13 going on 22?

For those who do not know, my parents came to visit last week and, of course, there was shopping to be accomplished. We went to the infamous Nordies and bought fantastic new jeans. When we were walking out, we saw a sign talking about New Moon movie tickets, so of course we took a second look. We went up to customer service, showed our recipe, and walah!! They hand us 3 tickets to New Moon. Free!! Anyone who knows me knows how much I love FREE! Even better, the tickets are NOT for the midnight showing, but for the premiere 9:30 showing. After talking to my gal pals who might want to attend the night, meaning Becca and Brooke, we had a plan for a fantastic Girl's Night Out. Becca and I kept saying, "The 13 year old girl inside of me is SO excited for this movie!!!" And it really is true. At the movie, I felt like a teenager (ok, no like the annoying teenagers that were actually there, but a teenager nonetheless). We got there about 3 hours early to find only about 6 groups of people in front of us. I was actually expecting a much longer line. However, we and the girl in front of us decided the Nordstrom crowd was a little less crazy than those waiting since 6 AM for the midnight showing. I was glad to not be in the latter group.
All in all, it was fantastic! After a lot of waiting and being cold, they let us in the theater 2 hours early so we could be warm (also a plus of the Nordies group) and before we knew it we were watching New Moon.
This book was actually my favorite (so much emotion... I love it) so I was really excited for this movie, and I was not disappointed. The acting was better (especially by Edward and Bella, not so much for Jacob... sorry) and the quality was definitely better. There were funny parts as well as the sad (not as sad as the book makes it though).
It was a grand night and we all had a blast, feeling like we were special getting to see the movie all early and such. We walked out of the theater at 11:30 to see those who had the midnight tickets and I had to giggle a little bc we had already seen it. It was fun doing a premiere showing. Thanks Becs and Brooke (and baby) for coming with!!!
