November 2008. Young (and not so young) girls were obsessed with the "Twilight" novel series. And for the first time, you could see the drama unfold on the big screen. Meredith and I, not wanted to be left out of the in crowd, started reading the books. We were hooked. We decided to go see the movie. But as you all know, Meredith was fighting cancer the first time then. So it took some time to get there, but we saw the first Twilight movie, together, in one of the last showings at the Kendig Square Movie Theater.
As every new movie came out, we saw them, usually on the first night. We donned our team Edward shirts and we rocked it.
Now, its 2012/2013. The final movie came out. Meredith is fighting cancer again. So we didn't go the first night, but I told her we were going. We had to go. The Twilight movie series was over and to come full circle, we had to see it at Kendig Square. I'm taking it as a sign that Meredith (in her words) is finally kicking cancer for good!
So Sunday, we went to Kendig Square, in a theater filled with young girls and their families, to enjoy the movie. We enjoyed popcorn, floating in butter.
Meredith, thanks for being my "Twilight Tween Buddy."

| We totally fit in with the middle schoolers, no? Ronda, thank YOU for getting me on the Team Edward bandwagon and seeing each movie with me (even though Kristen Stewart still can't act, 5 movies later!) It's been so fun and gosh ... that buttery popcorn is delicious!! xoxo |
Love it! My daughter is Caity is obsessed with it again. She forgot it for a while and now loves it again, since she hasn't been feeling to good she watches the movies over and over and reads the books over again. I read them too and loved them. It is something we both share. It is great when your going through something that you can escape with a book or movie. Pray for you everyday. xo
