New Moon

Can't believe I got so into the whole Twilight drama, but I did. Loved the book. I usually stay far away from vampires, werewolves and all that stuff. However after hearing the buzz over and over again I gave into peer pressure and picked up the first of the series. That was the end for me...I have never read four books so quickly and was never so sad when I finished. I had to part with dear friends!
The movie was a different story. As usual the book was SO much better than the movie, but in this case I was even more disappointed, because I had such high expectations. I went to see Twilight and felt let down. I was not looking forward to New Moon coming out, and in fact thought I would just wait and see it when it came out on video. This trailer changed my mind...
See for yourself.

Debbie & Raul

We met at Calle Mayor Middle School at the end of Dean’s 8th grade year. On the last day of school, Dean and a friend were playing around and Raul, being the observant man that he is, asked which kid was mine, which is a reasonable question unless of course you had seen the other child! My reply was, “Oh I can tell you are a highly trained detective being you felt compelled to ask that question”. However, there was something about him that caught my attention, despite his highly trained eye. We didn’t see eachother until September when he was assigned as the Resource Officer for the south end. He was teaching classes for the DARE program and the kids in my class obviously needed to attend. I volunteered to be the one to take them, and of course needed to stay with them to make sure they behaved! Well one thing lead to another and the next thing I knew he invited me to go jet skiing at the river with a bunch of friends. I loved it immediately and I think he was impressed that I got on and never looked back. We dated for over a year when he asked me to marry him, by having me arrested for a unpaid seatbelt ticket (I’ll tell the entire story later).
