tonight when we finally got to meet Edi and Jamie!


Back in the same line again, but this time it's only a 2 hr wait. I can totally handle that!




Abbey and I were decked out in our New Moon Cast Tour T-shirts. Isn't Abbey cute?


The following is a play by play of my conversation with the two cast members, Edi and Jamie. Better known as Laurent and Ciaus!

Edi: "Hello"
Stephanie: "Hi, it's so nice to meet you, thank you so much for coming out tonight."
Edi: "It's our pleasure"
(the next thing that was said was out of pure fun and please don't take it the wrong way:) )
Stephanie: "You have beautiful eyes, even without your contacts"
Edi: "thank you that is very sweet, and your eyes are very beautiful too."
Stephanie: "Thank you :)"















Jamie:" Hello"
Stephanie: "Hey! how's it going?"
Jamie: "great"
Stephanie: "I have to ask you a question, do you really kiss Dumbledore in Harry Potter?"
(to understand this you have to know that Jamie is playing Grindelwald in the next Harry Potter, who is Dumbledore's best friend when he's younger and suspected to be his love interest. It's all a joke and only came out after the books where written)
Jamie:" no, no, not in the movie, but maybe in real life." laugh and wink ;)
Edi: "Who's Dumbledore?"

Jamie:"Oh stop joking around!"
Stephanie and Abbey: "Thank you so much!"
Edi and Jamie: " Your welcome, thank you for coming!"

They were so stinking nice and pretty funny too. After the signing there was a concert by Anya Marina who is featured in the New Moon sound track and then a Q&A with Edi and Jamie on stage. They were so funny and Abbey and I were having a blast!

Anya Marina sounded great live.



Edi and Jamie, super cute and super funny!


Me with my autographed poster and trying to look cool. Haha! :)



Thank you so much Abbey for being a complete Twilight nerd with me! I had a blast and I am still in shock that I met and joked with cast members from New Moon!!! I wish all of you could have been there. I'm so glad there are so many of you that share my love for Twilight.
Oh and to top it all off New Moon premier is in 5 days! I can't wait!!!
P.S. I love Edward :)

Indian Princesses

So I was lucky enough to find this picture on Jake's cousin's blog. This is a picture of all us girls dressed up in our Indian costumes on Halloween. Angie is the best sister-in-law ever to get these outfits straight from India for us! We had so much fun dressing up like Indian Beauties!

Angie, Me, Dianne, Abbey

Halloween Pics are Here!

The moment has arrived. My wonderful cousin Erin sent me her pictures that she had taken at the Halloween Party at Dianne's house. We had a great time eating chili, scones, cupcakes, and candy, carving pumpkins, watching Halloween movies including the infamous "Young Frankenstein", and greeting Trick-o-Treaters.

Jake and Nick were Teletubbies together. They both were the Tinky Winky character. If you've never seen the Teletubbies below I posted a picture of them. They look pretty freaky and I totally forgot that Tinky Winky carried a red purse around. I should have let Jake barrow mine. Haha!

No Comment

Jake and I make a perfect couple, don't you think?

Angie went to India this past September and brought back these Saris for Dianne, Abbey, and I. I wish I had a picture of all of us. We looked so cute together. Thanks Angie for giving me the coolest Halloween costume ever!



Angie brought back Bindis from India too and I did our makeup. It was pretty fun getting ready. :)


I even found these temporary Henna tattoos at the Costume Closet. They were very hard to take off. I still had most of it on me when I had to lead the music in sacrament meeting! Oh well, it was totally worth it.



When the boys got too hot my cousin's little girl, Kaitlyn, took over the Teletubbies heads. First she was pretending she was working out and she would lift them like weights. Then they became purses. She was so cute! We couldn't stop laughing.
Oh and notice the cute Skeleton PJs she's wearing. They even glow in the dark. Super Cute!!

Halloween, Books, and Life!

So ever since my camera broke last spring I have resorted to either using my phone camera or using someone else's. For Halloween I didn't take any pictures from my phone but I promise there are pictures. I'm just waiting for them to be emailed to me. Once I get them you can see Jake as an adorable Tinky Winky Teletubbi and me as an Indian princess. Halloween was a blast! We had a party at Dianne's house so of course I stuffed my self with candy and food.

Until the pictures come I'll tell you about the book I just finished. I'm sure everyone of you know by now that I have been dealing with Infertility treatments. This book "Conquering Infertility" by Dr. Alice Domar was a wonderful insight on the lives of couples dealing with infertility. It's not only a great book for those experiencing Infertility first hand but it is a good reference for those who have loved ones dealing with infertility. It gives coping tools for the Infertile couple including, meditation, relaxation, yoga, counseling etc. But it also gives people the chance to understand Infertility and to know how to act around someone who is going through this trial. It was a very well researched book and I was shocked at how many people are going through the same thing as me. If you are currently dealing with Infertility you have to read this book or if you just dont understand the subject then it might be a good thing to check out so you can see what Infertile couples go through on a day to day basis.

Also a little update on us. Since we have been trying 21 months, 12 of which have been on infertility treatments and meds, and just recently experiencing a possible early miscarriage we have decided to take a hiatus on trying. I'm going to try and enjoy life for a change and get back to the real Stephanie that loves to read, ski, workout, be with family, be outdoors, travel, and be HAPPY! :) I appreciate every ones love and support. I also appreciate every ones patients with me. I'm sorry if this post was TMI but writing this down for all to see is the best way for me to cope. It is definitely easier then telling you all face to face. Thank you again. Love you all!
