I figured that since i shared the news about my engagement the other night with you ladies first (well besides my family) i would share the picture of my ring with you. Its nothing like Bellas but i love it!!!

The band was a promise ring i got for our one year. SWOON!!!!! So my wedding band for the ceremony will be a top band Very Happy

He also promised me we could take a twilight themed engagement photo for all my friends and sorority sister who read twilight. So i need help any ideas for the picture?

I am totally attuned to my surroundings in a totally different way after reading this series.

So I live in a pretty small town and I went to watch my boyfriend's niece cheer at her school's football game. The football field runs along one of the main roads in town. So I happen to glance at the cars going by for whatever reason and as I do...a red truck that looks EXACTLY like Bella's (and sounds like it too) roars by the football field. I swear my heart stopped beating for a split second and my jaw dropped to the ground when I saw it! I wanted so badly to say something to someone but I knew they'd think I was crazy!

On the way home I saw a black Mercedes (windows tinted and al) like Carlisle's parked in a parking lot near my house...hmm I wonder if I leave my window open tonight....... Embarassed

Our daughters have had a Twilight day today. They were walking to a class this afternoon together, and saw a Volvo S60R (gray, though, not silver) go zipping by. Of course that gave their spirits a boost, but there's more....After said class, on the way home (and in the space of 10 minutes ) they saw a decked- out Jeep Wrangler, a BMW Convertible, a very nice Black Mercedes like Carlisle's, an OLD Chevy Pickup like Bella's, and a Porsche 911 Turbo!! Needless to say, they came home breathless and excited!!

(On a side note - I also saw the yellow Porsche 911 Turbo while running errands this afternoon!)

Yeah, they think it's time we moved to Forks. Laughing

Where I am right now there is a TON of thunder but not much rain. All I can think about is some vampire baseball! Can I play? I play a mean third base!

Congratulations! Bet if you brought the movie poster picture your photographer could pose you like that! Or what about the Entertainment Weekly cover!

This is a fun thread! Don't you just love finding Twilight references! I had a car full of Twilight fans when we saw a yellow Porsche drive by! I'm sure that poor person was wondering why a car full of people were hanging out the windows waving and yelling Alice!!! I'm lucky that I have friends at work & at Church that are huge Twilight fans so whenever a reference comes up I'm not the only one who reacts! Now when it thunders someone always calls out Vampire Baseball! It's so much fun, like having a secret language!

I just HAVE to post what happened to me this weekend. I got to go to Forks while my husband and I were in Seattle for a football game. It was the most fun, most crazy, most silly thing I think I think I have ever done. I left at 4:30a armed with only my google map of how to get there, and some advice from other TM's about what to see. I won;t go into the whole trip, that is for another post, but this is the part that belongs on this thread.

I went to see the Hoh rainforest on the advice of a fellow TM, and it was amazing. Like another planet! Anyway, I drove to the visitor center, hiked a little around the trails there, took a ton of pictures, and then headed back to the car. I got my little girl all buckled in (she's almost 2, and I can't wait for her to get old enough to read the books so i can tell her we went and toured Forks together) anyway, I got her in, got in the car, and pulled out of the parking space. That is when I noticed it!

EDWARD'S CAR WAS PARKED RIGHT NEXT TO ME!

A SILVER VOLVO S60R, WITH WASHINGTON LICENCE PLATES! WITHIN MILES OF FORKS!

Yes, the same one from my avatar! And I have had that as my avatar since my very beginnings on TM. I laughed out loud! And then I took a bunch of pictures because I knew no one would believe me! It was hilarious! And a little eerie. And extremely surreal! I still can't get over it!

And then I sped off as quickly as I could, in case the poor owner of the car saw this crazy person taking pictures of his car while she was laughing out loud! Crazy

I'm trying to put a picture of the car up, but it's not working! Evil or Very Mad
