Stephanie Meyer book signing

Friday night was such a great night! Jaci, Kellee, Felicity, Jaci's niece Nichol, her friend and I went to Stephanie Meyer's book signing! It was so much fun. Jaci and Kellee pretty much camped out to get us all tickets! The night of the book signing, we got there about 5 pm and the line to get in was half way around the barn at Thanksgiving Point, it was crazy! We knew there would be a line 2 hours early but didn't think it would be THAT long. The lecture started at 7, she spoke about writing, the twilight series and her new book, The Host. I still havent started The Host yet so I tuned out a lot of that part. It was all really interesting! She signed 2 of the Twilight series and would personalize as many copies of The Host that you had. There was about 1000 people there. Because she was signing SO many books, we didn't get out of there until 11:30 pm. It was long but SO much fun!! I'd do it again in a heartbeat! There was a car at the gas station right by Thanksgiving Point that was selling Twilight t-shirts. Jaci and her neice, Nichol were wearing their shirts, so I had to go get one too. Kellee and I both got the same one, "I want a man that SPARKLES!" Dustin just rolled his eyes at it but I love it! Stephanie's sister was walking around taking pics with Stephanie's camera of all the different shirts and got one of Kellee and I! We felt so special! Stephanie has a picture of us!!! LOL, we were total nerds! Here we are by the poster of The Host on the podium in our Twilight shirts.

This is all the girls that went: (Starting with me, going clockwise: Me, Jaci, Kellee, Felicity, Nichol, Monique.)

This was the best pic I could get of Stephanie. It was so dark! We were in the back too.

sounds like fun! Everyone is raving about these books. Maybe one day I will finally read them. Kristi is reading the madn is so into them and she hates reading. I am going to read them out of pure curiosity and how someone grabbed her attention.
