Catching Fire

Last night I finished the second book of the "Hunger Games", called, "Catching Fire". It was awesome! It was even more intense and nail biting then the first book. It sucks you right in from where the first book left off and it deals with issues that the main character, and the reader, now understand, so you feel more emotionally attached. It is also a whole different game from the first book and I loved it. The only down side was the huge cliffhanger at the end! I now have to wait till next year to read the third book because it hasn't even been published yet. I hear this book series is so popular that the first book, "Hunger Games", is going to be made into a movie. That is going to be an amazing site to see if they stick with the book! I'm so excited to have an other series to follow. These books are definitely on my top 5 list!

The Hunger Games

After Twilight I've been in somewhat of a novel funk. Nothing seems to be good enough. Except for the Gemma Doyle Trilogy, but that lasted only a month and I was back to square one. Nothing seemed exciting to read anymore and it was hard to get through anything, up until my sister in law Angie and cousin Erin told me I had to read "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. I had heard of the book before on a Twilight fan website due to the fact that it was Stephenie Meyers favorite book over the summer. But for some reason I just ignored it. I am so happy my family got me to read this book. It isn't just about love (which we all know I have to have) It is mostly a action, survival, thriller. When I actually had time to sit down and read this book it took me a total of 3 days to finish it. After the first little bit I could not put it down. It is definitely one of my favorite books. I finished "The Hunger Games" last night around 1am and the first thing I'm doing this morning is buying the sequel, "Catching Fire". A word of advice; makes sure you all ready of the sequel on you when you finish this book. I hate waiting to have to go get it!

Happy Reading!

Better & More Twilight Party Pictures

My wonderful cousin Erin sent me these great pictures of my Twilight Birthday Party. My camera is completely broken and I was using the camera on my phone, which is horrible. Thank you so much Erin for these pictures! This was the most extravagant birthday party I have ever had and it will probably be the last (due to the fact that I am an adult and shouldn't act like I'm 12 year old 24/7) but it was so much fun and well worth the hard work. Thank you everyone for helping it make a Twilight night to remember!

Cousins: Brian and Erin. Don't you love Brian's shirt?! Erin made it especially for him. Yes she is multi- talented in all things good!

Here is a close up of Erin's amazing sugar cookies. Yes those wolves were cut out by hand and red food coloring was added to the chocolate to make that reddish/brown fur. Talk about dedication. Oh and don't forget Edward's sparkling diamond heart!

Make a wish!

I love how this picture shows how red everything was! :)

Erin's beautiful baby Hailey even got included in all the fun! And yes Erin made her shirt too!

Close look at the entry way table.

It was great to be able to snuggle up to Edward in this warm fuzzy fleece!

Picture of my whole outfit including the shoes. FYI the heels on those shoes are 5 inches. It takes sheer talent to walk all night in those babies!


This really shows my contacts perfectly! I love the, just had my vegetarian meal, glow. If you didn't know my eye color is originally blue/grey, so this is a huge change. It really freaked me out when I would look in the mirror!

Last but definitely not least: Alice, Edward, and Rosalie. What a happy family!

Twilight Birthday with the Fam

This past Friday for my birthday I had a Twilight themed Birthday Party at my Mother-In-Law's, with Jake's family. It was so fun! If you don't know by now, I am obsessed with Twilight and Edward Cullen.

We went all out on decorations and dressing up. I dressed as one of the Cullen family members (Rosalie) with amber colored contacts and all. I wish I had more pictures with everyone who came but I didn't have a good camera. Hopefully I can steal some pictures from Erin.

This was my favorite decoration. Right as you walk in at the entry way table was a beautiful candelabra, the Twilight book and framed quotes by Edward.

Once inside the decor continues with streamers, candles, roses, Edward quotes, and the Twilight Trivia Game. Of course everyone was either in a Twilight shirt, costume, or dressed in black and red. Cousin Tamara and Aunt Marianne.

Everywhere you went there was Twilight memorabilia. I know it's super nerdy!

The dessert was awesome! There was red velvet cake, vanilla and chocolate cupcakes, red and black candy, apples, and thanks to Erin, she made red/brown wolves, and sparkling heart sugar cookies. I was so impressed by her detail that I had to take a picture of them. She even had to cut out the wolves by hand! She is amazing!

Here I am dressed as Rosalie herself. It took months to find all the pieces of the outfit. If you ever watch Twilight I am wearing the outfit that Rosalie wears when she is seen for the first time walking in for school lunch.

This is me trying to give the Rosalie "glare". Can you see my amber contacts? The lighting isn't so great. Oh and I even added her beauty mark above her lip. :)

Me and Edward. Who knew I was so popular that Robert Pattinson would actually come to my party? Haha

The Williams Girls

Abbey A.K.A. Alice (doesn't she look great?!), Angie in her Twilight red and black and Twilight jewelry, and Moi A.K.A Rosalie.

All who entered were greeted with this lovely warning! :)

I can't wait till the next movie comes out! I feel like a little kid at Christmas.

Good Luck Bro, We'll Miss You!

My brother Jeff and his family left today for Turkey for 3 years!! He is a JAG Officer in the Air National Guard and will be stationed in the military base in Turkey. I'm going to miss all of them so much but I know it is what he should be doing and I am so proud of him. I hope someday I could go visit him. Maybe I'll win the lottery and will be able to afford to go:)

Before Jeff left we had lunch at grandma's house on Monday. Here is a picture of all the cousins, even 1 week old Ava. The next time they will be all together they'll be a lot older :(

Bennett, Aubrey, Ava, Rylan, and Carter
