Yeah, We're Dorks

I'm ready to admit it -- I'm a big dork. I woke up this morning and drove Jax to my friend Nicole's mom's house to stay with her kids while we went to get wristbands for the Breaking Dawn book, the fourth in the Twilight series. I already had one reserved at Barnes and Noble in Layton, but apparently you can't buy it at midnight tomorrow night without a wristband. They had 2500 to give out, and I think Nicole and I were around 500 and we got there 10 minutes after they started giving them out. People camped out there since 10 PM in order to get the wristbands (that's a little over the top, even for me:)). It was pretty ridiculous. The line was wrapped around the front, side, and back of Barnes and Noble. We were in line for 1 hr 15 minutes just for them to hand us a wristband. They coded the wristbands with the character's names in order of importance, starting with Edward, Bella, Jacob, etc. We got Rosalie wristbands. I feel like an even bigger geek because I have a wristband on that reads "Rosalie" and I have to wear it until tomorrow night. Nicole and I decided we wish they were color coded instead. Then at least we could pretend we had wristbands for a cool concert, and not that we were dorks with wristbands for a book;). They will let people in starting at midnight in groups according to the name on your wrist, obviously Edward will go first and so forth. Before we get the books apparently there is a Breaking Dawn party going on that the wristbands give us access too. That should be VERY entertaining. Can't wait to see the peeps dressed up in costumes and jazz. I'll take pictures so that you don't have to miss the ENTERTAINMENT either. Some people take it so serious. I already feel like a dork for even getting the wristband and staying up tomorrow night to get the book. Ryan will have to take care of the kids all night by himself. Needless to say, he's not so excited. He hasn't had to wake up once with Beckham so far.

After we got our wristbands we went back to Nicole's mom's house and let the kids swim. They have one of those really cool big toys (below). Jax LOVED it. He also loved Nicole's mom Renee. He kept calling her Grandma. A little out of order, but Beckham hanging out at Nicole's mom's house while Jax and the other kids swam

The side of Barnes and Noble. I forgot to take a pic of the line in front. VERY long.
