I am re-reading the Twilight series (again) and I can't help falling deeper in love with it. Seriously, if you are female and you haven't read these books yet, you probably A) live under a rock, or B) cannot read yet. And now that I've dubbed myself the "Twilight Missionary" (spreading the message to those who have not yet heard of this fantabulous book), I have finally come across a road block!!! I really REALLY want to give a copy to my friend Rika who lives in Japan, but I can't find out how to get it in Japanese. I know they must have it because my friend Gina (from Thailand) found it in Thai, and after she explained the story to me (as I haven't a clue what the sqiggly lines mean) I am confident that it is in fact my beloved Edward and Bella. If anyone knows how I might acquire Twilight translated into Japanese, PLEASE let me know!!!! I really want to give her that book. I know she will love it! And maybe she might spread the word in Japan. That would be AWESOME! They LOVE this kinda stuff!

From The Mouths Of Babes
Background Story: A couple of years ago I was babysitting JT while mom was out running erands. JT wanted to watch a movie so I turned around to get the DVD started. In the few seconds that I was not watching him he found and tried to swallow a marble!!!! I turned back around and his face was turning purple and he couldn't make any noise.... he was choking!! I went into panic mode and I hardly remember doing it but I quickly sat beside him with one hand on his back and the other made a fist quickly "punching" his diaphragm... the "Heimlich Maneuver". It worked and the marble flew (at a good distance,too) out of his mouth onto the floor. I think this was by FAR the most traumatizing experience I've had while babysitting.
The Reason I'm Telling You All This: Tonight while everyone was eating dinner JT was entertaining everyone by retelling this horrifying experience. "... and then I found the marble, and tried to swallow it, and I CHOKED!!.....and then Megan came up behind me and did the BARF DANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!" Where he came up with the "Barf Dance"???? I have no idea.

Mud Run 2008
Okay so I know I'v gone on and on about the MUD RUN. I finally have a couple of pictures to show for it. The first are the Peterson kids!!! Aren't we so cute (hahaha)! The second is John sporting his "turban". It got way too hot so John soaked it and tied it around his head. The third is with Jason and his Fiancee Inga who both live in Boston.... a fun fact about Inga: She was my freshman English teacher at Capo! She only taught there for one year..... small world. Then there's a picture with the office staff (Howie/Dr. Fox, Me and Allison). Then there is a picture of our whole group! So much fun! And now for the EXCITING NEWS from the run (drum roll please)....... out of more than 4,000 people Erik, my 15 year old brother who just finished his freshman year of high school, finished SECOND OVERALL coming in 13 seconds behind the first person, and FIRST for his age group!!!!! Can you believe it?!?!?!?! And he's related to ME!!!!!!!!
