TwilightSo, my plan to be the perfect mom, look good in my jeans, not sleep and get everything done won't work.  There are flaws.  BIG flaws.  My friend, Natasha, made a really good point … what about Lake Powell?  I don't know, can being all sparkly be all that bad?  Imagine the tricks I could perform on skis!  I could handle that. 

Here's the deal breaker:  What about my tan?  I've been good at being safe{r} with my skin.  I no longer lay out on the trampoline with Crisco on since I've become a mom, but can I give it up a tan all together?

Since I can't be a vampire, I've been thinking, I HAVE had an Edward.

My Edward: 

Alta Christmas Dance 1991 His name was Ryan (he was killed in a car wreck in 1994). 

Do you like the pegged legs on Ryan's pants?  What about my Air Jordans?  And, yes, that IS my attempt at a "Utah Claw".  I know you know what I'm talking about! 

Ryan note

Ryan wrote me love notes and used "fluffy" words (his hand writing looks like Edward's, see pg. 86 in Eclipse)

He dated only me while I dated others or I made him go out with other girls because I didn't want to have a "steady" Alta Christmas Dance 1990boyfriend in High School.  He put up with all my rules, kept coming back for more and loved me for me.

Like I've said before, I do not think Edward is perfect, nor was Ryan.  However, there is always a tender spot for my High School love.

Speaking of Edward, do you want to read the first chapter of Midnight Sun (the book written from his perspective)?  http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/midnightsun.html  I wasn't sure I would want to read this book, but I have to admit that I'm hooked!  Stephanie, I want to know Edward's thoughts!

Thanks for sharing this with me Chelsea!  I just had a thought!  What about fake tanning lotion?  Do you think it will work on vampires?Amber

p.s. I found some really funny stuff while looking through my scrapbook for these pictures.  I'll share some of it with you later.

    You have a good point. Since when in the last 7 years of being a mom have I really had a decent tan? I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have tan lines. Maybe sparkly isn’t so bad…no wait. Still can’t do it. : ) Those were great pics! I can’t believe we used to dress that way!
