Whitney's thoughts... Random as they may be

So my presents from Melissa have all been given to me. They were all great!!

Megan, Melissa, Lilly and I went to Forks last weekend. We drove over Saturday morning and came back Sunday evening. It was my first time on a ferry in years. I had forgotten how much I love them. The drive to Forks is long, but super pretty. We drove past Port Gamble. I had no idea towns looked like that.

Forks was so cute! Very misty, and green, and wet. I can see why Stephanie Meyer chose it for the books. I was all prepared for cold & rainy weather, but it was sunny all weekend. We saw all the book places in town then drove out to First Beach in La Push. It is one of the most beautiful places I've been too. There was so much drift wood!!! We saw a resort there with cabins on the beach... I know where I'm going to vacation this summer. We also went to a diner that had a Bella Burger. It had pineapple on it... YUMMY!!!! It came with vampire teeth =) Sunday we went to the Quileute Indian Cemetery. It was very interesting. There didn't seem to be any logic to how the graves were placed, and all of them had trinkets on them. After the cemetery we headed home. I had a great time there, and I am glad Melissa took me.

Saturday morning a whole bunch of us went adn saw Twilight. It was a good movie. I still like the book more... But Melissa and I are going to go see it again tomorrow so we will see if I like it any better then.

After the movie I went to Melissa's to watch the Apple Cup with her, her parents, Meg & kids, and Danielle & kids. It was a good game and I am SOOOOOO happy my team won!!!! GO COUGS!!!! Jackson made a bet with Megan that the Cougs would win... So she had to cough up $20 when they won in double OT.

Today I have been working on a reseach paper... I am almost done, I just can't figure out how to end it....

November has always been one of my favorite months for a few reasons.
1. My birthday (yay for presents)
2. Thanksgiving
3. Fall colors
4. The snow dust on the mountains

This November is looking great so far!! I have lots of plans and so much to look forward to. I've also had good things happen.

11/03: Watched TV & ate dinner with Melissa. My Monday ritual that I love so much.
11/04: ELECTION DAY!! I watched the results at Melissa's. I was so happy Obama won. What a great turning point in US history.
11:05: Happy Birthday to me! I got a email from Sean today.. what a great way to start my day. Sean is in Iraq & I worry about him I'm glad he's safe. Went to dinner with my parents, Kelly, my sister & her kids. I got lots of great presents. Seahawk tickets, a new hoodie, gift card to get my nais done, a door mat & a outdoor canopy. I got everything I wanted! After dinner I hung out with Melissa & watched Superbad (it was so funny).
11/06: Went to a casino night at a law firm. I ike playing with fake money.. I don't feel as bad when I lose.
11:07: Babysat Lilly. I took her to a football game my cousin was in. They lost but it was stil fun.
11/08: Tonight is my birthday party... YAY!!

Then there is that one thing that is making my whole November amazing... It all centers around my favorite books. The one's I have read 3 times already & can't wait to read again... The Twilight series. And Megan found Midnight Sun.. & made me love Edward even more. Then there is my present from Melissa; I guess 27 years of friendship allowed her to see exactly what I wanted before I even knew. Here is what she is giving/gave me: Twilight Soundtrack, a ticket to the movie, and a trip to FORKS!! She even reserved the Edward & Bella suite. She is so wonderful! And the best part is.. She is spreading it out over the month so it is like my birthday every weekend =)
