New Moon Trailer

Here is just a quick post because I'm so excited!  Besides Harry Potter, one of my other favorite book series is the Twilight Saga.  Well, the books are being made into movies and I FINALLY watched the first one, Twilight, just the other day (it's about time, right?).  It wasn't the best movie I've ever seen, but just because I love the books, I automatically liked the movie.  Anyway, the second movie comes out in November and the new preview was just released.  It looks great...can't wait for November! :)

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON trailer

I'm So Excited About...The Twilight Movie!

Alright...it's already been established that I'm a big nerd and that I LOVE Harry Potter.  Well, there is another book series that I'm in love with and it's the Twilight series.  Similar to Harry Potter, they are turning the books into movies.  In fact, the release date of the Twilight movie took the place of my dear Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, on November 21st. 

Though these books and movies will never replace my dear Harry, I'm totally stoked about the movie!  The third and final movie trailer just came out moments ago (again, I'm a total nerd for know that!) and...

"I'M SO EXCITED...AND I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT...I'M ABOUT TO LOOSE CONTROL AND I THINK I LIKE IT!!" :)

For your viewing pleasure, here is the trailer.  If anyone wants to join me in seeing the movie when it comes out, let me know!

Sara Does Dallas - Round 1

Hi everyone!  Here I am, blogging from Dallas, Texas on a Tuesday afternoon.   I started my trip on Saturday by heading to Tulsa, but now I'm in Dallas for the week.  I had a college fair to go to on Sunday afternoon in OK, and then I flew out to Dallas yesterday morning.

In Tulsa, I got to my college fair a bit early, so decided to drive around for a bit and found THE CUTEST neighborhood!  There were large trees, squirrels running around (many squished on the road too) and so much green foliage (growing up in AZ, seeing green is still a bit foreign for me), plus the cutest houses I've ever seen.  They were cute looking "country" type homes and they were all on huge lots.  We don't have houses like this in AZ, so I decided to snap some pictures as I drove through the area. 

 

Isn't it a cute house?

 

Look how green it is!

The lot of this house was crazy huge!

Well, I had a college fair this morning and I have another tonight.  On the way back from the fair this morning, I stopped to have lunch at Panera Bread (YUM!  We need these in AZ) and then returned to my hotel to do some reading.  I'm on a reading kick lately, so if you have any good books to read, please let me know!!  Today I finished reading the DRAFT of "Midnight Sun" by Stephenie Meyer.  It's her bestseller "Twilight" but it's from Edward's point of view, so it's familiar but totally different (and only available on her website).  I loved it just like the rest of the Twilight saga and I really hope that she decides to finish writing the book.  Next up on my list is "The Host," also by Ms. Meyer, which I'm about 1/4 of the way into, and then comes "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West."  So many good books to read!!

Well, I've read.  I've clipped and filed my nails.  And I've blogged.  Now I need to iron my pants for tonight, get some coffee and get my tush on the road to my fair tonight! 

That's my update!  Miss you, Arizona.  And miss you, Jeremy! :)

Nothing New to Report

I've really been wanting to blog  for the past few weeks, but sadly I have nothing exciting to blog about!  I've been waiting for something fun to happen, but nothing "blog-worthy" has occurred.  I haven't cooked any new recipes or baked any tasty treats, we haven't gotten a house yet or a doggie, we haven't gone anywhere fun and we've just been busy with the boring everyday items of life. 

Well, I've finally given up on waiting for something exciting to blog about...and I'm just going to share the boringness of what we've been up to.   Since our last post:

• We pulled an offer on one of the two houses we wanted because we decided we didn't want it anymore.

• Jeremy got Madden '08 for his Xbox 360...and now plays it all the time.

• I read all four books of the Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer, and I highly recommend them!  (Thanks for getting me obsessed, Julie)

• Jerm went to Cali last week for a little "goodbye" visit to his sister, Heather.  She has just moved to Northern Cali to start her nursing career at Lucille Packard Children's Hospital.  Woo, woo!  Go Heather!

• I'm starting a list of all the books that I want to read before the year is out, so if you have suggestions let me know.

• I changed the layout of our blog and added some new widgets!

Yup, that's about it.  Sad, huh?  Well, at least we have something to look forward to...this Saturday I embark on the "fall travel season" for work.  Over the next 3 months, I'll be spending 6 weeks total in my territory....the grand state of TEXAS!  And ya know what...I'll mess with Texas, if I want to!  Hopefully, my adventures will amount to some "blog-worthy" stories!  Or at the very least, maybe Jerm will start blogging about what he's going to do without me for those 6 weeks...or better yet, what exactly he's going to eat for those 6 weeks, since I do all the cooking around here.  Now that sounds quite entertaining, doesn't it? 

P.S. On a random side note, it rained this evening and when I walked outside I found this totally complete rainbow!  Of course, it made me think of this song. :)  I couldn't get a complete picture of the whole thing, but here it is in pieces!
