Wow, that was fabulous! I just got home from my date with Edward Cullen (aka seeing Twilight) and just don't want to go to sleep! I loved it! Fortunately for me, I am seeing it again tomorrow!

Did you see it? What did you think?

Leaving for My Date With Edward Soon!

:D I'm leaving shortly to go wait in line to get into TWILIGHT!!!! I am so excited and can hardly wait. In honor of the movie, I'm wearing my new Twilight cast t-shirt. I might post after I get back, but that probably will be close to 3am.

Happy viewing!

TWILIGHT Tonight!!!

I'm quite excited today (and up very early---hours now! lol) because TWILIGHT comes out tonight at 12:01am!!! I have been looking forward to this movie since summer and have only been getting more wound up about it as the date drew closer. It is going to be fantastic!

This morning Rob Pattinson (Edward Cullen) and Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan) were on the Today Show. Here is their adorable interview:



Rob's been named one of People's 100 Sexiest Men (I agree!!)



And here are a couple of Parade interviews with Rob and Kristen, plus some video interviews with the cast and an ultimate Twilight quiz.



If you are going to see the movie, what are you most excited for?

Ahhh! I can't wait!!! :)

Gen. Ann E. Dunwoody
55 years old from Fort Belvoir, Virginia


Call it breaking the brass ceiling. Ann E. Dunwoody, after 33 years in the Army, ascended Friday to a peak never before reached by a woman in the U.S. military: four-star general.

At an emotional promotion ceremony, Dunwoody looked back on her years in uniform, said it was a credit to the Army—and a great surprise to her—that she would make history in a male-dominated military.

"Thirty-three years after I took the oath as a second lieutenant, I have to tell you this is not exactly how I envisioned my life unfolding," she told a standing-room-only auditorium. "Even as a young kid, all I ever wanted to do was teach physical education and raise a family.

"It was clear to me that my Army experience was just going to be a two-year detour en route to my fitness profession," she added. "So when asked, `Ann, did you ever think you were going to be a general officer, to say nothing about a four-star?' I say, `Not in my wildest dreams.'

"There is no one more surprised than I—except, of course, my husband. You know what they say, `Behind every successful woman there is an astonished man.'"

You can read the rest of Gen. Dunwoody's story here.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.

Happy Veterans Day!

Today we honor the countless brave and noble men and women who have served and fought to preserve our beloved country.



We would not be here or free today, if it were not for them. Every single American (and, frankly most of the people of the world who are free) owes thanks to the Men and Women of the United States Military: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. May God bless you and keep you. And, may you always know that your are remembered. (And don't forget to pin your medals on and wear them proudly!)

You can read about the history of Veterans Day here.

And President Bush's remarks at the Rededication Ceremony of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. God bless him for his courageous service to our country in a time of war.

Rob Pattinson: Adorable Interview

Absolutely adorable interview of Rob Pattinson who is playing Edward Cullen in Twilight the movie by Laura Culpepper, a fan who won some sort of MTV contest and got to interview him in the summer. This is the 2nd time she's gotten to interview him and it is absolutely hilarious and adorable.

It is in 3 parts and the transcript is here.

Cpt. Gussie M. Jones
41 years old from Raleigh, Arkansas
31st Combat Support Hospital
March 07, 2004


Cpt. Gussie Jones was born in Arkansas and was one of eight children. She began her Army career by enlisting in 1988 as a personnel clerk and climbed to the rank of a sergeant.

In 1986, Jones earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Arkansas Central University. She was selected to attend the Army Enlisted Commissioning Program and earned her second bachelor’s degree from Syracuse University in 1998. It was in nursing.

Her career as a registered nurse and a commissioned officer began in September 1998 at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio. In 2002, after completing a course in critical-care nursing, she was assigned to Beaumont Army Medical Center, where she became a mentor.

"She was a very dedicated person and was always smiling, said a co-worker and friend, Capt. Susan Gilbert. If anyone asked her to do something, she would do it. And she was very kind and gentle and patient with the patients."

Cpt. Jones died of a heart attack while on duty in Baghdad, Iraq. During her 15 years of military services, Jones received a Joint Service Commendation medal, four Army Commendation medals and three Army Achievement medals.

"She was so much a part of their team, and so her death must really affect their morale," Gilbert said. "I'm very worried about the other soldiers because they've lost their battle buddy."
